Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant, Mt. Pleasant & Shiloh
Prayer: Pastor Baggett
Scripture: Amos 2:6-8 - These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given the upright man for silver, and the poor for the price of two shoes; Crushing the head of the poor, and turning the steps of the gentle out of the way: and a man and his father go in to the same young woman, putting shame on my holy name: By every altar they are stretched on clothing taken from those who are in debt, drinking in the house of their god the wine of those who have made payment for wrongdoing.
Subject: Does God Care About Social Justice?
- Justice means giving every person what they are due.
- Social justice is everyone has a fair chance no matter their color, social standing, etc.
- We might have come over on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now.
- God is just and impartial.
- A social ordering was established for Israel.
- We must realize that we cannot do whatever we like just as the Israelite came to understand.
- Amos 5:21-22 - Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings. Even if you give me your burned offerings and your meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: I will have nothing to do with the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
- We must turn back to God.
- We must worship God in spirit and in truth.
- God will punish the wicked and reward the righteous.
- God is looking for those who are not deceived.
