The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Micah 6:1-8, “Hear now what the LORD is saying, ‘Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

2 ‘Listen, you mountains, to the indictment of the LORD, and you enduring foundations of the earth, because the LORD has a case against His people; even with Israel, He will dispute.

3 ‘My people, what have I done to you, and how have I wearied you? Answer Me.

4 ‘Indeed, I brought you up from the land of Egypt and ransomed you from the house of slavery, and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

5 ‘My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab counseled and what Balaam son of Beor answered him, and from Shittim to Gilgal, in order that you might know the righteous acts of the LORD.

6 With what shall I come to the LORD and bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings, with yearling calves?

7 Does the LORD take delight in thousands of rams, in ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

If you, my dear reader, live in the United States, you will undoubtedly have watched the U.S. Senate as it addresses the various persons seeking positions in our new government, along with our newly elected President, Donald J. Trump.

Were I still in academia, I would be assigning papers to students relative to this election process. I would also be offering apologies for the attitudes of some senators toward both their fellow senators and those seeking a position in the new administration.

No one is denying that those seeking positions in government should be thoroughly questioned. The positions that are being sought are quite serious in nature, and those seeking them must undergo thorough vetting prior to their election.

We might also be thankful that we ourselves are thoroughly cleansed by the blood of our LORD Jesus Christ before we are prepared and allowed to reach out to others in love, hearing the Good News of salvation!

Everywhere about us are those who do not know our Jesus. We should pray for them and witness to them of Jesus’ saving grace! Remember that someone once witnessed to you, leading to your salvation.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,
