Christian Reflection and Prayer

Verse

 

But let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Amos 5:24

 

Voice

 

If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties
must become ecumenical rather than sectional.
Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe,
our class, and our nation; and this means we
must develop a world perspective.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

Prayer

 

As we honor the legacy of Dr. King, and the work
of people involved in the Civil Rights Movement,
bless us with the wisdom you bestowed upon them.

This is the season of Holy Resistance:  resistance
against white nationalism, misogyny, Islamophobia;
resistance against false news and spectacle;
resistance against the lie that America is the
greatest when fears the stranger, deports the
foreigner, and only protects the interests of those
of wealth and power.  And as Christians who take
Jesus at His word when He says, Whatever you do
unto the least of these, you do unto me," our holy
resistance extends to the church when it endorses
such lies or stands quietly on the side.

 

I WANT TO RESIST AS A DISCIPLE OF A
NONVIOLENT  REDEEMER AND LIBERATOR,
I WANT TO BE NON VIOLENT!

 Ephesians 6:12

    12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against
 the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places
