• The Acts of Jeremiah: A Buried Waistcloth

    “For as the undergarment clings to the waist of a man, so I made the entire household of Israel and the entire household of Judah to cling to Me,” declares the Lord

  • The Tension of Judgment and Mercy: Jeremiah part two

    Prophetic acts were demonstrations of the heart of God beyond words.

  • Jeremiah: A Message for Today

    I became a Christian in the mid-1970s during the closing years of the Jesus Movement and the beginning of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.
