Campus Crusade Conference in Denver

At the Denver Christmas Conference in Denver, CO. One of the highlights of the year - every year. This morning Larry Martin from the International Justice Mission lit the place up with the pervasive power of God's passion for justice.

He gave a great perspective on a Christian's attitude toward justice using Jesus' feeding of the five thousand as an example of what Christ wants to do with the very little that we possess. We simply need to be willing to give that little we have to Him. An apropos illustration given that believers typically don't have any idea where to start when it comes to bringing justice to the oppressed.

Psalm 10:17-18

You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted;
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,

defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.




I hardly could hold it together this morning. Want to know why I'm following the Lord's calling into the Marine Corps? Now you have it.
