Biblical Justice

This is one part of my family’s story, my immigration story - a story that intersects with those of many others and is filled with both hope and hardship.

If passed, what would the effect of the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act be? How would we know? What should we know to responsibly lobby for or against it?

Responsible political advocacy must do more than offer only one side of a multi-sided issues, both as to facts and arguments.  Being "one-sided" cannot and will not result in justice for all, but rather intractable division.

To include someone is to intentionally pursue ways to make them feel welcomed, heard, and valued. We show the love of Jesus most when we actively include those who are marginalized and different.

I hope that God will see me living the gospel—making courageous decisions, sacrificing my comfort for others, giving when it hurts, and trusting God as the great provider to meet my needs and the needs of others. 

I decided to give up eating fruit and I decided to add reading theology from a different cultural context than my own. Why did I give up a food group that the Canadian food guide tells us that we need each day, you ask? 

We don’t know what we invite in when we open up our table. What we do know is that we have been called by a welcoming God. We know that we have been called by a God who just loves to reconcile—it’s his favorite work.

March is celebrated as Women's History Month. With this in mind, I wanted to share some books authored by women that have ignited my faith, moved me to action, and helped form my identity in Christ.

Sometimes it looks as though we, as North American Christians, are spending so much time writing, talking, and debating about justice issues that we do not have time to actually follow Jesus in seeking justice.
