When the apostle Paul warns Christians not to be overcome by evil (Rom. 12:21), he knows it’ll be difficult. Nonetheless, he challenges us to believe that God is at work in redemptive reversals.
In this episode of You’re Not Crazy, Sam Allberry and Ray Ortlund unpack the difficulty of death to self and consider what it looks like to entrust ourselves to the Lord even as we face evil and wrongdoing. They once again commend the beauty of gospel culture, where pastors and church communities “give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all” (Rom. v. 17).
