  7. How big can you build your cross? Or maybe that's not what Jesus wants from his followers. I guess you should listen to find out...
  8. Orgies and drunkenness and licentiousness, oh my! Sometimes Christians get hung up on the really “big” sins, but Paul lists quarreling and jealousy right there with them. What’s the connection? Craig and Troy discuss how love does no wrong to a neighbor, for love is the fulfillment of the law.
