When The Wind Spoke – Job by Pablo Giacopelli
For most of my life I thought I understood the story of Job. I had been handed the version most of us inherit. A righteous man appears to become a pawn in a wager between God and the accuser.

Then three friends arrive and sit with him in silence before taking turns insisting that somewhere, hidden in the folds of his life, there must be a secret sin. Surely a just God would not let a man suffer unless he had earned it. Job protests his innocence. He holds his ground through speech after speech. In the final scene he receives back double what he lost, and we close the book satisfied that he passed the test and collected his reward.

The sexually perverse cannot enter His holy procession toward the Throne.

There have been seasons where we traveled internationally and seasons where we've done more ministry here in the States.
