Isaiah 1:5-9

Isaiah 1:5-9 ESV

Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up or softened with oil. Your country lies desolate; your cities are burned with fire; in your very presence foreigners devour your land; it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners. And the daughter of Zion is left like a booth in a vineyard, like a lodge in a cucumber field, like a besieged city. If the LORD of hosts had not left us a few survivors, we should have been like Sodom, and become like Gomorrah.

Women and Justice

8 Days

Psalm 11:3 (NIV) says “When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?" In our world today, there are two foundational truths that are being undermined: the biblical idea of justice and the role of women in society. This is not an accident. Women, in their divine design, are indispensable to show humanity the mercy of God and His way to accomplish justice.
