What if your hardest battles were never meant to break you, but to prepare you for glory?
✨ Read “The Crown Beyond the Struggle” to discover the beauty that awaits those who endure.
If God is good, why does He allow so much pain, evil, and injustice in the world? It’s a question that has echoed through every age — from the lips of skeptics to the cries of saints. Yet what if we’ve been asking it from the wrong direction? What if the real issue isn’t about the goodness of God… but the goodness of man?
Romans 1 doesn’t whisper around the problem — it exposes the heart of it. The darkness we see in the world is not proof that God has failed to be good; it’s proof that man has failed to remain good. And yet, even in our rebellion, the mercy of God still shines.
This reflection uncovers why suffering exists, how divine justice works through human freedom, and how God’s goodness ultimately conquers through Christ.
You may never look at the world’s pain — or God’s patience — the same way again.
They come dressed in wisdom, draped in tradition, and cloaked in order. Yet beneath the surface lie only shadows, shackles, and substitutes.

Most Christians, when asked what the New Testament is, will point straight to the second half of the Bible — Matthew through Revelation.

It is a reality waiting to be lived.
Hagar mocked when Sarah was barren—but when the child of promise came, the mocking turned to persecution. So it is today.

The persecution is proof: the promise has arrived.
The fellowship of the Holy Spirit is the believer’s daily communion with God’s indwelling presence—an intimate partnership marked by shared purpose, divine guidance, deep comfort, and empowering grace. It’s not a distant religious experience but a living, breathing relationship with the Spirit who speaks, leads, convicts, strengthens, and intercedes within us. Rooted in the Greek word *koinōnia*, this fellowship is a sacred invitation to walk with the Spirit in joyful obedience, to partake in His mission, and to live in constant awareness of His love and power. It is the Spirit’s presence that makes the Christian life not just possible, but vibrant and victorious.
Grace is more than a doctrine. It’s a Person—Jesus Christ. It’s more than forgiveness; it’s the divine power that transforms. In a world trying to earn love and approval, grace comes as heaven’s boldest declaration: You are accepted, empowered, and beloved—not because of what you’ve done, but because of who He is.
Discover the grace that saved you, the grace that carries you, and the grace that will never let you go.
