When under pressure, there is hope and resilience in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ which causes us to look at the world differently.

All of Scripture is God-breathed; in its inspired voice, we hear the good news, useful teaching, correction, instruction, and training for a life well lived in freedom.

Amidst so much irreverent babble and ignorant controversies, it's easy to become entrenched in our "lightning rod" beliefs. What if, instead, we stood in the good news of Jesus?

Paul, with a whiff of sarcasm, pronounces we all know an athlete never cheats in their game, which makes us ask ourselves, “Have we tried to shortcut the faith?

While Paul sits in dirty chains, he encourages those who hear to view weakness, suffering, and shame not through the lens of the shaming world but through the cross of Jesus.
