No rules, just right may be a clever advertising campaign connecting with the self-determination of our age, but it is a terrible way to attempt to live in community with others. This chapter shows us what a no rules, just right worldview produces, and it ain’t pretty.

How many wrongs can you count in Judges 19-21?

Can you imagine living in such a time?

Beware picking up a newspaper today if they still print them. Be careful about clicking on your favorite news app. The stories sound more and more like the Book of Judges.

I will join God in building a better world.

Our Father, I volunteer to join you in building a better world. Take out the giants. Rub out injustice. Deliver the innocent and the vulnerable from evil. Use me in whatever way you see fit to extend your kingdom rule and reign. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 106:1-3

Psalm 106:1-3
Praise the LORD!
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good!

Who can ever praise him enough?
There is joy for those who deal justly with others
and always do what is right.

Psalm 103:1-5
Let all that I am praise the LORD;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
Let all that I am praise the LORD;
may I never forget the good things he does for me.
He forgives all my sins
and heals all my diseases.
He redeems me from death
and crowns me with love and tender mercies.
He fills my life with good things.
My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!

Psalm 86:5-7
O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.

and you will answer me.

Daily D – Psalm 84:5-7

Psalm 84:5-7
And how blessed all those in whom you live,
whose lives become roads you travel;
They wind through lonesome valleys, come upon brooks,
discover cool springs and pools brimming with rain!
God-traveled, these roads curve up the mountain,
and at the last turn—Zion! God in full view!
