I caught most of an awesome message on our local Christian radio station while driving home from work tonite. I immediately perked up when I realized International Justice Mission's prez was the speaker for this 5-part series (available online by using the topmost link). During college, at an InterVarsity Christian Fellowship conference, I had the privilege to hear someone from that org speak about justice issues, e.g., orphans, forced prostitution, slavery, unfair imprisionment, and even genocide. IJM is a wonderful, Christ-centered agency that has done much to rectify some of the world's injustices. Wow. Hearing tonite's program reaffirmed the meaning of Oswald Chambers quote from my last post. Social activism has become quite interesting to me in the last few months, as it should be to Christ followers, if you've read anything of both the Old and New Testaments.
"Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the orphan. Fight
for the rights of widows." Isiaiah 1:17 (NLT)
"He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require
of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Micah
6:8 (NIV)
