The Christian and Social Justice (BLM, CRT, Race)

How should Christians respond to BLM CRT and “Social Justice” in general?

1. Retain your cultural/ethnic identity

2. Actively engage your neighbor

3. Unapologetically speak the truth of the gospel 

 

Isaiah 10
“Woe to those enacting crooked statutes and writing oppressive laws to keep the poor from getting a fair trial and to deprive the needy among my people of justice…”

Amos 4:1
Listen to this message, you cows of Bashan who are on the hill of Samaria,
women who oppress the poor
and crush the needy,
who say to their husbands, “Bring us something to drink.”

Amos 5:10-15
They hate the one who convicts the guilty at the city gate, and they despise the one who speaks with integrity.
Therefore, because you trample on the poor and exact a grain tax from him,
you will never live in the houses of cut stone you have built;
you will never drink the wine
from the lush vineyards
you have planted.
For I know your crimes are many
and your sins innumerable.
They oppress the righteous, take a bribe, and deprive the poor of justice at the city gates.
Therefore, those who have insight will keep silent at such a time,
for the days are evil.
Pursue good and not evil
so that you may live,
and the LORD, the God of Armies,
will be with you as you have claimed. Hate evil and love good;
establish justice in the city gate.
Perhaps the LORD, the God of Armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

Amos 5:24
But let justice flow like water,
and righteousness, like an unfailing stream

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
