Justice in God's eyes is about a horizonatal transformative reconciliation that brings people into a healed restored relationship with one another as a result of the concurrent healed relationship we share with God. If we read the accounts of justice in Ez.18:5-9. Isa. 58:3-7. Amos 5:21-24. Mic.3, this kind of righteousness, both vertical and horrisontal, is at the core of what just is for the Hebrew mind.We must engage in practices of horisontal reconcilation and care for one another, ie pursing "right"oussness in our relationships. Let us pursue righteousness as a way of life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666322160909245642.post-87523488803293651772007-08-31T21:50:00.000+10:002007-08-31T21:50:00.000+10:00Anon above makes a good point in that we need to s...Anon above makes a good point in that we need to speak truth, show love, and offer aid to real people. But I cannot stand by when I see injustice. To combat injustice we need to DO something. It is what is expected of us as followers of Christ, both as individuals and as the Army of God. We need to be fired up with an indignation that leads us to action. It looks like Jammed will assist us.<BR/><BR/>BCAWith Holy Discontenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04361303239165933469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666322160909245642.post-2438811862265242442007-08-31T14:21:00.000+10:002007-08-31T14:21:00.000+10:00When we salvos think about leading God's just in t...When we salvos think about leading God's just in the Army we are tempted to make make justice into another program of the Army. All our efforts are of course noble yet, stranglely it tends to be`an effort to keep justice external. It tends to make "justice into a program that we do, rather than something we become as a people. I believe, as much as our programs are needed, it is only in the "physical connection of restoring people's lives among us, speaking truth, showing love, and tangibly ministry aid to real people, that real justice can take root in and through our lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
