Our President, Bishop Murray had to give an interview. So he asked us according to our perception, what we do see as a central issue of our days. We all agreed that actually justice is one of the main issues.<br \/>\nThis biblical verse from a book of wisdom exhorts us to trust the correct way. Money, politics and influence may be powerful, but only by justice we can create something strong.<br \/>\nThe problem is that our system of justice is always weak and insufficient. Nevertheless there is now other way to create and protect life. We have to learn that all ideas of revenge will damage us.<br \/>\nAs Christians we believe also in God\u2019s justice. We await the day when He will restore all things. Meanwhile we have to do our part.<br \/>\nLet us pray that people in Panama will seek for the correct way improving possibilities which create new life and opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Reverend Roland<\/p>\n<h1>THIS SUNDAY AT BALBOA UNION CHURCH<\/h1>\n<p><strong>Worship Service at 10 a.m. \u2013 ALL ARE WELCOME!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Children\u2019s Sunday School Teacher: Mitzy Samudio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SPEAKER<\/strong>: Rev.
