this is sin
Wednesday January 30th, 1 Corinthians 12:
God put our bodies together in such a way that even the parts that
seem the least important are valuable. 25 He did this to make all parts of the
body work together smoothly, with each part caring about the others. 26 If one
part of our body hurts, we hurt all over. If one part of our body is honored,
the whole body will be happy. A
society is to be judged by how we treat the least among us. We have the largest rate of incarceration in
the world. More than 5.6
million Americans are in prison or have served time there, according to a
report by the Justice Department. That's 1 in 37 adults living in the United
States, the highest incarceration level in the world. That should tell us that we are doing
something wrong. The distribution of
wealth in this country has shifted from a slope to an āLā shape. No longer do 30% own 70% of the wealth, but 5%
own almost 90% of the wealth and the top 1/10th of 1% owns the vast
majority of that; calls the shots, makes the laws by paying the lobbyists who
write them for the legislators who are too busy raising money, from this same
group, to get reelected. By not caring for the least, lost and lonely, we are
destroying ourselves from the inside out.
A very few are smiling about it all the way to the bank. This is not what God intended. This is sin.
