Standing Up By Sitting Down


Like many of you, I have always been inspired by the life and story of Rosa Park. Ms. Parks passed away yesterday at the age of 92. Much has been written across the web about her life and importance. I will not add much to that discussion with a lengthy post here, but I will say that many more of us need her courage and uprightness in the face of the social ills that plague our world.

May God bless us with the strength to stand up!

I completely agree and only add this. Rosa Parks' desire for social justice was led by her faith in a JUST God! We need to find that JUST God in our lives, live out that kind of faith, rise up for Christ, and rise up for social justice. God can do it, we can help! (Sorry to steal a Home Depot phrase)
