Justice
During some moments of pre-Christmas calm, I had a chance to read the memos to President Obama (“Dear President Obama,” January 2009).
What does it look like to proclaim the gospel and invite people to follow Jesus in a way that leads to the work of justice?
Evangelist Charlotte Keys and the 'Jesus People' she organized took on a global corporation to save a small town.
It was very humiliating to be handcuffed in front of my family's business, in front of customers and neighbors.
It seems that much of our conversation as a Church is in a perpetual cycle of reaction. We are tempted to exaggerate the neglected truth, and end up making incomplete disciples, either social justice disciples without Jesus or Jesus disciples without social justice. Then there are those special moments where Jesus and Justice kiss.
