Echoes of Balance: A Quest for Justice and Freedom (06/10/'24) -Message

Echoes of Balance: A Quest for Justice and Freedom In the shadows where people stand, caught between the relentless grip of criminals and the unchecked power of government, their cries for justice echo through the corridors of history. The crucifixion long ago, a poignant symbol of pain and innocence ensnared in the power plays, mirrors our struggle today. We recall the ancient plea for a king, a leader to guide us through the tumult, yet how often does power twist from righteous rule to an iron fist? Jefferson's wisdom reverberates, his words a beacon through the years: "Chain the government, keep it tight, guard our freedoms day and night." For in this delicate dance, both criminal and government can become our greatest foes, each imposing in different guises. Yet in their balance, we seek a path to freedom, one that is just and kind. We must protect the weak, uphold the right, and ignite the light of justice in every heart. The constitution is our shield, a safeguard against the tyranny of unchecked power. In this harmonious pursuit, we find our way to a brighter, fairer future. It is a journey where justice rings true and freedom's song guides us as we march onward, ever vigilant in our quest to balance governance and liberty. Pastor Steven G. Lee (June 10, 2024)
