"Distilled in the crucible of human suffering"

This blog is about transformation. To that end, I try to post biblical insights to help Christians, particularly preachers, to rise above conformity to the world. Yet in that same world is where transformation takes place, as Matt Grills reminds us:

As Christians, do we tend to offer people pat answers about how Jesus loves them, or do we get down there with them in the gutter, on their worst day and in their most hopeless circumstances, to show them Christ's love by holding out a hand?

Good question.
