Yes, but...

2020 has been A YEAR, and it’s not over yet. Our country and our world are experiencing division, polarizing perspectives and challenges in almost every arena: from politics to public health, from the economy to matters of faith. If you’re asking yourself, “What would Jesus do right now? What would He say to this person…or type back in response to that comment?” then you’re in good company.

God Will Never Give You More Than You Can Handle

You’ve probably heard a few of these well-meaning phrases or maybe even passed along a few yourself. We all look for easy things to say or share when we want to make ourselves or others feel better.
