When we think about injustice, it involves the oppressed and the oppressor; interestingly enough, both people are loved by God and created with glory and honor. How do we both confront the indignity of injustice while preserving the dignity that God created in the human being that we're confronting? In this week's devotional, Pastoral resident Ashley Edelen helps us understand the depths of dignity. Offering dignity to the oppressor and preserving the oppressed's dignity is hard to hear and live out. (Don't miss this week's word study on Friday; it will give you great insight into the depth and completeness of the Hebrew word righteous).
We have to contend for unity in the church, and we will need each other to withstand the difficult path toward it. In this week's devotional, we ask a simple question: Why is unity in the Church so important to God?
The ball has barely dropped, and already the events in the church have different corners of the church accusing and denouncing each other. Our unity is well within our grasp, but first, we must do this one thing.
In this cultural moment, staying united is needed more so than ever; however, what is true unity, and how do we obtain it? Hint, true unity requires walking through conflict to come out on the other side with unity.
This week's insight, Licensed Professional Counselor, Eric Chang shares surprising insights about the benefits of rest and healing amid hardships.
