"If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor,
he too will cry out and not be answered" (Proverbs 21:13, NIV).

Let Justice Roll
"But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream" (Amos 5:24, NIV).
Bob and Sarah Logsdon share a story about one of our families in the Contact Church of Christ as they were trying to purchase a used car that they had saved for quite some time to buy. My emotions swing from grief to anger for them. Please read their story at http://urbanlogfamily.blogspot.com/2008/01/buying-car-in-hood.html.
On another note (but still dealing with injustice in our world), please scroll down to my post on January 6 about the ethnic violence in Kenya. Erik Tryggestad has updated his report for the Christian Chronicle. You may read the updated report using the same link that I placed on my blog on Sunday. Kenya needs our prayers and the churches need our help. Please keep praying for the people of Kenya.

Ethnic Violence in Kenya
Since its presidential election a few days ago, Kenya has been in turmoil. Ethnic violence has been compared to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. People are losing their lives because they belong to the "wrong" ethnic group.
The Christian Chronicle has an online story about the violence. I am proud of the members of the Churches of Christ who are risking their lives to protect fellow citizens from the violence, despite ethnic differences. However, we need to pray for the peace of Kenya. The situation could get worse before it gets better. Please pray for Kenya.
The report may be read at http://www.christianchronicle.org/article887~Kenyan_church_members_injured,_displaced_after_post-election_violence
