When we are confronted with wickedness, we don’t have many choices as to how we respond.  When we are confronted with destructive speech and behaviors, we cannot let it slide.  We cannot suffer bullies, and cruelty is always unacceptable. 

Christ is our Exemplar.  

We cannot claim the full and  abundant life of Jesus for ourselves while withholding it from others.  

Any system or people that endorse meanness, brutality, or hatefulness,  is inconsistent with the religion of Jesus. 

Any system or peoples that actively marginalize or betray the image of God in every human being are inconsistent with the character of a loving and compassionate Creator.  

Any system or peoples that subscribe to systems that prioritize property over people – wealth over the wellness of others, and the witness of Jesus, this is wickedness.

This wickedness must be rejected whenever it appears.

This wickedness must be resisted when it rises within us.

This wickedness must be repented from when we are found guilty.

When confronted with wickedness, we don’t have many choices as to how we respond.  

For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 

Matthew 5:20

Good Morning, I love you all!
