Dear Friends,
Some seasons call for clarity, and clarity takes courage.
As this issue came together, I kept noticing how often the stories returned to one quiet truth: God remains faithful to what He has established. He remembers what He has spoken. He fulfills His purposes in His way, in His time.
You’ll see that faithfulness woven through these pages.
You’ll encounter it in the covenant love explored by Dr. David Shapiro, where love is anchored in the character of God and carried with steady strength. You’ll feel it in the weight Israel carries right now, where history, grief, promise, and perseverance meet on the same ground. You’ll recognize it in lives shaped in hidden places, where obedience continues long after applause fades.
This issue holds both weight and tenderness.
It invites us to remember where our faith began. To honor the roots that carried the Scriptures to the nations. To see the story as one continual unfolding, with Israel still held in God’s covenant and the nations welcomed into it through Christ.
It also reminds us that revival often rises in ordinary places: in obedience that opens doors, in hunger that keeps seeking, in faithfulness that stays steady, in truth spoken with humility and love.
My hope is that as you read, you feel anchored. I hope you sense God’s steadiness in your own life, and hear His voice with fresh clarity.
With gratitude,
“For the mountains may move and the hills disappear,but even then my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,” says the Lord, who has mercy on you. — Isaiah 9:6 NLT
