When the pain we see is too overwhelming, or the evil we witness is too incomprehensible, our natural instinct is to look away. We try to shield our eyes and our consciences from seeing the worst this world has to offer.

It can be easy to become overwhelmed with the constant change and chaos going on around us in the world. In the same way, it can be easy to become overwhelmed when reading the book of Revelation.

The Bible has a lot to say about money and much that is specifically of value for someone trying to be intentional about family relationships.
