Outcry – “Fight for those who can’t fight for themselves.”

Scripture:  Nehemiah 5:1-5

It seems that nothing really progresses forward until there is an outcry for justice and an absolute intolerance for usury.  I don’t think this means life will be “fair”.  Nothing will destroy unity more than someone who takes advantage of someone else.  How can we be change agents in our culture?  How can we look for injustice in our communities and be the ones who choose to bring love and care to the situation?  We must not allow the opportunity for personal gain outweigh the benefits of community advantage.  As a church we must always look to take care of one another in every aspect.

Watch Week 4 of Relaunch:  “Striving  For Unity” Here:

The more you love others, the more you leave your pride.  There is no place for pride when working on a high performance team.  The people are pulling together to rebuild the wall amidst the opposition, and they are learning how to be absolutely unified.  In order to strive for unity we must rely on the power of God, remain alert, and rally to the needs of others.
