That's it, my friend. Vulnerability. In the process of finding good, safe friends for a band, we just might be hurt. So very true. But we will eventually find that amazing grace.
I'm really sorry to hear this! We are DC Talk fans in this house. And I remember that song very well. I loved it as I was growing up. It's always sad to see a public figure fall from grace, but it's a reminder to us all that we all have feet of clay. I lament the fact that some people may have lost their faith in Christ due to the actions of someone in authority. It's very sad, indeed.
Yep. So incredibly sad. I hope he has people who can compassionately journey with him. In some corners of the Church, we are so quick to shoot our wounded.
Great post, as always. I love how you can quote DC Talk, B. Maniing and Sun Tzu all in the same article, and casually mention Ravi Z. And Jimmy Swaggert as well.
God’s mercy and amazing grace meet me in places where I am learning to risk looking bad in the presence of love.

Excellent article Mark.
Reminds me of 2 quotes, that I’m personally needing even now to strongly reflect upon
No love of the natural heart is safe unless the human heart has been satisfied by God first. Oswald Chambers
Healing begins when we recognize how vulnerable our empty places make us and seek wholeness in Christ alone. Beth Moore
Those are great, Tim.
Hope you are well!
Thanks Mark,
Doing ok.
Pondering the recognized “empty places of vulnerability,” that I’ve shared and looking to union with the only One who can fill them.
Hope you and your family are well. 🙂
Blessings.
