I'm a simple man.
I love my wife and my son. I have a few friends and only one or two whom I would call close. I'm not terribly complicated. I suppose that helps when life becomes complicated.
It helps to have a simple faith.
Through the years, puzzles have held me in thrall. I don't mean the cardboard puzzles or the strange blacksmith's puzzles. I mean the puzzles of life and faith. Perhaps it's a spiritual gift, or it may just be a talent I possess, but I can see connections that other people seem to miss. It took several years, but the whole of the scriptures has finally become clear: love God, love others. (See Mark's gospel, chapter 12, vv30,31). It's not complicated.
Yes, sin exists. We all struggle with something. Some people refuse to acknowledge sin for what it is. Some people overthink and see sin where it isn't.
Let's start at the simplest point, then move on from there.
