This episode of Do Justice features Dean Dettloff, Research and Advocacy Officer for Development and Peace, discussing the Jubilee 2025 campaign to turn debt into hope. Building on the successful Jubilee 2000, Dean explains why systemic changes to the global financial architecture are needed to address persistent debt crises in the Global South. He highlights the power of ecumenical collaboration and grassroots movements in achieving justice and inspiring hope."The real success story was not getting the ear of those folks, but getting the ear of thousands of Canadians, who did manage to succeed."More information and petition: https://kairoscanada.org/jubilee-2025-canadaTranscript: https://www.crcna.org/do-justice/unjust-debt-unpacking-global-financial-system

Unfair treatment. Unjust criticism. Undeserved suffering. These experiences test our character and reveal our true spiritual condition. In this powerful message from 1 Peter, Pastor John Munro explores how our Lord Jesus provides the perfect example for believers facing trials.

Welcome to another episode in the “Prison Pulpit” series on the Fight Laugh Feast network’s China Compass podcast! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben, still trying to get settled here in Malaysia. Follow and/or message me on Twitter/X (@chinaadventures) where I post (among other things) daily reminders to pray for China.You can also email me @ bfwesten at gmail dot com. Lastly, to learn more about our ministry endeavors or get one of my missionary biographies, visit PrayGiveGo.us! Why did I begin this weekly Prison Pulpit series? To remind us all to pray for persecuted pastors and believers (such as Pastor Wang Yi) as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do (“as bound with them”), by sharing from his own published writings in China, as well as more prison stories and sermons from others like the late Richard Wurmbrand. Today we’re going to deviate a little bit from China and talk about the ongoing persecution of Christians in Iran. Believe it or not, I just got access to my show’s analytics, and I happened to notice that we have a handful of downloads from Iran of all places.

God has your best interest in mind. God's plan is for His glory and for your good. As Pastor Ricky teaches us today, God is about wholeness and restoration. The application from our scripture lesson is timely and relevant. Pastor Ricky reminds us that we might be confused with all of the bad things going on, and it seems to continue, and many seem to get away with it, so we're tempted to wonder, where is the justice? Habakkuk shows us that God is in charge. He hasn't lost control. He's not overwhelmed. He is big enough for what we're facing.

This week, Elissa Bjeletich Davis and Kristina Wenger talk about the unjust steward. It's bad to be unrighteous, right? Does God always want you to be honest and exact -- or would He rather see some mercy?

God's ways are higher than our ways. How many times have we found that to be true? As Pastor Ricky teaches us today, God uses unlikely people even an unfaithful country to bring about His plan. What can really be confusing is when justice doesn't seem to come fast enough. Pastor Ricky reminds us that even though we might feel that God isn't bringing about justice swiftly enough, or harsh enough, His ways are still higher and better than ours. We'll understand better one day but for now, we just have to trust Him.

There is a wonderful verse in the Bible, 1 Peter 3:18 - "For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God". Yes, Christ has suffered the momentous judgment of God against sin, opening the way for repentant sinners to avail of God's great gift of salvation. In this week's message, Phil Coulson looks at some Old Testament illustrations and then applies this principle of judgment to what happened in its ultimate extreme on the cross when Christ suffered to put away sin. 

Was the sacrifice of Jesus unjust? Is common ancestry true? And what will happen when Jesus returns? This week, Frank kicks off the episode by tackling a BIG question about the implications of Jesus' death and resurrection, and it only gets more interesting from there! As he responds to questions sent in by listeners he'll also answer questions like:What is preterism and why doesn't the Bible tell us when Jesus is returning?Does regeneration come before faith?How can tough marriages glorify God and is incompatibility a good reason to get divorced?Why doesn't God ensure that all people will become Christians?What is irreducible complexity and is it inconsistent with the atheistic worldview?How are digital distractions drawing us away from God?Do you have a question for Frank?

In Part 2 of the conversation with Dr. Justin Reed about his new book The Injustice of Noah's Curse, we focus on the "presumption of Canaanite guilt" and what kind of influence that has on interpreters. How can we learn to ask better questions of the text? This is yet another example of why it is so important to study the Bible with people who bring different lenses to their study! Dr. Reed helps us explore the broader implications of these interpretations for understanding compassion, justice, and morality in ancient texts, highlighting the dynamic and often ironic narratives within Genesis.Read more about Dr. Justin Reed HEREExplore many of his online resources HEREContact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.Join Cyndi Parker's  Patreon Team!

Richard Wurmbrand: Once again, we are going to turn to the late Richard Wurmbrand to speak to us on behalf of those of the persecuted church who are currently being imprisoned and tortured for Christ. For those who don't know who Richard Wurmband is, here's a brief intro: Lutheran minister in Romania. 14 years in prison, including 3 in solitary confinement. After “escaping”, published ”Tortured for Christ" in the 1960s and testified to Congress. Helped start Voice of the Martyrs (but his son Michael doesn’t trust VOM). Michael Wurmbrand’s VOM letter: https://www.billionbibles.com/michael-wurmbrand-vom.html Michael Wurmbrand’s ministry (free books!): https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/ Sermons in Solitary Confinement Most likely published in the early 1970s, just a few years after he fled from Communist Romania… Read the book for yourself: https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/pdfs/ssc-english.pdf Today we look at portions from the first sermon in the collection, God’s Unjust Laws: Here's the portion about lying that I discussed a little more in depth... "Thou shalt not bear false witness” is a law for the man who has no reason to lie, or perhaps is not even able to do so, not having the slightest imagination; it is also for me, who has to answer the Communist interrogator. If I tell him the truth, as he asks me, appealing to my Christian obligation, many other arrests will follow. Rahab, after having hid the two Israelite spies, lied, saying that she did not know where they came from or where they had gone. Did she do wrong? I remember that Spurgeon preached on this subject, and said that he had often tried to put himself in Rahab's place. Supposing he had hidden some persecuted Protestants and was asked by the authorities if they were in his house. What would his answer have been? It is known that he was very strict against lying. We had to lie in the Nazi times, too. So I was interested to read what he said: "I have tried to imagine what I would say, and have never yet been able to make up my mind ••• I have more light than Rahab, and certainly I have had more leisure to consider the case, and yet I do not see my way. I am not sure whether Rahab's lie was not more honest and outspoken than many an evasion which has suggested itself to very clever people." I have often quoted his words to brethren who were worried about having to lie to oppressing authorities. Spurgeon could not make up his mind. I have made up mine. I lie to the Communist examining officers, and I must say I do it with delight. Here is the link to Richard Wurmband’s longer prison book, In God's Underground: https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/pdfs/IGU-english.pdf My little book Unbeaten tells the story of my arrest, interrogation, and deportation from China in 2018.
