God has been teaching me as fast as I could absorb with this stubborn heart of mine. In another post I refered to Judas Iscariot as the first “social justice advocate” and the Freeper Jeff Chandler adopted that phrase as his tag line! It’s humbling really because the whole nasty business is revealed thru Iscariot’s character.

I was sitting in a church about 2 years ago when they showed a film where some clown, I wish I remember the name now, castigated properous Christian Americans for being...well prosperous. We weren’t giving enough, we weren’t caring enough. Several times this guy would say...”You Americans are so rich....followed by examples of how we had so many of these gadgets while the poor nations didn’t. There was snearing and satire in the man’s voice, not a loving exhortation to give “as the Lord would lead”. My entire “inside place” was in full rebellion to what I was hearing...the words sounded right but something was amiss.

I mean who is going to argue that giving to the poor is a bad thing, and even Christ exhorted that we should “give in secret so that the father who watches in secret will reward openly”. Then as Easter was then approaching I thought of the words of Judas when our Lord’s feet was being anointed with perfume and the whole scheme of some of the money hucksters and “social justice” church bashers just simply opened up to me...the psychology and what was at the root of the hearts of some of these “social justice folks” so besetting many of the churches today! And make no mistake, these people would betray the source of all Justice, Jesus, in the name of some tom fool notion of “social justice”, as seen from their pushing of churches towards apostacy, just as Judas did!
