Gospel Moment: When Forgiveness Feels Impossible
The candidates will come and go. Policies will shift. But the heart of the matter is not ultimately left or right—it is above. Proverbs 21:1 reminds us, “The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will.” God is not pacing the heavens worried about November.
