Rev. Dr. Mae Elise Cannon gives the chapel address during John Brown University’s Spiritual Renewal Week. Cannon says, “God has not put His call on your life in a way that it is unattainable but rather God is inviting you not only into relationship with Him but into obedience with Him. And the choice that He has set before you is a profound one. A choice between life and death, blessings and curses.”
When social justice is fully expressed, we have a small glimpse of God’s kingdom being manifested on the earth. These moments are cause for great joy and celebration! We rejoice in the assurance that one day every tear will be wiped from the eyes of those who are hurting. There will be no more death, mourning, crying or pain – for the old order of things will have passed away (Rev 21:4) and the kingdom of God will be here. The joy of the social justice life provides opportunity to celebrate and worship – acknowledging the character and nature of God – that He is good! Dr. Mae Elise Cannon spoke at the 2015 Apprentice Institute National Conference
