U-turns are permitted in life. We grow, change, fail and succeed. We believe that God is there, that He loves us and will bring us safely through whatever life throws our way. That's why we can make u-turns when necessary with confidence and not fear. This podcast is sponsored by Trinity Christian Reformed Church in Broomall, Pa.

This is the first in our summer 2020 series in which we look for God in some popular songs of our time or generation. Today's song is by The Rolling Stones, their famous "Gimme Shelter". "Oh, a storm is threat'ning, My very life today, If I don't get some shelter, Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away." Relevant lyrics for our time. Psalm 91 speaks of the shelter we find in God. Join us!

Today we look at the virtue of Kindness. "Kindness is a type of behaviour marked by acts of generosity, consideration, or concern for others, without having an expectation of praise or reward." God is Kind- and he calls us to show kindness to one another.

Today we look at the virtue of Patience - being "long in the nose" as the Hebrews say. And we try to make a distinction between the everyday frustrations and irritations that produce patience, and the kind of patience that aligns with God's "slow to anger" work of building His Kingdom.

Today we look at the virtue of Chastity. This also carries a very spiritual association, especially for the early church. Knowing God's love is the foundation to treating others with love and respect, especially when it comes to sexuality.

Today we close the Lord's Prayer with the doxology - the last phrase, in which we confirm that the kingdom, power and glory belong to God - and Jesus - and Him alone. IN this time of COVID-19, when the empire is crumbling around us, these words should be our foundation.

During lockdown we all need to receive and extend forgiveness. Well, anytime, actually, but perhaps especially now. This petition is very powerful and very practical. "Forgive us our debts/sins, as we forgive those who sin against us." But is it really so conditional? What if forgiveness was not conditional, but a dance?
