(In)Justice

“What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8.)

The gap between rich and poor continues to widen. In the context of global wealth, we in the United States are the rich ones. How do we “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God”? How do we interpret Jesus’ parables about wealth in our lives? What are our confessions? our callings as faithful Christians? How do concepts of biblical justice fit into 21st century lives?
