Curated content for the church
The majority of American Evangelical churches have failed us.
The church has not taken the lead on important issues. It has stayed silent. It has played it safe. There is little distinction between how a Christian and a non-Christian interact on social media, handle conflict, and approach a complex issue in society. Partisanship, perfunctory rhetoric, silence, and the failure to love our neighbor has pushed non-Christians and Christians away from the church.

Simply put — to do justice is to worship God. Many in the American evangelical church have lost sight of that fact. Referencing Micah 6, Amos 5, Isaiah 1 and a host of other scriptures pastor Thabiti Anyabwile of Anacostia River Church (Washington, DC) implores the church to recognize that God’s character is righteous and just and therefore to know God is to pursue righteousness and justice. For the preachers, Anyabwile has five ways preachers need to lead and instruct their congregations in regards to justice.
