The Salvation Army's Social Justice Parade today could be summed up with Micah's words ~ "act justly... love mercy ...walk humbly with your God." A huge crowd gather at Federation Square to promote awareness of and foster action to cease contemporary social justice issues, such as human trafficking and sex slavery. The heat was on, in more ways than one!
The parade was also a great 'visual' opportunity for Salvos to not only voice their social justice concerns to the local community, but to actively promote our allegiance to Christ and witness to God's love at work in the wider world and our individual lives.
Micah 6:8 (MSG) ~ "It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love,And don't take yourself too seriously ~ take God seriously."
