Justice

[WhiteTea]

When Presbyterian clergyman Elijah Lovejoy (1802–1837) left the
pulpit, he returned to the printing presses in order to reach more
people. After witnessing a lynching, Lovejoy committed to fighting the
injustice of slavery. His life was threatened by hateful mobs, but
this did not stop him: “If by compromise is meant that I should cease
from my duty, I cannot make it. I fear God more than I fear man. Crush
me if you will, but I shall die at my post.” Four days after these
words, he was killed at the hands of another angry mob.

Concern about justice for the oppressed is evident throughout
Scripture. It was especially clear when God established the rules for
His covenant people after they were released from Egyptian bondage
(Deut. 24:18-22). Moses emphasized concern for the underprivileged
(Ex. 22:22-27; 23:6-9; Lev. 19:9-10). Repeatedly, the Israelites were
reminded that they had been slaves in Egypt and should deal justly
with the underprivileged in their community. They were to love
strangers (“aliens”) because God loves them, and the Israelites had
themselves been aliens in Egypt (Ex. 23:9; Lev. 19:34; Deut.
10:17-19).

God desires that His people affirm the supreme worth of every
individual by fighting against injustice. — Marvin Williams

Open my eyes, Lord, to people around me,
Help me to see them as You do above;
Give me the wisdom and strength to take action
So others may see the depth of Your love. —K. De Haan

Standing for justice means fighting against injustice.

If only you halleluja-freaks realised how inappropriate your unwanted
messages are in a technical forum. How would you respond if I posted a
Windows-XP question in your bible-bashing newsgroup? Why don't you leave us
in peace and we leave you in peace?

I hope if I were accused of being Christlike I would have enough
evidence to convict me. But having said that I agree with most of the
replies here. Sometimes fellow Christians use the wrong venues for a
"drive by" shot in the air chance at spreading the love. But I
guess there are several ways to handle it. Ignore, that's fine. Read
it and take what meaningful substance can be gleaned from it.
Remember, the airwaves are supposed to be free. The internet is the
great purveyor of "free and freedom of speech" so let's not close the
door or lockout any type of free speech as long as it is not hurtful,
harmful, slanderous .... you get the idea. I can read an atheist or
agnostics comments and not go ballistic so it would be good for all to
cultivate some tolerance in this spastic and rageing world. "He whose
head is as small as his intellect is likely to say I've had enough
before filling it up." (mine)
