In these seemingly increasingly divisive days, where do we get the resolve to get along with those who seem deeply different from us?
In this age of ubiquitous software and operating system updates, how can we think that the Bible is God’s final word on what we believe and how we live? Doesn’t it need an update, too?
Perfect justice will NOT be achieved in this life. We work TOWARD justice in this life, but we wait on God to TRULY bring justice when he rules the world.
