Faith Without Justice is Dead

Christopher J. Ortiz / The Chalcedon Foundation:
To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. -- Proverbs 21:3. I wish I could report to you today that the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is embracing and acting on its primary calling to restore justice to a world pervasively framed in unrighteousness. I cannot. And if my email inbox is any indication, the central questions on the heart of the average Christian still focus on how to celebrate the Sabbath; what church should he attend; can he eat pork; and who was the man of lawlessness in Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians. Unless we’re talking about unjust taxation, justice and judgment are far from his mind.
