For Our Good

LifeWay, one of the nation’s biggest Christian retail chains, will close all of their 170 brick-and-mortar stores. Sadly, my local Christian book store is also closing, a causality of shoppers turning to the internet and mainstream books stores. The community of believers will grieve this loss, but Paul reminds us, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Ro 8:28 NIV).
