“Will you learn from what the young Amalekite learned (too late) about God’s king?  If you take God’s kingdom seriously, you must take righteousness seriously.  Jesus is King: do not imagine that any wrongdoing will every bring you a benefit worth having.  Jesus is the Christ!  To seek first the kingdom of God will mean to seek His righteousness (Matthew 6:33).”  ~ John Woodhouse
