Lets Celebrate Easter With Support for Justice
The bible is full of God's desire for people to deal justly with each other. In the Old Testament this theme is seen many times. Adam's son comes to God attention because of his desire to murder his brother. Noah is told he is to witness the flood because the rest of the people are evil. Egypt's defeat is seen as reward for injustices done to God's people. The Ten Commandments are about man's relationship with God and man's relationship with man. The kings of Israel are judged very honestly in terms of Justice. Prophets of the Old Testament cry out for justice over sacrifices.
This theme continues as John the Baptist calls for “works worthy of repentance.” He tells his new followers to do things to show their new relationship to God. Jesus calls for justice when he knows it is missing. He especially confronts the pharisees about practices that value religious practice over the real needs of people. Paul will tell his followers to live Christ like to win others to the faith. In first John, the apostle tells us that faith and lives of justice go to together. In Revelation God is seen ending history with Judgment on evil.
In our day the church would rather fight ourselves and look for anyone veering from some theological line in the sand, rather than publicly take a stand against evil and injustice in our society.
This is where radio, (I'm still on this.) comes in. Radio in its most basic forms tells victims of injustice that a world is concerned about their plight. I think the kid locked up in slavery or trafficking knows there is a better world out there somewhere. He knows it because a two dollar radio blares it while they suffer. On great news outlets we hear of a world consumed in sin and injustice. Human trafficking, the flesh trade and just out right worker abuses are well documented on the BBC and other fine outlets.
As a Christian I love to listen to the Word of God in music and preaching. The internet just allows me to hear more and more. As I write this, I am listening to Revival 100.8 in Central Scotland. We also need to listen to the news of our world. God has always been at work in History. The bible is all about God's actions in history. I like local news outlets and big outlets like BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk will take you to a world of news, television on demand and radio, lots of radio.
Today I am asking you to go to http://www.72daysforfreedom.com This site is about signing a letter to the United States President about fighting human trafficking. This effort is being spearheaded by the folks at Atlanta's Passion City Church. They became the display spot for the biggest anti trafficking art project. The display was built for students at Passion 2012 conferences to inspire them to give to this cause. God did huge stuff. The conference had a goal of students giving 1 million dollars to fight slavery. They gave 3.2 million to this cause. Because of their work some people will be set free or prevented from becoming slaves.
