This website is hosted by Robert Wurtz II. This blog is intended to be a means of putting into writing some of my musings about New Testament Christianity in a post modern culture. We are instructed in scripture to, "Gird up the loins of our minds."
In this article, we discuss the nature of Saul, who was completely given over to pride, envy, ambition, and hatred. He would destroy anyone in his own way, including his own son. This is the savagery of pride, ambition, and envy run-amuck.
It’s human nature to want to retaliate when wronged especially when the actions are part of a systematic attack. Iniquitous laws are an ancient evil that God addresses many times in the Old and New Testament. When God’s people are oppressed, He sees and hears. Let Him handle it.

The author draws parallels to modern political schemes, urging readers to focus on collective efforts for the greater good rather than individual glory in building God's kingdom.
