Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise. They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the LORD.Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness, and would make their offspring fall among the nations, scattering them among the lands.
If our calling is to serve as Ambassadors of Reconciliation, and it is, how can the Lord continue to allow our lack of full and complete application to the task? We rail against the government. We despise those who do not follow Your teachings. We attack the character of those who do not agree with our understanding of the Word of God. This is not working for reconciliation, not using our God given talents to persuade and teach.
