It seems like nothing could be worse than nothingness. Seriously, what good could ever come out of being alone, being in the dark, being out of the loop, being the last one standing? How can something come out of nothing? In counterintuitive ways, God repeatedly teaches Elijah a valuable lesson—a lesson that gives him the perspective he needs to face what is in front of him.

Elijah is one of the most well-known Old Testament figures in the Bible. On the Mount of Transfiguration, Elijah shows up as the representative of all the prophets who came before.

Do you see your story in his story? Stuck between different worlds, Moses is faced with a decision. To what or whom will he identify himself with and how will that affect every part of his life?

In Romans 12, God gives us a clear picture of what Christians should look like at the root level. If you’re ready to move from “in” to “all in,” then you’re ready to become a Romans 12 Christian.

God desires for us to move towards holiness and closeness to Jesus. How do we feel empowered to continue chasing after Jesus, especially when it seems difficult or He feels far away? What sin may be slowing down our momentum? Hebrews 12 gives us practical steps to follow Jesus more closely every single day.---Rodney was elected President of the Missionary Church in 2023.
