Justice is bonded with love. I would say that a church that does not speak about Justice is one where the gospel of Jesus is foreign. All Justice manifests itself in the greater society. If the poor are treated badly in the society, then Justice is the kingdom of God is hidden. Yet the kingdom of God always bursts forward. Justice goes beyond the individual, beyond our culture to the very heart of God. When, in Gen. 1, God pronounces creation good, God performs an act of Justice. Justice is the act of validating existence. To practice justice is to ” encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.” (Isaiah 1.17) By drawing the word into a partisan debate, Glenn Beck reveals that he has no understanding of the word or the kingdom of God. Justice is beyond both Democrats and Republicans. Ernesto Tinajero
