Ep.72 Jesus and Social Justice #faith #socialjustice #love

Thanks for listening. I appreciate your support. Say hi and let me know you enjoyed the episode. Also, suggest topics for a future episode.

How do we embody the teachings of Jesus in our lives, especially in a world often divided by politics and differing lifestyles? This episode is a deep reflection on how the fruit of the spirit—love, patience, joy, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness—can manifest in our daily interactions and within our faith communities. We challenge the conventional boundaries of acceptance and inclusivity, urging listeners to contemplate the true essence of Christianity as a call to love and justice for all.

So, when Jesus always talked about how we show justice, how we demonstrate justice, how we demonstrate grace, how we demonstrate mercy, how we demonstrate this by having forgiveness, not retaliation.

00:00:13.823 --> 00:00:15.266
That the fruit of the spirit is.

00:00:15.266 --> 00:00:23.629
Watch this here we go love, patience, joy, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness.

00:00:23.629 --> 00:00:33.362
When you're listening to people in your service, how does your congregation ethos or the way that they demonstrate their faith and community speak to?

00:00:33.362 --> 00:00:36.009
Love, patience, kindness, forgiveness, forbearance?

00:00:36.009 --> 00:00:46.593
If you have people who can't come to your church because they're same, gender, loving, or because they have a different political viewpoint, or you want to stand up and say I'm Republican versus Democrat, how is that demonstrating self-control?

00:00:46.593 --> 00:00:48.546
How is that demonstrating gentleness?

00:00:48.546 --> 00:00:50.728
How is that demonstrating kindness?

00:00:50.728 --> 00:00:53.810
How is that demonstrating goodness for all people?

00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:56.749
It's important for us to get this concept down.

00:00:56.749 --> 00:01:00.906
How do we take the gospel of Jesus Christ and how do we live it out?

00:01:00.906 --> 00:01:04.322
How do we take the gospel of Jesus Christ and how do we live it out?

00:01:04.322 --> 00:01:06.150
How do we take the gospel of Jesus Christ and how do we live it out?

00:01:06.150 --> 00:01:08.117
Be faithful witnesses to what Jesus is calling us to do.

00:01:08.117 --> 00:01:09.305
I've been reading this book.

00:01:09.305 --> 00:01:16.251
It's called the Christian faith and social justice five views and by Vic McCracken, so you can.

00:01:16.251 --> 00:01:17.986
I'll have a link to that below.

00:01:17.986 --> 00:01:24.311
But yeah, I want you to guys to check that out and I want you to think about why is it that your churches are not catering to.
