CHURCHWARNINGS 14

JUSTICE

Deuteronomy 16:20 (New International Version)

20 Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the LORD your God is giving you.

Do we follow justice? Do we possess that which God Gives us, or that which our own arm of flesh has taken?

Proverbs 21:15 (New King James Version)

15 It is a joy for the just to do justice,
But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.

IT IS A JOY TO DO JUSTICE? Are we taught that?

Jeremiah 5:28 (New King James Version)

28 They have grown fat, they are sleek;
Yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked;
They do not plead the cause,
The cause of the fatherless;
Yet they prosper,
And the right of the needy they do not defend.


The sleek do not defend the poor, but the ‘poor church’ is busy defending the sleek.

SHAME ON US!

In the legal system, there are laws to deal with those who aid and abet crimes, laws that deal with those who ‘harbor fugitives from justice’, laws that deal with embezzlements, abuse etc., laws that address wrongs.

Nations are so horrified at the moral lack of their political leaders, but is the ‘poor church’ horrified at the moral turpitude of our own? And after it is sufficiently horrified what does the ‘poor church’ do about it?

False Leaders are parading before our eyes, seducing people before our eyes, cheating, deceiving, people before our very own eyes, twisting Scriptures before our very own eyes, mocking God before our very own eyes, but the 'poor church' stands by helpless, speechless and powerless.

SO WHAT GOOD ARE OUR EYES? IF SEEING WE DO NOTHING.

Don’t judge we say, remove that log from your own eyes we say………….

Job 34:4 (New King James Version)

4 Let us choose justice for ourselves;
Let us know among ourselves what is good.

What have we chosen?

Psalm 89:14 (New International Version)

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
love and faithfulness go before you.

What is our foundation?

The ‘poor church’ sees wrong happening, knows it’s happening, agrees it’s happening……….but is silent, and will not act.

THERE IS A DEATHLY SILENCE IN THE ‘POOR CHURCH’.

The world, admires the courage of the ‘whistle-blowers.’

But the ‘poor church’, ain’t got no whistle blowers’ ‘cause it’s forgotten how to whistle!
