Justice

The blog Bloom! posted the following conversation starter on July 8, 2010:

"In light of this week's articles concerning ways which we can help to alleviate injustice in the world, do you have a particular outreach ministry which you admire and respect?"

At first, I did not know what outreach ministry to name. I don't follow many ministries focused on alleviating injustice. I primarily follow Ravi Zacharias International Ministries. Their motto is "Helping the Thinker Believe. Helping the Believer Think." The RZIM team travels the world giving a reasoned defense for the existence of God. Does this promote justice? Yes.

The Holocaust started with the intelligentsia. Friedrich Nietzsche said God was dead, and eventually men's actions conformed to their beliefs.

We must now restore the foundation of justice -- the belief that God exists. He created all men equal. He created us in His image, and we have value. Without that confidence, we will never have justice.
