God’s grace is one of the most magnificent powers operating in our world today, as it remarkably denotes provisions for life—forgiveness, favor, empowerment, insights, resources—we receive despite our inability to ever earn or repay them. The epitome of this provision is God’s love revealed through the redemptive and transformative work of Jesus Christ on the cross. How incredibly empowering is such a provision of God in our devastatingly broken world! It is from this perspective that we will seek to address issues of faith, race, and the social challenges that challenge our world today.

Faith

In times of great changes and challenges we are most clearly reminded of our need for a power who has been present all along, but who we’ve not always focused on. God says ‘come let us reason together,’ so let’s hear from Him.

Race

Race continues to be one of, if not the most challenging issues in America’s history. It continues to divide groups as to its impact, relevance, and solution. Although focusing on similar issues based on ethnicity, the Bible has great guidance for addressing racial issues in twenty-first century America. Let’s see what it says.

Social Issues

Life can be difficult, and unfortunately seeking to lessen its challenges through social interactions can sometimes heighten the stress. But at a time where American society finds itself most divided by various issues, from mental health to physical health, God gives us insights on life that allow us to live our best lives. Let’s consider His insights.
