WHEN GOD WOULD NOT BE SILENT · PART 3 OF 7 · Naming injustice isn't a political act. Every prophet in Scripture says it's a theological one — which is just another word for faithful.
"That’s God saying that worship offered by people who refuse to name and oppose injustice is not worship at all. It’s noise. The religious activity had become a way of maintaining the appearance of faithfulness while insulating the powerful from accountability.....
The question isn’t whether we have the right words. We do. The question is whether we’re willing to use them."
Wow, Harvey! You said the thing! I am consistently inspired and motivated in my own walk by your writing thank you!
Your support means the world to me.
And honestly, Amos said the thing first. I'm just trying to keep up with him.
Me too Kelly. Me too.
Well said, Harvey. You speak my mind but from a different perspective than I am used to. You give me much to think about.
Grateful you’re reading, and even more grateful we’re family walking this out together.
Yes!!! I'm so thankful you penned this. I'll definitely be sharing it with others. Keep writing.
Will do!
And grateful for the encouragement from someone whose own writing keeps raising the bar. Thank you, Jason.
