Christians, God is good and what we believe is good. Hold onto that when the world tells us otherwise. “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!” Psalm 34:8 ESV

For every hour we spend agonising over societal crimes of the past, we should probably allow a minute or two to wonder what we're doing now that will be similarly condemned a hundred years hence. Climate, obviously; animal rights, likewise. What else?

We have a 7am prayer meeting at church, we have been praying regularly for a spouse of someone in our church who isn’t a Christian. He has cancer and is at the end of his life but we were told this morning he turned to Christ yesterday. We were overwhelmed. Praise the Lord.
