Life = Fair? No.

The good things we do as the Church, we do as a result of our compulsion to love people as Christ loves us.  The social justice movement is all about fairly distributing stuff.  It always has been.  Trace it all the way back to the root ideas as espoused by Thomas Aquinas.

Should the Church being doing good in this world? Without question. But who defines what that good is? Or how it's done? Only God can define that or charge His people with carrying it out. James 1:27 and Isaiah 1:17 are great things for the believer to strive for, but as believers we read and interpret those passages through our regenerated souls. We should absolutely be trying to help people in any way we can as long as it does not contradict the Gospel. However, the rampant declarations of a great deal of social justice proponents today have little to do with doing good deeds as defined by the only document that can accurately define good deeds.

Today’s evangelists for social justice do not have the highest good on their hearts or minds.  For the last several years every time I hear, read about, or see social justice being proposed it is an attempt to promote it as good based on the tenets of equality and entitlement for all people, especially the have-nots, in every facet of life.  It is the ideological promotion of fairness across the board.  It is a pipe dream.

Life is not fair, and never will be.  For the secularist thinker life will never be fair no matter their station, provision, or vocation because there will always be someone who’s idea of fairness does not equate their own.  To the Christian I say life will never be fair because Christ died to spare us; both from what we deserve, and what we are entitled to.
