"The city that wouldn't take advice, wouldn't accept correction, Wouldn't trust God, wouldn't even get close to her own god! Her very own leaders are rapacious lions, Her judges are rapacious timber wolves out every morning prowling for a fresh kill. Her prophets are out for what they can get. They're opportunists - you can't trust them. Her priests desecrate the Sanctuary. They use God's law as a weapon to maim and kill souls..." (translation from The Message)Apologies for ripping scripture out of context, but there are times when the ancient words strike very close to home.
In this season of Advent, preparing for the celebration of the coming birth of our Lord and Savior, may we also pray for peace.
