Hurt world…
He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets prisoners free,the LORD gives sight to the blind,
the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down,
the LORD loves the righteous. The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked. Psalm 146
Hurt world…
Speak up for those who cannot speak for
themselves,for the rights of all who
are destitute.Speak up and judge
fairly; defend the rights of the poor and
needy.Proverbs 31v8-9
Our
calling
Hard Words …
You trample on the poor and force him to give you
grain
You oppress the righteous and take bribes
and you deprive the poor of justice in the courts.
Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.
Hard Words … Is this not this the kind of fasting I have
chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie
the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break
every yoke?
Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor
wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your
own flesh and blood?
Isaiah 58
I was hungry and your formed a humanities group to discuss my hunger. I was
imprisioned and you crept off quietly to pray in your chapel for my release, I was naked and in your mind you debated the
morality of my appearance. I was sick and you knelt and thanked God for your health. I was homeless and your preached to me
about the spiritual shelter of God. I was lonely and you left me alone to pray
for me. YOU SEEM SO HOLY but I am still hungry
and cold and alone.
Hard words but good encouragement
But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream! Amos 5:24
If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
and if you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the
oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, Isaiah 58
