"On Earth as It Is in Heaven (Justice Movements)"
Isaiah reminds us that God isn’t interested in our spirituality or our church attendance if it is not backed up by treating others right.
The church has always been one of the greatest forces for good on the planet, and it continues to hold that kind of potential within its ranks. As we, empowered by God’s Spirit move from our church pews and respond to the truths of Scripture, we can change the world.
Some would say it’s great when governments get behind us, and society as a whole picks up on the values of the Bible, but history shows us God has always used his Church whether or not the culture follows.
Revival and awakening often occur outside the halls of power or without the popular newspapers of our day taking notice, and that’s just fine. What God can do through one person completely sold out to him is more important than that.
We don’t need to wait for the right president, or the right congressmen, or the right media environment to pick up the cause of justice before we decide to do what is right in our own neighborhood, down the street, and on the other side of the world.
The person who follows Christ sees a need and fills it.
God has done too much inside of us for us to stay silent or spend all our time protesting—we want to actually do something to make a difference. God didn’t do all that he has done inside of us so we could sit and coast through this life. He wants to bring this life through us to others.
