BIBLICAL SOCIAL JUSTICE

The denotation of the term social justice has been captured by a few to mean rebellion or creating upheaval.

Be Reconciled

Jun 19, 2020
We must preach that reconciliation with Christ brings about Peace and Justice here and in eternity but that doesn’t happen in a vacuum. We strive to listen and learn from those who are different from us, who hold opposing views, those that “our tribe” tells us to disregard.

Condemnation of Sin

Jun 21, 2020
The words of 1 Corinthians 15:34 are very true but if taken out of context they can lead to the church being judgemental and pushing people away. If misused, they can be a block to Biblical Social Justice.
