The Sojourners Among Us

Questions

“What’s the point?”

The focus of this blog is clearly displayed in the title, “The Sojourners Among Us.” In the Old Testament, the sojourners were those that were outside of the covenant, but were within Israel’s purview. In Deuteronomy 10:17-21, it becomes quite apparent that the people of God should value what God values; therefore, they are to love the sojourner. In today’s global society, the sojourners among us are many and I have decided to concentrate specifically on them. I will focus in on slavery and its causes and implications.

“Who’s it for?”

This blog is intended to be for other serious-minded Christians who want to think more critically about social issues. It should then press Christians to engage in thoughtful discussion of these issues and then to act upon these ideas. An overarching question for this entire blog will be, “As those who have been rescued out of darkness and given life in Jesus Christ, how do we think about and engage these social issues?”
