The headlines have been overwhelming—conflict in the Middle East, political turmoil, and a steady undercurrent of fear and uncertainty that feels difficult to escape.
In this issue of Wine Press, we want to look beyond the chaos and remember that our security is not found in a calmer world, but in our unchanging Savior. The Word doesn’t promise that the world will find peace, or that the strife will cease—in fact, we know that “in the world we will have tribulation.”
But we can stand firm, knowing that even as the world around us grows darker, this world is not our home. We are pilgrims here, just passing through, with our eyes fixed on the hope of heaven. This hope steadies us when the ground beneath us is shaking. It gives us courage to face the future and reminds us that this moment, however turbulent, is not the end of the story. So let’s lift up our eyes and remember: “The eternal God is our refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.”
