How do we respond as Christians to theinjustice? We must allow the Spirit and His Scripture be our guide:

“Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression.” Isaiah 1:17
“Be angry and do not sin.” Ephesians 4:26
“Blessed are the peacemakers.” Matthew 5:9
“Weep with those who weep.” Romans 12:15
“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3
“Do not repay anyone evil for evil.” Romans 12:17
“For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and wrongdoing.” Isaiah 61:8
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:21
“Act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8
“From one man he made all the nations.” Acts 17:26
“I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.” Revelation 7:9
“You, Lord, are a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know Your name trust You, O Lord, because You have never deserted those who seek Your help.” Psalm 9:9-10

We grieve. We unite. We listen. We pray. We love. We seek justice. We seek peace. We condemn murder. We need Jesus in our brokenness. We need the Holy Spirit for comfort and healing. We must humble ourselves, pray, seek the Lord, turn from wickedness, and ask the Lord to hear us, forgive our sins, and heal our land.
