Fellow Labourers-
Was it Martin Luther King who said "Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere?" This also brings to mind the words of Alexander Hamilton-"The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty words. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself, and can never be erased."
Rosa Parks was defiant in spite of the threats. Martin Luther King saw the struggle as a divine call. Who among us feel the urge to stand up because you know you are called? I sense in my spirit that we are called to build, not just buildings but people. The words of Haggai the prophet are in my mouth. "Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the Lord's house should be built. Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying, Is it time for you to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste?" (Haggai 1:2-4)
"The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts." (Haggai 2:9)
Pax Vobiscum
