Selwyn concludes his discussion on the important issue of trust. I found these to the key points: “God does not promise to keep us from being hurt in our relationships, but He does promise to keep us from being destroyed. The more you trust in God, the more effective you will be in your relationships [...]

The verses from Proverbs (10:9-17, NIV), set for reading and meditation, sets the scene for Selwyn’s views: “The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out. He who winks maliciously [...]
