Now i know why i am not named Joseph or Matthew or John or David or any other names in the Bible.
"Justice and equality, in the name of love, for the poor and needy, the last, the least, and the lost."
My life just changed forever.
"Its not about charity, its about justice." -Bono.
This is my conviction. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind. And love thy neighbour as youself". The church is good at the first part. Debated, argued and emphasized how it can be best expressed, and my conviction is, it is time the church gets serious about latter part of the command. Not only in Metro, but the church of Christ as a whole. It is easy to see God as a loving God, and tend to overemphasize it. But He is also a Holy God, of justice and righteousness, that demands our sins to be rid through Christ, foremost due to His holy nature, which hates sins, and then only comes His Love, of which Christ death's expressed it so that we can stand blameless in His presence. Both working hand in hand. I am convicted of this duality nature of God, and now the duality of Jesus's commandment. This is my calling, and i am certain of it, as i am absolutely certain that my name is Justin. Praise God.
you only have one shot at life, aim high. Show me Your heart Show me Your way Show me Your glory
