Sin (414)
  1. Repent and believe the Good News! Everything is OK.
  2. Is it cooler to think there is a grand secret conspiracy based on human trafficking or that human trafficking happens far more often and far more normally than we are comfortable with?

  10. This is Christmas. It is Jesus becoming all sin from generation to generation.
