3. Amos 5:21-24 (MSG) 21-24 “I can’t stand your religious meetings. I’m fed up with your conferences and conventions. I want nothing to do with your religion projects, your pretentious slogans and goals. I’m sick of your fund-raising schemes, your public relations and image making. I’ve had all I can take of your noisy ego-music. 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.”

We are compelled by our faith to Prophetically Proclaim that the value of life & opportunity among our young men has greatly been diminished. For the next 90 days, we are calling ALL people of faith to have something to say about it!
