God takes sides

10 September, 2013 Karl MöllerLeave a comment

Terence E. Fretheim, Exodus

In celebration of


‘You have to trust that every true friendship has no end …. The love you give and receive is a reality that will lead you closer and closer to God as well as to those whom God has given you to love.’

(Henri J. M. Nouwen, The Inner Voice of Love: A Journey through Anguish to Freedom)
