A Biblical Understanding of Justice for the Oppressed – Pastor Kempton Turner

“A great definition of justice is love in action… Real love takes action. Real love touches hurting people.” What does the Bible have to say about God’s heart for the oppressed? Is there instruction for how we should respond in the face of injustice? In Micah 6:8 we read, “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Today on the podcast, Crystal has invited Pastor Kempton Turner, minister at City of Joy Fellowship in East St. Louis, Illinois, to join her for a conversation about divine justice. What does it mean to act on behalf of those who are without a voice or a seat at the table? With national and global conversations focused on racial oppression, we must let the Word of God lead us. Listen as Pastor Kempton shares biblical examples of compassion and practical ways you can step outside of your comforts to demonstrate love in action to those who are hurting.
