Isaiah(58 1-12) I love Isaiah's passion and words....
-Shout out, do not hold back! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! Announce to my people their rebellion, to the house of Jacob their sins. yet day after day they seek me and delight to know my ways, as if they were a nation that practiced right- eousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgements, they delight to draw near to God. "Why do we fast, but you do not see? Why humble ourselves, but you do not notice? Look you serve your own interest on your fast day, and oppress all your workers. Look, you fast only to quareel and to fight and strike with a wicked fist. Such fasting as you do today will not make your voice heard on high.
(It's time that all progressive religious voices are heard...you can't sleep during this season. Resist and use your trumpet.)
