Justice, as a concept, is all the rage these days and whenever someone wants to stick another word in front of that word, Christians should be a little sceptical, to say the least. There's social justice, racial justice, gender justice, environmental justice and economical … [Read more...] about Justice Warriors

Neighbours - Sermo Humilis

So there's this lawyer in Luke 10:25, an expert of the law in Israel, who asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life.
