1 Samuel 17:1-51
Chris Breslin
“Darkness can’t drive out darkness, only light can do that.” –Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“Jesus is, well, strange. He refuses to manipulate people through their stomachs; he refuses to rule people through an alliance with evil; and he refuses to guard his rule, and thus exalt himself, through a corruption of God’s promises. But this isn’t how to get things done in this world. In this world it is the Herods, Caesars, Pilates, and Caiaphas’ who get things done—regardless of what it takes to see that happen.” –Eugene Peterson, The Jesus Way
