March 16th, 2022: Where Are The Good Shepherds?
"For the shepherds are stupid and do not inquire of the Lord; therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered." - Jeremiah 10:21
Where are our good shepherds in the church?
We don't see them, and we are left in a lurch.
Where are our good shepherds in the world of politics?
We cannot listen to them, and we have become skeptics.
Where are our good shepherds in the field of education?
We have not learned much beyond our indignation.
Where are our good shepherds in the field of science?
We have been taught that knowledge can exist in the absence of conscience.
Where are our good shepherds in the study of racial inequality?
We now have to deal with the confusion of human dignity.
Where are our good shepherds in the study of human sexuality?
We claim that we can find meaning in sexual duality.
We are now scattered
as much as our sense of wellness is battered.
