The Believer’s Role in Societal Chaos

In this edition of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett addresses the troubling events that weigh heavily on our hearts—political violence, mass shootings, wars, and the moral decline so evident in our world today. With Scripture as our guide, we ask the simple yet urgent question: What are we supposed to do?

Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Winslett reminds us of our calling to be salt and light, to embrace the Beatitudes, to pray for even our enemies, and to live in such a way that reflects the peace of Christ in a chaotic world. From Matthew 24 and Romans 1 to the powerful exhortation of Romans 12—Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good—this message calls us back to our true purpose as disciples of Jesus.
