Sometimes it feels like God isn’t doing anything in your life—or worse, like He’s forgotten you.

If life has ever crumbled around you, in spite of how hard you prayed, you know the feeling I’m talking about. God is the One we’re supposed to turn to with our disappointments. But where do you turn when God is the One who has disappointed you?

In this episode of ​Live the Bible​, we’re turning to the book of Ruth for the answer—and it doesn’t disappoint.

God can work through you.

“Be good.”

Those two words could summarize most sermons we hear on Sundays. Imagine if that’s all we heard! That would shorten things up a bit, wouldn’t it?

In this week’s episode of Live the Bible, the apostle Paul tells us in Titus 2 not only to “be good,” but also HOW to do it. The secret is the grace of God.
