“As you pray for Ukraine, be wise and do not simply accept optimistic quips just because ‘all wars eventually come to an end.’ Instead, take stock of what you believe based on who God has revealed himself to be.” Read our new article by Heidi Wong: What to Remember While Praying for Ukraine.
We shared Idolatry & Injustice: What Makes Worship Inauthentic? from Abraham Cho and Until Zion – a website that bridges the gap between Reformed and Presbyterian theology and contemporary justice issues. And I wrote Never Go Hungry Again: A Book Review of “Invitations to Abundance” by Alicia J. Akins.
