The Confessional County Quotes

“We are swimming in land curses today. We have to be if we believe the Bible’s ethics and that God is consistent and just. It may be that we are so insulated from fluctuations in crop production and economics we do not realize it. Or it may be that we have become numb to the sin that’s everywhere present. But the Bible says we’re guilty, and the data shows it is happening.”
― Raymond L. Simmons, The Confessional County: Realizing the Kingdom through Local Christendom

“we need to recover the Bible’s perspective that God sees societies (i.e., nations, states, counties and towns) as distinct entities. He sees them in parts but also as a whole. And they have distinct covenant responsibilities as a whole.”
