Christian song of the day…
Pete‘s sermon yesterday was about waiting on God. After he finished, Caleb Chapman* (Steven Curtis Chapman‘s son and lead singer of the band Caleb) sang a song he wrote called “We Will Wait”.

Tired of the perennial discussions about the things women aren’t allowed to do, or what a “real man” or “real woman” looks like, discussions that often invoke the descriptor “Biblical” as a way of trying to sanctify the speaker’s opinion.
