The Very Stones Will Cry Out!

All churches accept the Commandment Thou Shalt Not Kill, not to mention Thou Shalt Not Steal. And how about Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness? Yet one organization does these things routinely, on a large scale, and quite openly. That organization, of course, is government, and churches seem to turn a blind eye.

How To Help Low-Wage Workers
