Paul walked toward arrest, rejection, and danger because his love for Christ was greater than his fear. As Holy Week begins, we are invited to do the same: to do hard things, because Christ is strengthening us.

We are the main characters in our own lives, but we are not the hero of the story. Paul's letter to the Romans reminds us that none of us is righteous without Christ, and that is very good news.

We don't set out to push God to the edges of our lives. But our very real human needs have a way of filling that space. The question is: what's on the pedestal, and what need is it meeting?

Belief can be reasoned out, but faith has to be found. No matter how long you've been searching or how far you've wandered, God is never far away.

We pour so much energy into disagreements and complaints that we have nothing left for what is good, true, and worthy of praise. Paul says we have a tool for that, and it just takes practice.

Christ put on our clothes so He could walk in our shoes. Now He asks us to put on His. What would change if you dressed yourself in kindness, patience, and compassion before you walked out the door?
