We all live by hope and for hope. Then, too often, hard reality impacts that hope. In chapter 5 of  the book of Romans, Paul shares a fascinating process that God has woven into our lives that can help us maintain and even deepen our hope in the midst of suffering.

At its core, our need for approval is a God-given longing. It points to a deeper need we all have for a right standing before a holy God.

The world has become increasingly divided. That division can sometimes make its way into the church. How can we truly live as a united community while celebrating the diversity of views and opinions that we might have, especially if those opinions are opposed to one another? We look to the final chapters of the book of Romans, and seek insight from Paul on how to live as a unified community.

Based on the mercies that God has shown us in Chapters 1 to 11, Paul in Romans 12 teaches us how to live out a truly counter-cultural life. Christians can be different. In fact, Christians should be different. Not because we are better, but because we have experienced God’s mercies and forgiveness.
