The way out of affliction

Psalm 119 is not just known for being the longest Psalm. Weighing in at 176 verses, it's a beautiful masterpiece highlighting the wonder of what God's Word is and what mediating on its truths can do for you. One of the benefits is the power of helping you through affliction.

Easter: nothing prepared us for this

In times of crisis, we see that character revealed. When what we depend upon for "normality" is removed, we need a firmer foundation. Easter is exactly that. Nothing could have prepared us for this.
