“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice.”
Proverbs 31:8-9 NLT
Stand in the gap, Church. If our voices are silent, how then can the love of Christ be in us?
Who, then, can the world look to for an example?
Where will God’s kindness be found if not in the example of His people?
And remember, supporting the black lives matter movement, supporting our troops, supporting peaceful protest, and supporting our officers in blue are not mutually exclusive endeavors.
There is no hypocrisy in loving all people.
There is no hypocrisy in caring for all those who bear God’s image.
Don’t buy into that narrative.
Don’t fall into unnecessary conclusions.
Don’t believe the lie.
Stand in the gap.
Speak for the voiceless.
Seek justice for the oppressed.
