Despair
God has a plan to turn despair into blessings. He’s so merciful, creative, and sovereign that he uses everything, mo matter what it is, for your ultimate good.
If He can turn murder into salvation, you can be confident that he can transform and use things in your life.
Your future is not open to the winds of random change. All those in Christ had their futures absolutely determined before the world even existed.
Sin, Violence, and Sexual Assault
Evil and sin work to infuse disgrace and violate peace. Sexual assault is a powerful means of achieving such destructive effects.
As the pinnacle of God’s creation, human beings reveal God more wonderfully than any other creature-as they were created to be like God, by God, for God and to be with God.
Evil is an intrusion upon shalom.
Immediately after the fall, there is a radical shift from shalom to violence, as the first murder takes place in Genesis 4.
