"The Lord is our Judge. The Lord is our Lawgiver. The Lord is our King. He will save us." - Isaiah 33:22

These words in Isaiah are no less true with the passage of time. Yet for centuries the visible church has abandoned the robust proclamation of the rights of the Lord Jesus Christ to preside over His creation. This needs to change.

Rather than throw Him the crumbs that conveniently fall from our table, we must assert the legitimate claims of the Lord into the world in which we find ourselves. He will elevate us to His table, to reign with Him as we do. Until we rise to this call, we will tepidly settle for the scraps of food our pagan judges, lawgivers, kings, and saviors throw our way.

By accepting these meager crumbs tossed thoughtlessly to us by the world's leaders, we actually show our preference to be ruled by people who hate the Lord.

Christ deserves better.
