Is Christianity Good?
Why would someone pretend to be godly?
What do we do when people in power claim the name of Jesus, and then do stuff that seems so, well, anti-Jesus?
Turns out, a bunch of people in the Bible considered these questions, too!

I Peter 3 with a word for us today.

He called it “witch words.”

For today's devotional entry, @revcalebcampbell.bsky.social writes that we hold a simple question close this Advent: Where am I trusting the sword to do what only the cross can accomplish? Where have I expected political power to secure what only Jesus can give?
