“To follow Jesus by taking actions on behalf of the oppressed, the sick, the hungry, the poor, the incarcerated, the lonely, the disabled, the mentally ill, the mistreated, the war-torn, and the weak.”
The Christian Right on the other hand, has made it their mission to punish the poor on behalf of the wealthy. They have chosen war over peace, hate over love, believe in the death penalty, and believe the disabled are inferior. I believe the following Bible verse talks about both sides. I’m sure you’ll be able to tell which side is the righteous side.
Prov. 29:7. The righteous is concerned for the rights of the poor; the wicked does not understand such concern.
It’s pretty clear that the Christian Left is a righteous group that strives to improve the plight of the poor, while the Christian Right strives to steal from the poor so that the rich can be richer. Do you sometimes wonder exactly who is being robbed when the Right advocates against the poor? The answer comes to us straight out of the Bible itself.
Prov. 14:31. He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.
When the Christian Right turns their backs on the poor, they turn their backs on God. That’s not righteous at all.
the music is soothing .. the words, and the involvement of the audience, i could see, are sad to me .. not all on the left are saddened by the belief in that God though, are they ..
Disney feels a good spot for that particular song.
