Act justly

What are we supposed to do?
​
One of the first steps we can take toward justice is to help meet people's physical needs. 

Sometimes when we think about justice, all we think about is meeting physical needs. But justice is so much more than just giving people clothes, or money, or food. Justice can mean giving the gift of relationships to others, or it can mean receiving the gift of relationships from someone else, or leveraging our relationships for justice work.

While so much can be done for justice on through one-on-one interactions, local projects, and short-term initiatives, fighting for justice often requires a much deeper dive into the systemic, deeply rooted issues that cause injustice on a large scale. 

Question of the Day: How are you going to act justly this week? Challenge yourself to pick one thing from the list and do it this week. 

Discussion Questions:
  • What's one way you could fight injustice by meeting a physical need? 
  • What's one way you could fight injustice with a relationship?
  • What one example of a systemic injustice that you would like to learn more about?
  • How can we help each other act more justly?
  • What's one way you're going to "act justly" this week?
