There are some passages in the Bible that really hit you and make you stop and think. These aren’t light reading.

Greetings, gothic friends walking the shadowy path with Christ. Today we are going to sit with Luke 14 26 because it hits like a cold wind through an old cemetery.

Let’s imagine a dry desert valley under the harsh sun with three kings and their armies marching together for a battle. There’s no water anywhere, just dust and desperation, and then God comes through and does a miracle that seems more like a nightmare at first. You might expect a clean heroic tale, but this
