Tell City Nazarene Church's Biblical Journey
With Pastor Charles Areson
Today's reading is the Micah 1-4
Micah's prophecy isn't just for Israel or Judah but for both. Micah says the sin of these nations is their capital cities. Which can cause someone to wonder how can a city be a sin?
The answer is that these are the places where the leaders of the nation live and rule. It is from here that the corruption in these nations is celebrated and encouraged. It is like when people in the USA say that the problems in the Government come from Washington, D.C.
God holds rulers and leaders responsible for what they do. This doesn't mean that everyone else is off the hook. Each of us will answer to God for what we do in response to the rulings of those who lead us.
