Thank you, Erlene, for suggesting this–We Are an Offering, by Chris Christian.
In light of the constant seepage of bad news, let us remember Paul’s exhortation to Christians to “offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God” (Romans 12:1). God will use us: He will let us enter into His work. And bearing in mind that He uses weak things to overthrow the mighty, and foolish things to confound the wise, and things that are despised to undo the things that are honored by this fallen world (1 Corinthians 1)… it may be that He’s got the bad guys right where He wants them.
