Bronnert: the pursuit of social justice

Meditation:
    Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation.
    —Galatians 6:15 (NIV)
Quotation:
    There are many formidable obstacles in the pursuit of social justice. The challenge for the Christian is to put into concrete terms the revolutionary style of life lived by Christ; to translate into economics, education, politics, and human relationships that he is a “new creation”, who looks at no one and no situation from simply a human point of view of self-interest and self-concern.

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, am I taking someone near me for granted? CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
