Social justice, although laudable in it's purpose, is merely window dressing to the soul and spirit.

Do we give a man food, and ignore his eternal state? Jesus was our first example of right thinking and right actions. Social justice in His day would have been an overthrow of the Roman government. He chose to die on the Cross for our eternal redemption instead. Even He stated that we would always have the poor with us. And it's important to be compassionate toward those who are less fortunate...but it was a poor man in the bosom of Abraham, not a social justice advocate. God never meant that we, as Christians, should seek to eradicate poverty, or illiteracy, or prejudice. He knew that there would always be sin in the world. He did intend that we preach the gospel to any who would hear, and if we do that as we fill a plate, or give immunizations, or teach a reading class, so much the better...as long as we are preaching, and not merely thinking that these actions alone serve as spreading the gospel.
