Hi! and happy holy and family day to all of us, GUYS. Our first-thing-first this Sunday:
THE GOOD NEWS (05 February 2017)
"Fast by sharing your food with the hungry,
bring to your house the homeless,
clothe the man you see naked
and do not turn away from your own kin.
Then will your light break forth as the dawn
and your healing come in a flash.
Your righteousness will be your vanguard,
the Glory of YAHWEH your rearguard.
Then you will call and YAHWEH will answer,
you will cry and HE will say, I AM here.
If you remove from your midst the yoke,
the clenched fist and the wicked word,
if you share your food with the hungry
and give relief to the oppressed,
then your light will be like noon.
- Isaiah 58:7-10
It is not enough to be converted to GOD "from the heart," for conversion comes about by changing both persons and structures. These make us share in the injustices and sins of the society in which we live. An incredible number of sins - corruption, prostitution, violence - are linked to colonialism and the economic and cultural dependence that go with it.
Sharing your food with the hungry: and that on a world scale for human kind is one, the only Adam of whom CHRIST is the head.
Your light will break forth as the dawn. We see the leaders of the nations come together, discuss and study in order to solve the urgent problems of humanity. No light breaks forth. It is a known fact that the research of a scientist does not bring him directly to great discoveries. Rather, he often finds the solution suddenly where he did not expect it. In the same way, human problems resist theoretical solutions, but unexpected ways will be found when every nation and every segment of society willingly shares and no longer oppresses others.)
