Speak
Acts 5:20
“Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people the full message of this new life.”
Go and tell. That was the Angels message.
It is always the message from heaven.
I often find myself on the other side of a table with a para-church organisation wanted partnership.
A lot of the social justice organisations have a Go and Give approach. Social justice will open doors for you to be anywhere in the world and though the original intention may be for the gospel to be known, the fear of reprisals means that social justice has become the central vision of the organisation not in faith but in practice.
Go and Give is not what the Angel commanded.
Social justice needs the gospel.
Take the gospel away from social justice and then no one needs to be a Christian.
Go and Give reaches the poor, lifts burdens off the needy and can release the imprisoned. It is good.
But how will anyone hear unless someone speaks.
