12th Annual Outreach Resource of the Year (Social Justice) "Let us
not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap
a harvest if we do not give up." - Galatians 6:9 If you're working
to make the world a better place, you might find yourself
discouraged. Needs are overwhelming, resources are limited,
opposition is real and progress is slow. How do we persevere when
the novelty wears off and our enthusiasm runs out? We all want
change in the world. But as C. S. Lewis put it, we don't get second
things by placing them first; we get second things by keeping first
things first. As Christians, we don't just aim at change; we aim at
faithfulness, and out of faithfulness comes fruitfulness. Activist
Ben Lowe renews our mission with key postures and practices for
sustaining faithful social action. What makes social action
distinctively Christian includes such things as living out Jesus?
love, having a prophetic witness, building bridges with opponents,
repudiating idolatries, and practicing repentance and sabbath.
Moving beyond theory, Lowe showcases practical examples of what it
looks like to persevere in faithful activism and advocacy today.
Take heart. As you work for God, God is at work in you to keep your
hope alive.
