Life is complex. We know this truth intimately, even if we rarely say it out loud. We navigate between two worlds that often feel impossibly distant—the spiritual and the practical.

Standing at the intersection of divine judgment and divine mercy is an uncomfortable place. It's where Abraham found himself in Genesis 18, and it's where many of us find ourselves when we honestly confront the reality of a holy God and a broken world.
