God's business is putting things right; he loves getting the lines straight, settting us straight. Psalm 11:7, The Message
"The Hebrews were not an aggressively proselytizing people, but they were an intensely serious people -- serious about the meaning of life, serious about covenant with God,. They did not campaign to convert others to their way of life, but their faith was contagious. The peoples among whom they lived were attracted by the dazzling intensities of their worship and were drawn into the maturing pilgrimage of holiness. ... They discovered, through the witness of the Jew, the reality of God who created, who entered into suffering, who carved out a way of redemption."
