What does God require?

This is what is recorded in the Old Testament by the prophet Micah,
"No, O people,  the Lord has told you what is good,
and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy, 
and walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8 (New Living Translation)

  
Do these words shape my behavior? 
My faith propels me to put my faith in Jesus into action. Vital to a vibrant growing faith...faithful church attendance, Bible study, prayer, and service.  How can I serve outside my church?.  Our pastor encouraged us to become involved in a justice ministry.  Christians in our community will be working to address the following issues: 

  • working to help cap payday loan fees from 400% to 36% APR
  • working to help families have access to Affordable Housing
  • Restoration Justice

I love this quote:
"The pearl of justice is found in the heart of mercy." Catherine of Siena
