5 Ways to Fight Injustice

I am not political. In fact, some might say, “I am just a housewife”. But something came over me when I heard of a recent Pastor’s imprisonment. Compassion moved me, so much so, I could almost see the walls, hear the echoing cries from the prison cell he was trapped in.

Missional living, simply put, is “helping others”. It can be going overseas, feeding the poor, caring for widows, or even parenting and passing on scriptural lessons to our children.

Still, when I think of a Missional life, I forget it can also mean not silencing the cries of people hurting, or sharing the plight of a dying world with others who may be ambivalent.

See, Jesus is our greatest example of living in light of eternity; a servant, for others, not for his own cause or reputation.  And as a writer, I never want public approval to dictate my passions or purpose.

Maybe that is why I jumped on the bandwagon?  I saw a pastor, much like the ones I had met in China….Fearless men, willing to give their lives so Jesus might be known

And somehow I grabbed ahold of the thought, “What if that was me in that prison cell?”, “What if that was my son or daughter?”  Would I want the world to remain silent, as I suffered for the gospel?

Jesus came to redeem injustices. His humble sacrifice was the blood that paid the price so that the wickedness in this world could be made right.  Jesus didn’t turn from his cause saying, “this is too hard”, or cave to worldly opinions, for the sake of “getting along”.


Jesus lay at the cross His own reputation….
