Carpe Charis: “Embrace Grace”
So you can’t make what is evil good. You can’t make the day what you want. The world is broken. So, we are supposed to make the most of every opportunity, but not by fixing the world and making the days good, but by being careful to live wisely.

How? You can’t fix the world. God is not fixing the world. The days are evil so we have to be careful…. make the most of time. How do we make the most of days that are evil in a world that is broken?
CARPE CHARIS: Seize grace.

“TONEF?” (Trusting God When Life Isn’t Making Sense)
