Romans 1:20
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

Psalm 8:1,3-4
O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?

Jeff Bezos (after a recent Blue Origin flight)
The most profound piece of it for me was looking out at the Earth, and looking at the Earth’s atmosphere … Every astronaut, everybody who’s been up in space, they say this, that it changes them. They look at it and they’re kind of amazed and awestruck by the Earth and its beauty, but also by its fragility, and I can vouch for that.

Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

Romans 1:25
… because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

Jeremiah 21:12
O house of David! Thus says the Lord:
“‘Execute justice in the morning,
and deliver from the hand of the oppressor
him who has been robbed,
lest my wrath go forth like fire,
and burn with none to quench it,
because of your evil deeds.’”

Jeremiah 5:30–31
An appalling and horrible thing
has happened in the land:
the prophets prophesy falsely,
and the priests rule at their direction;
my people love to have it so,
but what will you do when the end comes?

Mark 6:34
When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

Jeremiah 3:15
And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.

Thaddeus Willams
Justice has been defined for millennia as giving others what is due them.

Thaddeus Willams
What no one seems to be talking about—though it is at the bedrock of all other injustice—is worship. Theistic justice—bowing down to something that is worth bowing down to—is not a justice issue; it is the justice issue from which all other justice blooms.

Revelation 11:15
Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”
