Spiritual Perspective
Headlines can be shocking.
Whether a “pastor” arrested in a predator sting or shrimp recalled for radioactivity, we are reminded that sin has reached every corner of our lives. Yet Christ is the true refuge, the bread of life who cannot be contaminated, the shepherd who guards His flock. Put your trust in neither leaders or systems, but in the One who reigns forever.
