Gary Haugen on Christians’ Responsibility Against Injustice
Gary Haugen of the International Justice Mission was recently interviewed on episode 2 of the Fermi Podcast. He spoke of the injustice in the world, and how it tests the authenticity of the Christian faith. As he puts it, the world is watching Christians to see:
- Do they do what they say?
- Are they willing to take it to the place in the world where it is hard?
The world is watching to see if we are reaching out to those in need. It is easy to talk the talk in middle class suburbia, but the world is watching to see how we actually respond to the numerous crises our world is facing. Gary sums up Christians’ responsibility against injustice as:
We can point [hurting people] to God through the way we live because the way we live - what it is we believe - is going to be manifested by the way we actually act.
