The first line of Phillips, Craig and Dean’s song You’re still God, says “I thought I could trust you.” It causes the saint to be shocked at the honesty, the transparency, some might even be offended by it. In another time, I might have been. But not today, today, it is exactly what I’m thinking….

The author with the most to say wrote his account of the gospel almost twenty years after the others.
