A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.
From Amos 5:23-24: “Take away from me the noise of your songs; I will not listen to the melody of your harps. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.”
Amen! Great quote. We are called to stand up for truth.

Great post. I think, given that you know my current situation, that you know I’m pretty pro-justice at this point. However, I’ve also seen a tremendous amount of harm caused by a rush to justice and not considering all facts. Justice also has to be tempered with wisdom and discernment. 😉

Your thoughts about justice are well-taken. Sometimes other voices want to rush to justice outside of the courtroom. I sincerely hope your house situation works out 100% in your favor.
