Quotes:
“I truly believe Christians are in the best position for the fight against societal injustice b/c we have what the world needs. The gospel & an allegiance that is not first “right” or “left” but ABOVE. What if our only bias was righteousness? Would revival not come?” -KB
“Hopelessness is the enemy of justice.” -Bryan Stevenson
He sat there, his head still bowed in his hands, tears burning his eyes. But then he felt something—a presence, a stirring in himself. And it seemed that an inner voice was speaking to him with quiet assurance: “Martin Luther, stand up for righteousness. Stand up for justice. Stand up for truth. And, lo, I will be with you, even unto the end of the world.” He saw lightning flash. He heard thunder roar. It was the voice of Jesus telling him still to fight on. And “he promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone. No, never alone, No, never alone. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone . . .” -from Let the Trumpet Sound: A Life of Martin Luther King, Jr
