God hates injustice.<BR/>2. The kingdom of God is a new order.<BR/>3. The church is an alternative community<BR/>4. The kingdom of God transforms the world by addressing the specifics of injustice.<BR/>5. The church is the conscience of the state, holding it accountable for upholding justice and restraining its violence.<BR/>6. Take a global perspective.<BR/>7. Seek the common good.<BR/><BR/>All seven points are well and good; I wish Jim luck and pray he does indeed arouse the sleeping Christians since the western institutions have failed at its commission. Too many churches in the USA have become places to socialize and be entertained; to be patted on the back just for doing the minimum of what is required if one claims to be a Christian; and churches have become businesses that maintain the status quo, rather than spread the social gospel.Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-84878304677140229322008-01-27T15:01:00.000-07:002008-01-27T15:01:00.000-07:00A Greater Awakening<A HREF="http://www.opednews.com/articles/life_a_eileen_f_080124_a_greater_awakening_3a.htm" REL="nofollow">A Greater Awakening</A>Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-21995114427959027702008-01-27T14:58:00.000-07:002008-01-27T14:58:00.000-07:00What Would Jesus Do?<A HREF="http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_jane_sti_080126_what_would_jesus_do_3f.htm" REL="nofollow">What Would Jesus Do?</A>Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529911467686742944.post-47570285748344311992008-01-27T09:25:00.000-07:002008-01-27T09:25:00.000-07:00“A Rough in the Diamond” Diamonds are symbols o...“A Rough in the Diamond” <BR/><BR/> Diamonds are symbols of wealth, power and luxury. But in Africa, these diamonds cost more than money – they cost lives.<BR/><BR/> Blood diamonds are gems implicated, through the manner in which they are mined, in serious human rights abuses, child labor and environmental destruction.<BR/><BR/> 50,000 have people died and 20,000 men, women and children have lost limbs to machete-wielding rebels who have seized control of Sierra Leone’s diamond mines. At the same time, 46 percent of Angolan miners are under age 16.<BR/><BR/> The human rights violations are not only the result of strife in Africa, but also the lack of efforts to halt the trade in these diamonds. A 2004 Amnesty International survey found that only 11 percent of U.S. jewelers had a policy on blood diamonds.<BR/><BR/> Make informed choices about everything you buy and you can make a real difference. <BR/><BR/> Let your adornment be the inner self with the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. (1 Peter 3:4)<BR/><BR/> Help us stand up for what is right in what we say, do and buy, Holy Spirit.Geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394481186826177509noreply@blogger.com
