Peace & Equity

This week in our unfolding story, we turn to the time when God’s people were led by kings.  In the biblical narrative, King David is often celebrated as a leader chosen by God. While the challenges faced by the modern state of Israel are vastly different from those of ancient times, we should consider if there are lessons we can draw from King David’s leadership that resonate with the struggles and aspirations of the contemporary nation.

Power vs. Peace

There is so much to command our attention and so many places that exist in fragile, unsettled states.  In the last few days, the people of Ukraine and Russia have been subjected to the fatal consequences of miscalculating leadership.  Though we are continents apart, we cannot shut out the cries of our neighbors.  Though we have worries of our own, we cannot ignore the harm coming to others.
