“For such a time as this” (Esther 4:14), a young woman was sovereignly used by God to repair the fortunes of a shattered people to demonstrate to the surrounding nations God’s incredible handiwork of mercy and power. Like the art of kintsugi, God redeems what is broken and makes ...
In fact, our congregation sang the ancient lyrics this past Sunday, although we were accompanied by keyboard, guitar, and drum—not organ. I was struck by the second line of the third verse: “We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph thro’ us.” My mind wandered a...
Those who surrender to Him (like you and I) share in this incredible Kingdom. He wipes away each ugly sin by His bloody sacrifice. He redeems every awful circumstance (things we have done, or have been done to us) and elevates us to sit over each enemy. We will finally understand, ...
