Scripture: Ezekiel 33:7-11 7 So you, mortal, I have made a sentinel for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. 8 If I say to the wicked, “O wicked ones, you shall surely die,” and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn...

Understanding Cultural Identity Amid Racism

Exploring the First Nations Version of Psalms and Proverbs
