Wars are frequently waged to gain control of land and the resources that are on/in the land. Nations often want to “extend their borders” (both literally and figuratively) and accomplish it through horrific acts of violence. Historically, how have wars that our nation waged extended our borders? How do you think God views our “expansion plans”?
What, if anything, could people of faith do about the past? Would corporate confession and repentance and some form of restitution help? If so, how? What could people of faith do about border expansion that might be proposed in the future?
