New Paradigm for God’s Justice

I am truly passionate about God's redemptive-restorative Justice! God is passionate about caring for the poor, the sick, the hungry, the new lepers of our society - the homeless, the unemployed, gays and lesbians, those at the bottom of our society and despised.

God is a Creator who Loves all of His Creation. God Loves ALL of His people; even the people we don't like or even hate. God is the God who leaves the ninety-nine to seek and to find the "one" that is "lost." God leaves "No ONE" behind!

Amazing Grace!

How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

was blind, but now I see....

God is full of Love and Grace for ALL of His peoples. Even the people who have done us harm. God patiently waits for our return to Him. God does NOT want "sin, guilt, self-loathing, mistakes - no matter how atrocious and heinous to separate us from God. God dearly wants to bring us BACK to a "Right Relationship" with God - This is "Salvation" and Salvation is NOW!

This "new Paradigm for God's Justice" BLOG is not a soft cozy place to be comfortable! This "New Paradigm for God's Justice" BLOG is to purposely make us uncomfortable; to challenge our Faith, to challenge our thinking, to encourage us to walk into deeper waters, to get out of our cozy "comfort zone," and "to do something!"

We are NOT called to be complacent, lethargic, luke-warm Christians! We are called to go out into the world, to "tell the 'Good News' of Jesus Christ," to make a difference! God does NOT place people in our paths for us to ignore and to walk-around like they do not exist. God puts people in our lives for a purpose!

Now that you know these things,

you are blessed if you do them.

Gospel of John 13:17

This "New Paradigm for God's Justice" BLOG is NOT going to be politically correct! In many respects you may disagree with what I am saying (no problem)... I am NOT trying to tell you what to think... but I am trying to make you think... to challenge your thinking. Sometimes we need to be able to defend our beliefs, (even if we only need to defend our beliefs to ourselves), to review, renew, and to reaffirm our beliefs.

We need to realize that our Faith, our Journey is a work still in progress. God, the Potter, is still molding and shaping us into a new creation. As our walk with God becomes a closer relationship with God, our thinking, our beliefs, our minds, our hearts are constantly challenged, and changing, g-r-o-w-i-n-g - growing closer to God.

I ask for your comments, but please if you disagree, please to be respectful in your replies.

Thank you,

Osten
