Welcome to the conversation.
I just thought to let you know that I have updated my website: http://www.geoffreybaines.org.uk.

Welcome to the conversation.
I mentioned in my last blog that I had been reading through Romans 5:3-11 in The Message. Eugene Peterson’s translation has sensitised me to a very important word as Peterson unwraps what he thinks it means to be reconciled to God. Paul says, ‘Now that we have received this amazing […]
