Many of the choices we make each day don’t have clear biblical mandates or guidance.

Should we eat pizza or a tuna sandwich for lunch? Should we call a friend or relax because we’re tired? Should we put this or that at the top of our priority list?
The possibilities are endless. In these, we trust the Spirit and our past experiences to shape our minds and hearts, so we make decisions that honor God and promote human flourishing of every kind.

Though God permits sin and evil, He doesn’t leave us as helpless, hopeless victims. He promises to use our sins (Rom. 8:28) and the sins people have committed against us (Gen. 50:20) for good if we trust Him. In other words, God’s grace and power are so great that He wants to redeem every painful event, whatever the cause, to use it for our growth.
