So many of the Psalms ask the question, "Why do the wicked prosper while the righteous get trampled on?" We often don't realize that this question may actually be directed *within* the community of the people of God and not those from the outside.

"Why do abusers continue to be invited to write books and speak at conferences while their victims are shamed and silenced?"

"Why do ungodly promoters of injustice continue to have statues, buildings, and memorials named after them while those who suffered under...

their oppression remain unrepresented in our collective Christian history?"

"Why do bullying pastors who strong arm their way in the church get high figure salaries while humble, faithful shepherds struggle to provide for their families?"

"Why do the doctrinally...

intelligent but orthopraxically godless seminarians receive calls from the church while the most pious, humble, and teachable end up nearly on the streets?"

"Why do the most arrogant and prideful seminary professors receive protection and profile while the honest and most...

pastoral get ridiculed behind closed doors for being 'soft?'"

For all ages, the faithful and godly have asked this question out of their trust in God, and it remains ever so relevant today.
