It is important to understand that slavery in the Old Testament is
different from what we are familiar with.
The slavery of the Israelites was debt related and intended to be
temporary to help families correct their financial situations. Here God offers directions for protection of
families and female slaves. Thank God there
was a New Master coming.
God is a God of protection.
How has He protected you during good times and challenging times? Think of how you’ve seen His hand of
protection.
God never intended for us to be trapped in slavery. However, in this sinful world, conditions
abound for sex slavery and trafficking as identified and shared in the recent
movie, “Sound of Freedom”. Our children
are being kidnapped and put into sex slavery by evil people. As Christians, how can we take a stand and
help eliminate this outrageous, intolerable crisis in our country? What steps will you begin taking today? We cannot stand by and look the other way.
