First up today, we have a voicemail from one of our listeners in South Africa.

Her name is Latibé.

So I've been thinking about social justice and just wondering what a Christian is meant to do with any societal ill.

At the top of my mind has been racial injustice. I live in a country, as is most countries, that has

the historical context backed up by just racial segregation. I don't want to get too lost into the

world and trying to fight societal ills through the world. I understand that man's biggest

problem is that they are sinners and the biggest problem is being right with a just God. But at

the same time, I'm trying to reconcile that and the commandment to speak for those who cannot speak

for themselves. Do I speak on it? Do I not speak on

it? In one context, do I speak on it? And to what end? Please help me think through this. Thanks.

Tibit, thank you so much for giving us a call. I love hearing from you. Your question is about social justice, and that phrase

is thrown around a lot. There's so much baggage associated with that phrase in conversations today

that can often get heated about politics and the social gospel and people being social justice

warriors. I think one of the problems is we can lose sight of the teaching of the Bible.
