Somewhere in the quiet corners of Scripture, there is a sound that still hangs in the air long after the last note has faded. It is not the polished music of modern worship, nor the distant choir of angels we sometimes imagine. It is the raw, cracked call of a trumpet, often a ram’s horn, […]

Having things cracked open has a strange and holy beauty to it.
