Some passages of scripture preach for themselves. Last night the Old Testament lesson was from Isaiah.

Since scripture is meant to be heard more than read, I broke out the old podcasting mic:

Isaiah’s words to Israel 2,400 years ago are true now. We say that we are a Christian nation blessed by God, but do we?

• loose the bonds of injustice
• let the oppressed go free
• break every yoke
• share our bread with the hungry
• bring the homeless poor into our house
• when we see the naked, cover them

That’s what is acceptable, not this
