    Proverbs 21:1 “The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.” Politics: It sounds like mire to me.

    Exodus 13:3 Moses is standing on the other side of the 10th plague. His instruction is consolidated: Remember. History repeats itself in the most severe fashion, thus Moses speaks in an effort to confront the human fault line so often seen among the nations. He said, “Remember this day that you came out of Egypt, […]
