In the World, But Not Of It

It’s A Mad, Mad World
So much of the world around us seems mad – as in angry – and mad – as in even, at times, crazy. We see it in relationships, on social media, in politics, at work and at school. How are disciples of Jesus supposed to live in the midst of this? Do we join in the fray, or does God’s Word point us to a better way? Let’s explore how God calls Christians to live in “a mad, mad world.”

Today we’ll explore these questions to begin to discover a working plan for living in “a mad, mad world.”
