God Never Said… Everything Happens for a Reason (Romans 8:28-39)
When we talk about God’s will, we have to be careful not to flatten it into something simplistic. Scripture shows us that God commands some things, permits others, hates what is evil, and yet redeems what sin tries to destroy. Romans 8 will not allow us to say God is helpless, nor will it allow…

Day 036: Exodus 21 and the Value of Life Before Birth

Discipleship isn’t a single dramatic moment—it’s a process with movement. Jesus calls people close, walks with them patiently, releases them gradually, and then trusts them to do it for someone else. Being sent doesn’t mean we’re finished learning; often, it’s being sent that reveals how much more we still need to learn. The goal of…
