Cry for Justice is Biblical

If we are concerned about unrighteousness in personal moral affairs but not concerned about brutal injustice in the public arena, are we really representing God's moral character as Christians? 
Read Micah Ch 2 

1 Woe to those who plan iniquity, to those who plot evil on their beds!
At morning’s light they carry it out because it is in their power to do it.
2 They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take them.
They defraud people of their homes, they rob them of their inheritance.
Micah 2:1-2


Even in our lifetime, so many black people in the USA have been murdered by the police.
In our lifetimes, so many black people in Australia have been legally kidnapped.


Do I condone violent black revenge? No. 


But to call police murder “sad” but black revenge “terrorism” is not fair.


“For I, the LORD, love justice;
I hate robbery and wrongdoing. In my faithfulness I will reward my people and make an everlasting covenant with them. Isa 61:8


Mankind, He has told you what is good and what it is the LORD requires of you: to act justly, to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8 (HCSB)


No, he has told you what he wants, and this is all it is: to be fair, just, merciful, and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8 (TLB) 



The blood of Abel still cries out. Are we our black brothers' keepers? Yes, we are.
