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.

Wednesday Dec 18, 2019
Wednesday Dec 18, 2019
Today we look at the Magnificat - the song Mary sung after the angel Gabriel appeared to her. C.S. Lewis calls it a "terrible" song, playing on the Latin word terribilis, which means “dreadful, frightful, fearsome.” It is a revolutionary song as well as a deeply personal song.

Rejoice in Suffering. Rejoice in God.
Tuesday Nov 19, 2019
Tuesday Nov 19, 2019
Today we focus on Romans 5:3-5, Paul's comments about suffering. A word study shows that the primary kind of suffering Paul is referring to here is what is often translated as "affliction". The New Testament context for the word "affliction" is persecution. In other words, the suffering Paul is referring to here is the suffering caused by being a follower of Jesus in the Empire. That suffering includes what happens to us, but it also includes how we, as followers of Christ, take the suffering of the world upon ourselves.
