RANKIN COUNTY, Miss. — The Department of Justice wants anyone who has been abused by a member of the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office to report it. An investigation into the January torture and abuse of two Black men at a home in Braxton ended with guilty pleas from six now-former Rankin County deputies and an ex-officer with the Richland Police Department. When the former lawmen, some of whom were known as “The Goon Squad,” pleaded guilty in August, the DOJ encouraged the public to call the FBI hotline at 800-CALL-FBI, email tips.fbi.gov, or call the FBI in Jackson at 601-948-5000 to report any instances of abuse by the RCSO.

The Scriptural passage selected for today is found in Psalm 18:32: “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” The psalmist knew the source of his strength. He enjoyed a personal relationship with God and relied on his Maker to come to his aid without fail. How comforting to know that we, too, have access to that same power and source of strength when we find ourselves weak and in dark and uncertain places. God encourages us to call on Him for deliverance and safe passage. He is our light source. In Him, there is no darkness. He, in fact, dispels it. Rely on God, put your trust in Him, and allow Him to supply all your needs. Amen!

The Scriptural passage chosen for this morning is found in Romans 1:16: “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the gentile.” The apostle often spoke of his personal transformation by the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit. He spent much of his adult life and ministry proclaiming the message of Jesus to all who would listen, unashamedly preaching the Word with boldness and pride. He knew in whom he believed and wanted all people to share this gift of salvation. The message remains the same today. We who have accepted this marvelous gift are to take it and share it with others. The Word of God for the people of God; thanks be to God! Amen!

The Scriptural passage selected for today is found in Psalm 62:1-2: “My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.” The psalmist never missed an opportunity to sing God’s praises, and this is one of his best songs or poems. Rest in body and peace of mind were both provided anyone who wished to enter into covenant with God. Saving grace, inner courage, and personal protection also awaited all who asked. The same holds true for us today. God never changes; He’s just the same: then, today, and forever. If you have not already, please accept God’s gift of salvation and enter into the special covenant the psalmist wrote about so eloquently. “Whosoever will, let him come.” Amen!
