Have you read the newly published statement Social Justice and the Gospel? More than 8,000 have signed it. Whether or not we agree or agree completely, I hope we can agree that the conversation is thought-provoking and necessary. Here are a few responses that made my short list of must-reads:
- From Kevin DeYoung at The Gospel Coalition, Is Social Justice a Gospel Issue?
- From Al Mohler, speaking on social justice at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary chapel (37 minutes on YouTube).
- From Christianity Today’s Mark Galli, Evangelism Is a Work of Social Justice.
Also read Worship and Justice: Spirituality that Embodies and Mobilizes for Justice. Thanks to Global Christian Worship for pointing me to this. Check out an infographic from MissioNexus on networks. I thought it was very informative for making a case for the church being involved in social justice.
One more thing. I am presently in Florida waiting for my grandson to be born and had the opportunity to hang out at this cool place that’s all about fighting hunger. Have you heard of them?
