Week 14 - Mighty King Who Loves Justice
The King is mighty, he loves justice Psalm 99:4a
Usually when a king is "mighty" he oppresses people, and does whatever he wants. But Psalm 99 depicts a king who is strong, but uses that strength to protect the weak.
As you read through 1Kings and 2Kings, consider how these rulers use their power, in light of Psalm 99.

My review: "How God Became King" by NT Wright
Should Christians engage in "politics" and "social justice"? NT wright's book tackles those questions and more be taking a fresh look at the history of Jesus contained in the gospels.
In my review I add one element I think Wright has overlooked that will give us a deeper understanding of what our role as Christians when it comes to justice.
