[Today: Deuteronomy 21]: Creation Groans Until Now! In this chapter, God lays out a litany of social ills that "defile the land." There is a burden of responsibility that lies upon the population of a city or nation that extends beyond individual culpability. Likewise, there is a cleansing available to those that will stand not as political operatives but as kings and priests unto God on behalf of the testimony of the shed blood of Calvary for the land itself that scripture tells us groans to be relieved of innocent blood.
