Mercy and Care Are Not Always Enough
I’ve had two rough nights of insomnia—so of course I’m completely fried. But my coauthor on Redeeming Church Conflicts (Dave Edling) is obviously not.

I just received the very sad news that Pastor Betters of Glasgow Church (where I am scheduled to serve in just a few weeks) had a heart attack after preaching this morning and was rushed into emergency heart surgery.
