Complicated: (kämple,kāded) Consisting of many interconnecting parts or elements; intricate.
The Bible takes such an intriguing and helpful approach to complicated subject matters - never minimizing dif cult or sensitive issues and never reducing complex issues of life to oversimpli ed soundbites. The Bible acknowledges the struggles and dif culty we face in our world today. It offers us hope and a way forward by helping us untangle complicated issues and by providing us with truth that truly sets us free!
Let’s approach this month of teaching with grace and humility; posturing our heart to both learn and change as God speaks to us. You may be surprised to see how God may change your mind, your behaviour or even your capacity to love others!
