2. Being a mouthpiece for Truth and Justice

4. Nahum 3:1 New International Version (NIV)
1 Woe to the city of blood,
    full of lies,
full of plunder,
    never without victims!
Nahum 3:1 New International Version (NIV)

5. Psalm 15:1-4 The Message (MSG)
1 God, who gets invited
    to dinner at your place?
How do we get on your guest list?
2 “Walk straight,
    act right,
        tell the truth.
3-4 “Don’t hurt your friend,
    don’t blame your neighbour;
        despise the despicable.

6. Amos 2:6-7 New Life Version (NLV)
6 The Lord says, “For three sins of Israel and for four, I will not hold back punishment. They sell those who are right and good for money. To get shoes, they sell people who are in need. 7 They crush those who are poor in the dust of the earth with their feet. They push the poor out of the way. A man and his father go to the same girl and sin against My holy name.

7. Amos 5:22-24 The Message (MSG)
22-24 When was the last time you sang to me?
Do you know what I want?
    I want justice—oceans of it.
I want fairness—rivers of it.
    That’s what I want. That’s all I want.

8. God hates the exploitation of the poor
God hates lies
God loves the truth
God hates the exploitation of the poor
God loves generosity and justice

10. Standing up for ‘right living’ and ‘fair dealings’

11. Philippians 2:1-4 The Message (MSG)
1-4 If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favour: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.

12. Change can happen, and good change is worth pursuing
