“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”.

Many churches are allergic to change
Our Lord is doing Great Things—
The language of the church is often the language of division
Too often, we feel that we are better than the rest
Too often, our language is the medium of division
Ironically, the language of Jesus was about correction
Because error crept into the first century—
Jesus did cause division
However, He corrected their (religious leaders) language
Today, He is also correcting our language as well

Jesus did not hesitate to call the religious leaders, hypocrites
He called them blind leaders and the reality is that much of
The New Testament was written to correct error that had
Already crept into the Church in the first century!

Paul was very strict in his defence of the Gospel
John the Baptist preached repentance and correction—
Many people only want to focus on the positive things
That Jesus did and as a result they ignore the fact that
A large part of Jesus ministry was about correction—
The Jews were obsessed with the concept of ‘election’
However, the reality is that they needed ‘correction’

The Jews were allergic to change in the first century
Despite the fact that Elohim was doing Great Things
Too often, we feel that we are better than the rest
Too often, our language is the medium of division—
In the end, our language should be division for provision
