In the parable of the sower, Jesus spoke of three primary enemies of the sower’s intention for the seed. I have used this little story as a structure for teaching about the enemies of grace.

When We Criticize The Church

Micah J. Murray

We were sold a package deal. Truth and lies, hope and despair, real and fake — all tied up in a neat package with a bow and sold to us with the label of “Christianity.” The men in the suits with all the words told us that what they taught was true. They said it […]
