It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

What We Are to Do with Our Freedom, Reflecting on Deuteronomy 10:12-13, 17-21 and Psalm 72

As we Americans prepare to celebrate our freedom, let us remember how God intends for us to use freedom:
  • from Deuteronomy: Love the stranger. Worship only God. Remember that God executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and loves the strangers, providing them food and clothing.

  • from Psalms: May our rulers deliver the needy when they call, the poor and those who have no helper.
