Well-meaning Christians will often say “The Bible is literal truth,” but what do we do with statements that are clearly not meant to be taken literally?

Abraham’s family reached a breaking point. Fortunately, God was there to help all of them pick up the pieces. In our own families, the desire is NOT to get to that point, but to solve our solvable problems. We’ll share […]

Abraham’s nephew was living among cities that had grown too wicked to be allowed to continue. God’s justice and compassion for the vulnerable compelled him to act. But even in this process, Abraham became an advocate for mercy. We discover […]
