Fixing Society, Step Six: The Danger of Dealing with Failure
We have a choice when we are confronted with failure in ourselves or in San Diego. Jonathan shows that faith can reverse the worst of circumstances and make real the kingdom of God in our lives and in society. Saul shows that our jealousy and need for control can cause us to lash out and destroy the power of God in our lives and ruin the kingdom work of others. As we see Saul’s downward spiral continue, we are encouraged by Jonathan’s example and by Jesus, to whom Jonathan points.
