Jephthah and Sampson. These stories are intense. Reality has sharp edges. The world is a dangerous place. God has rescued us, made us His people, and told us the kind of people we need to be if we’re going to be able to navigate through all the obstacles, distractions, and threats that are ahead of us. “In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.” Judges 21:25 In THESE days we do have a king, His name is Jesus. God has Hope for you here.

It’s possible this is the most important message you’ll ever read. Getting down to the nitty-gritty. How the things we do, our actions, our deeds—are either going to flow from our faith and build up our relationships, or we’ll just continue being the selfish, petty, judgmental jerks we’ve always been.
