    How Submission to Authorities Displays the Heart of Christ

    by David Pollard ...
    What could be more counter-cultural than obedience to the point of death? That is precisely what Jesus did for us, and then he called all his followers to do the same.

  • Bird of Oblivion

    by David Pollard ...
