Exhibit 1
Social Justice is a topic that as Christians don't like to get too involved? Is it true for you? This article I will share with you brings insight on what is on the table for debate. I think that we have to challenge ourselves as Christians to talk more about the topic and be informed. When I read the newspapers under religious headlines, I hardly find objective articles that speak about what the Gospel really is about. Christians are often mocked with really insignificant comments focused on the sexual or financial scandals. Is the Christian message misunderstood?
The Christian church is persecuted in the Middle East and other regions in Asia and Africa; even in South America the evangelical church is persecuted. But the truth is that as Christians we seek to love our neighbor, even those who persecute us. Why are Christian killed for trying to do good?
19Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"says the Lord.
20On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him, if he is thirsty,
give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Romans 12:19-20
I invite you to read this great article and to react and comment.
