Faithful, courageous proclamation of God’s Word in every season transforms lives and advances God’s kingdom, even when the world prefers easier, softer messages.
Some words read like a weather report for the soul. You can feel the forecast in them. Sunlight for the weary, a gentle breeze for the anxious, a steady anchor for the tossed-about heart.
