In a world where spiritual battles are ever-present, how do we stand firm in our faith and show love? We explore the essence of "Walking in Courage and Love," focusing on the importance of operating from a place of victory rather than victimhood. Guided by Romans 12:18, we dissect the power of our words and actions, particularly on social media, and the responsibility Christians have to avoid hostility and bitterness. By loving God and our neighbors and seeking biblical wisdom, we can navigate conflicts with honor and compassion.
