Are Christians more Biblical or Political in our Stance for Justice and against Injustice
Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
According to this verse, one of the ways we learn righteousness in the earth is through the Judgments of God in the earth. The Moral Compass in the earth for righteousness is broken because we've allowed the people of the earth (one another), political parties, activists, left and right, societal trends, and fads to set the standards of righteousness, of what morality, justice and injustice are, as opposed to God's word.
When God's word is the standard of righteousness and justice, injustice or morality, you can be FOR people on both sides of the political spectrum, whether conservative or liberal, in a particular nation, while being AGAINST ALL the injustices on both sides of the political spectrum, because God's word is FOR ALL humanity and AGAINST ALL injustice. That's only when we understand Biblical Justice
OUR NEXT MONTHS SOLEMN ASSEMBLY IN THE MONTH OF JUNE JUNE, JUSTICE & THE RETURN OF JESUS WILL BE MAY 31ST - JUNE 6TH TO COINCIDE WITH PENTECOST......DURING THIS WEEK WE'RE GOING TO PRAY & LEARN WHAT THE JUSTICE OF JESUS IS FROM THE BOOK OF THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
Are we more Biblical or Political in our Stance for Justice and against Injustice
We only choose as the church, which injustice we will speak against or not, when we are MORE political or cultural/racial, than we are BIBLICAL. Which is most of our churches, both Black and White....
We don't really know the Bible, NOR the God of the bible. Most Christian's only know Church or the God they were taught in their denomination or what preachers were taught in seminary or bible college.
Therefore we cherry pick what we're going to be FOR or AGAINST, based on our cultural and/or racial expression of our Christian church upbringing or our political party upbringing. You can only be against all injustices, whether those attributed to the left or the right, IF you're in CHRIST...If you are Not in Him, You have to be either or, left or right.
LIBERTY & JUSTICE FOR ALL
But If you're in Christ, your focus is on him to bring justice to ALL injustice and you know that nothing in the earth will be ALL right, until HE returns... Injustice will not be avenged completely until HE returns...
So what does the Christian do?
#1 We pray for HIS return. ...
#2 We pray for whoever is in authority, that God would encounter them to bring about the Justice their particular party emphasizes or focuses on, and we pray for them that their conscience will convince them of the ones their movements don't emphasize....
When the right is in, we pray for the leadership to do justly and love mercy, When the Left is in we pray for the leaders to do justly and love mercy....OUR Nation needs both the left wing AND the right wing for the bird to fly...
So until Christ returns we must pray and work with all that are working to oppose injustice on both sides, whether, left or right, black or white.
IF NOT, the Church will lose or never regain her identity as a House of Prayer and continue to be Non essential in the earth, eventually to be extinguished from society all together, which is what were on the brink of if we don't wake up and stop allowing polictics, and political parties to divide the Church....
IM HEART BROKEN by the latest modern day lynchings of young black men in the streets of America..
BUT this is NOT the time to make this about any other injustice or any other issue but the injustice of Ahmaud Abery and George Floyd's captors not being held accountable for their actions, and the continued racial hatred and bias that has allowed these injustices to go unchecked...the latest is.....???
His name is George Floyd. A Minnesota grocery store called the police on him yesterday when they thought he was writing a bad check. He wasn’t.
MPD officer Derek Chauvin (badge #1087), along with two other officers, pinned him down to the hard pavement and stuck his kneel on George’s neck until he died, while officer Tou Thao (badge #7162) stood by and did NOTHING. Minneapolis city mayor Jacob Frey just announced four officers have been fired.
The FBI is investigating the incident. Over 19,000 people watched George as he died. He was screaming “I can’t breathe,” and asking for water, too. I don’t think there’s much to investigate. He was murdered by the Minneapolis Police Department. Period.
Whoever is in office, whatever their positive or negative issues are, THE CHURCH must hold them to the fire to stand against ALL injustice, the injustices they emphasize and the ones they don't....
But if we make this about political parties, left or right, as the Church and not about that which is before us right now; RACIAL HATRED and Racism, there will never be light in the time of gross darkness, and we will continue to look to darkness to drive out darkness, (only light can do that)....and to hate to drive out hate...(only love can do that)
