I'm a Social Justice Christian because...

I came across an interesting video on Brian McLaren's blog today that deals with issues that I have been discussing with friends for a while and in my Sociology class while working on my undergrad. You can watch this video and Brian's response here. I feel that I need to respond to, so here is my response:

I'm a Social Justice Christian because I believe that the Gospel is more than just my individual salvation.

I'm a Social Justice Christian because Jesus said that whatever we do to the least of these, we do to him.

I'm a Social Justice Christian because God loves everyone.

I'm a Social Justice Christian because we are all created equal.

I'm a Social Justice Christian because discrimination of all kinds to more harm than good.

I'm a Social Justice Christian because I believe in the hope of resurrection.

If you are a Social Justice Christian too, I would like to know why?
