Til The War Is Won: How A Reading of Psalm 27 Kept Me Encouraged In Times of Uncertainty

Description

As a person of faith, we believe in the things we cannot see. We believe in God. We believe in eternal life. We believe in the soul of human beings. In the rational world, we believe that one plus one equals two. However, there is something within us that compels us to believe that one plus one also equals three. I believe that unity will one day come from diversity. It is my hope that more of us, will release our blind trust in rules and politics. That we will painfully and faithfully unpack the reality of race, the social construct, that puts one against the other, and begin to see that in the landscape of the US there is really just us. While we all seek to negotiate this short path we call life, may we long to live and love like Jesus, til the war is won. Dr. M.
