Like People, Like Priest

Scripture reminds us that corruption is never confined to one group “like people, like priest.” When faith and character decay at the roots of a society, the fruit will show it in politics, churches, schools, and homes alike. Complaining about leaders may be justified, but leaders usually reflect the people who produce and choose them. Lasting change cannot be outsourced to government or institutions; it begins with regeneration and reformation in families, churches, and schools. As a people are, so their society will be and renewal starts at the roots.
