I remember a conversation I had with a friend some time ago, where I was worried about past mistakes getting in the way of ministry. I can recall his answer as if it were yesterday, "So now you're tainted? Damaged goods? No, you're not". His words marked me and reminded me of Paul's writings in 1 Corinthians 1:28… Continue reading Damaged Goods
