Peter Forsyth (1848-1921) wrote: " If within us we find nothing over us we succumb to what is around us." Such has been demonstrated through the ages. In fact in the book of Judges 21:25 (approx. 1400 B.C.) we read: "In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes." Sounds like what we're living out this very day. Thank you, Dr. Francisco, for the wake-up call and for The Lutheran Witness for publishing it. We do take comfort in the promise of Jesus (Matt. 28:20) but that's not an excuse for idleness. May we all take every opportunity to bear witness to our faith and that begins at home.
