As a Christian and a believer, God doesn't promise you that life will always be easy. When life is hard, I find it even harder to serve and praise God. Because I'm often questioning if God forgot about me or if God is punishing me. What if God didn't forget about you and He's just testing your faith in Him?

We're all familiar with the story of Sodom & Gomorrah, as it's often used as weaponizing scripture. In this episode, we are looking at the story from a different lens.

======================

📜 SCRIPTURES REFERENCED

Genesis 18 - 19 | Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed

Judges 19 - 20 | The Levite Man and his Concubine

Genesis 19 vs 3, 4 & 8

Judges 19 vs 20, 22 & 24

We all love a little true crime. But true crime in the Bible just hits differently. No wonder this story was never mentioned in Sunday school, Bible study, or church services. The Bible isn’t all about good feels, there are certainly a whole lot of thrills.

There are two versions of the Lord's prayer: Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4. Luke 11:2-4 is what I learned growing up. This is also the prayer Jesus told the disciples when they asked him to teach them how to pray.
