Amos 5:24

24 But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream!


Micah 6:8

8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.


Matthew Chapters 5-7
"The Sermon on the Mount"

Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them.

. . .


You will never hear any of this come out of the mouth of Trump, Kegbreath, Miller, any evangelical preacher, any TV preacher . . . or -- sadly -- any of the Five on the Supreme Court.
