I saw a homeless man on a corner in West Lafayette today, I did nothing. I had eaten a huge lunch at Arby's not a half hour before that and then drove home to my beautiful family and more than adequate house.
For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness;
The upright will behold His face.
Such a great verse, but wait for it, that word righteousness should be the word "justice." Those who walk in this upright way will behold His face. "Walk upright" looks back to those who live in the way of Jesus, in justice.
The implications for this are huge if we walk in justice. Spurgeon said, "It is not only his office to defend it, but his nature to love it. He would deny himself if he did not defend the just.
In what ways am I looking to bring justice to this world? In what ways do I ignore justice?

great post man! Hey, we need to get together for lunch or something soon. I have something I want to run by you. It has to do with speaking at a fall retreat for OSM in late October. Let me know what date could work out for you.
