Death to Unbelief: Hebrews 3:12-15
The world is brittle and broken. We watch the news and see our communities suffering, feeling helpless in the face of the injustice happening all around us. Hebrews 3 no longer becomes a message but a lifeline.

But the question hangs heavy: Who will those beacons of hope be? Will you answer the call, or will the creeping doubt snatch you away? The door stands open, but how long before the darkness closes in?
