We’ve heard it many times and in many ways already. And as 2020 draws to a close, it will be on repeat: for most of us, the year 2020 has been plain tough. From the pandemic to civil unrest and the unprecedented election cycle – the change, uncertainty, and “new normal” we have experienced this […]

In this year of so many surprises and challenges, this verse from Corinthians seems particularly applicable: While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal. – Corinthians 4:18 Yes, […]
