During the spring quarter (March, April and May), I had the opportunity of writing 14 Sunday School lessons for the South Georgia Conference of The United Methodist Church on the subject of “Justice and The Prophets.” It was an enlightening though intense study of God’s intention to bring about justice in the world, humankind’s failure to heed the message and refusal to repent, and God’s judgmental fulfillment of his promise to set things right.

Truthfully, God has not kept his desires for his people a secret. As the prophet Micah put it, God wants us to live lives that reflect his priorities and passions (Micah-6:6-8).
