God loves justiceThe Rule of Law

The rule of law has become a politically hot issue. But is the rule of law an issue that is important to God? Is it true that God loves justice? When it comes to our judicial proceedings there are accusations and counter-accusations of bribery and fraud, of political interference, and corrupt judges. It would seem at times that Isaiah understood the nature of our times when he wrote. “Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” Yet, we have hope in a Messiah who will bring equity and righteousness. His government will bring peace. How? With justice based on the rule of law. More

What God Loves

The pilgrims — like their spiritual ancestors that left Egypt at the time of the Exodus and that became the household of God that walked in Christ’s footsteps — sought to develop a ‘covenant community’ This community would need to be built on the sure foundation of the prophets and apostles that taught and lived in harmony with the Judeo Christian worldview.

As disciples of Christ our commission is to be witnesses of this worldview and the Messiah’s good news message that is derived from the the teachings of the Hebrew and Greek scriptures. This task was to be accomplished over the centuries and to the ends of the earth.

Alexei de Tocqueville in writing about the greatness and genius of America pointed to the vital importance of the moral teachings upon which the nation was built. He was the first to pen this oft’ quoted sentiment:
‘to understand the secret of her genius and power, America is great because she is
good and if America ever ceases to be good she will cease to be great.’
Tocqueville noted that Liberty cannot be established without morality nor morality without faith.
These basic concepts were built on the understanding that the Word of God was a beacon of light and this light – the light of the Judeo Christian scriptures and their moral message needed to shine in the darkness. Many pilgrims thought of themselves as architects building a new society and as builders creating the ‘city on the hill’ as a beacon of liberty and righteousness for all.
What are the attributes of the biblical ‘city on the hill’ and how do they help us understand our Judeo Christian heritage and our future
