Peace and justice


Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you (2 Corinthians 13:11; NLT).

Peace and justice
Are not rationed:
We can grow them
Anywhere!

All it takes
Is love and wisdom!
All it takes
Is being fair!

So, let’s always
Welcome strangers,
Offer help,
And show our care.

Peace and justice
Are not rationed:
So, let’s spread them
Everywhere!

Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it (Psalm 34:14; NIV).

Love good, and establish justice (Amos 5:15; ESV).

Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked (Luke 6:35; NLT).

Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven. Give, and you will receive.

The amount you give will determine the amount you get back (Luke 6:37-8; NLT).

His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen! (Isaiah 9:2, 4-7; NLT).

Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you (Luke 6:30-31; NIV).
