Justice In Action

He has told you, O mortal, 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?

- Micah 6:8

Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.

- Psalm 82:3

Learn to do good; seek justice; rescue the oppressed; defend the orphan; plead for the widow.

- Isaiah 1:17

Mercy and justice

"We seek to live lovingly and justly as servants of Jesus Christ by healing the sick, feeding the hungry, caring for the stranger, freeing the oppressed, being a compassionate presence, and working to develop social structures that are consistent with the gospel.” -United Methodist statement on mission and ministry

Mercy = helping those with immediate needs.

Justice = ensuring the human rights and dignity of all.
