Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., not only as a Civil Rights leader but as a pastor who believed the Gospel must be lived, not merely preached.
Dr. King understood that faith without action is empty, and that silence in the face of injustice is never neutral. His life reminds us that righteousness requires courage, truth requires a voice, and love requires movement.
May we not only remember his words today, but allow them to examine us.
May we be counted among the good people who refuse silence and choose faith expressed through justice, mercy, and humility.
“Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
