The Sign You Already Have: What King Ahaz Teaches Us About Facing Hard DecisionsEvery one of us, sooner or later, faces a decision where neither option feels safe.

He had the strength of a thousand men. He could tear a lion apart with his bare hands, bring down an entire temple with a single push, and carry a city's gate on his shoulders for miles.

But for many of us, church is something that happens to us rather than something we actively participate in.That's a p...  Read More
