But in order for people to believe in God, someone needs to tell. Those who follow Christ are called to tell others about the Good News.
Sometimes knowing in advance that we will fail is actually quite encouraging. That’s the case in Romans where Paul acknowledges that not everyone he has shared the gospel with has followed Christ. How is this encouraging for us as we witness to those around us?
Nations rise and fall, all at the hand of the Almighty God. But why would God cause the death of a nation? How can a nation have a spiritual life, and what does this look like? As we celebrate the 4th of July, let’s remember that we are still dependent on God and His mercy.
