Although we glibly talk about the land we “own,” we are actually using what belongs to another. The earth belongs to God by virtue of the fact that He created it. Has God relinquished His ownership?
In these days when the issues of skin color and ethnicity are the underlying factor in riots, bigotry, and unrest, the Christian turns to the Word of God to learn from the Author of Life how to relate to them. What difference does ethnic origin make to Him? to the church? in eternity?
A frank look at alarming issues threatening the church in the twenty-first century. Do we value the safeguards that we have received in conjuction with our Anabaptist heritage? Will we recognize the same old issues that now go by new names? "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
Why not? Well...can a Christian serve without breaching the Biblical principle of the unequal yoke? without resisting evil? without blurring the line between church and state? without taking revenge? The Christian has a higher calling than that of a juror: to be an ambassador of peace and love.
