It's time for the Church to stand up! We are the body of Christ, made for action, not for sleeping. It's time to live lives of love & conviction. It's time to bring justice to this broken & evil world.
Millions of people, even children are being forced to kill, prostitute themselves and/or labor all day, everyday for nothing in the global slave trade.
50,000,000 babies in America have been aborted (FIFTY-MILLION! can you even fathom that?!) and the number grows by more than 3000 everyday! Over 1 billion abortions have taken place worldwide!
There are approx.12 suicides by youth everyday(in the US alone) & it is estimated that for each suicide there are at least another 100 attempts. That's over 1,200 a day!
Millions of people are abandoned, abused, alone, beaten, confused, deceived, depressed, dirty, dying of preventable diseases, falsely imprisoned, hungry, impoverished, lost, malnourished, molested, oppressed, orphaned, widowed, without clean water, etc., etc., etc.!
They need Jesus. They need us. They need YOU!
What are we doing? What are YOU doing?
Let's take a stand & speak out. We are the Body of Christ, let's put His love into action, being His hands & feet. Let's not sit by watching, thinking there's nothing we can do.
Remember, greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. We can overcome, we are more than conquerors in Christ!
What passion is God putting on your heart? Who is He calling you to stand up & fight for? It may cost you everything, but it's worth it.
I want to stop living for myself, it's time to live whole-heartedly for Christ, it's time to put others before myself and it's time to put my money & my time where my mouth is. Will you join me?
Search out God’s heart and His commands in His Word… What does He say?
Micah 6:8 "He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God."
James 1:27 "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you."
Romans 12:1&2 "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Check out Isaiah 58 & Matthew 19:16-26!
I'm not telling you to sell everything you have, but would you if Jesus asked you to?
Jesus, I give You my life, everything I have is Yours. I am Yours. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven! Have Your way in me!
I challenge you to not only advocate & fight for justice on your blog, Facebook, etc, but at your schools, jobs, neighborhoods & wherever else you find yourself.
Give to organizations that are fighting injustice.
Live lives of justice both locally & globally.
Seek God, Let Him lead you!
