How We Are to Act – v2

Before Christ’s coming

God already teaching

sharing with us how

How we are to act

God’s message in Isaiah

in calling us to witness

to stand in the waters

to be a light to the nations

Offering hope

a connection to the eternal

Love from our lips

and joy in our actions

God with us

calling us to witness

to offer Christ to the world

that all would be healed

“changing the wind”

http://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2007/12/changing-wind.html

Based on the comments of Jim Wallis on

Speaking of Faith, November 29, 2007

http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/jimwallis/index.shtml

He was talking about whether to change politicians

or change the wind, to change the public opinion

which guides politics. He used the example

of President Johnson’s statement to the

Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. that it would

take 5 years for a voting rights bill but

it actually took 5 months to pass the Voting Rights Act,

after the March in Selma.
