He also doesn’t want us seeking attention for our worship, fasting, or self-discipline.
And He sure as heck doesn’t want us fighting one another, hurting ourselves, or beaten down and depressed.

He wants us to help our neighbors be free.
He wants to lighten our loads, and He wants us to help our neighbors lighten their loads because that’s the only way to...
