How do we deal with the harsh realities of devastating losses, unforeseen challenges, and moral failures around us? In this context Dr. Mel Lawrenz explores:
The power of biblical wisdom: Dr. Lawrenz uses James 3:17 as a guide to talk about the inherent qualities of biblical wisdom. He explores what it means to be pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
Plodding through adversity: Drawing inspiration from the remarkable story of William Carey, often hailed as the father of modern missions, Dr. Lawrenz retells the story of Carey who lost 17 years of hard work in one night and yet continued rebuilding.
Perseverance in small actions: Just as the builders of great cathedrals dedicated themselves to a vision they would never fully witness in their lifetime, Dr. Lawrenz encourages perseverance in our small, plodding steps. He calls us to trust that each step contributes to a grander design beyond what we can see.
