We often call Abraham the Father of Faith. It is vital that we understand what this title means, for it does not mean he invented faith; rather, his extraordinary life serves as a profound demonstration of what true faith looks like in practice.

Recently, Kim and I had the opportunity to attend Capitol Connection in Washington, D.C. It was a powerful, eye-opening, and at times sobering experience. As I’ve reflected on that trip, there are several truths the Lord impressed on my heart—truths I believe are important not just for me, but for us as a church family.

Obadiah appears in one of the darkest chapters in Israel’s history. Under King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, the nation had sunk deeply into idolatry, persecution, and moral corruption. The prophets of the Lord were being hunted down and executed, and Elijah himself had become a wanted man throughout the kingdom.

Yet in the middle of this darkness stands an unlikely hero—Obadiah.

In a previous post, I warned about Colorado Senate Bill 26-097, which sought to decriminalize prostitution across the state. The bill would have removed criminal penalties for activities such as prostitution, solicitation, and patronizing a prostitute.

There are moments when life moves on so completely that it feels as if the past has faded away. Promises once spoken are forgotten. Warnings once heard are muted by time. We forget—but God does not. And Scripture shows us that God’s memory is not something to fear, but something to trust.

A bill has been introduced in the Colorado legislature — SB26-097 — that would decriminalize prostitution in our state. This proposal raises serious moral, spiritual, and societal concerns that Christians and all people of goodwill should carefully consider.

This is not merely a political issue. It is a moral one. It concerns the dignity of men and women, the health of families, and the spiritual well-being of our communities.
