When Society Falls Apart
The apostle Paul tells us that God’s people are in a spiritual battle of enormous significance. Judges tells the story of what happens in this battle when God’s people fail to listen to him. But in this dark book of the Bible we also see a ray of hope. In various deliverers that God raises up, he reveals to us his unceasing commitment and unstoppable power. And he points forward to an even greater Deliverer where these will find fullest expression.
