  4. Jesus was Marginalized

    Posted by Anawim Christian Community
    / February 15, 2017 / 1 Comment
    Jesus was marginalized for hanging out with the poor, the gangbanging zealot and despicable whore. He went to dark places, the ghetto and hood.

    / May 14, 2015 / 1 Comment

  10. Beggars and Sign Holders

    Posted by Anawim Christian Community
    / April 5, 2014 / 2 Comments
