Posts Tagged ‘God-established fairness’ Leaders violate a basic
principle of God-established fairness when they use their power
and influence to allow or practice injustice within their team.
Read Amos 5:7-17. Amos is sometimes called the angry prophet.
Often his words had an edge and expressed heated emotion. In
chapter five he condemns leaders who fail to provide justice for
the people of Israel. The leaders had abandoned morality, taxed
the poor for personal gain, took bribes, deprived the people of
justice in the courts, and they were so blinded by their own
power they didn’t even see their own corruption. The Bible
repeatedly states that God hates injustice, especially among
leaders who have the power and influence to model it for, and
make it a common practice among, all the people.
