Issues Covered In Christian Social Justice Blog

By Mattie Knight


Bloggers have given a lot of attention to different issues affecting populations around the world. However, there is something unique about Christian social justice blog in its coverage of the same issues. It seeks to provide a theological reflection of the same issues with a heavy inclination toward biblical and theological teachings. These blogs are mainly under the direction of religious scholars, organizations and churches across continents.

Governance and democracy are issues of concern in different corners of the world. Government formation and inclusion as well as policies with direct impact on populations find their way into these blogs. The aim is to push governments to initiate policies that make the lives of citizens better. The election cycles are monitored to shield voters from abusive governance and manipulation.

The environment has taken center stage over the past decade as populations bear the blunt of selfish degradation. Climate change has had devastating effects on populations and ecosystems. This has prompted bloggers to take on the issue and push governments and policy guiders to factor-in climate change in their debates. The aim is to ensure that individuals in authority come up with policies that minimize environmental degradation and therefore guarantee sustainable development.

Economic management by governments has a direct impact on the lives of populations. Citizens will have an easy or hard time depending on the economic policies being implemented. Some policy proposals forwarded are abusive and degrade the quality of life of a silent majority. It is upon the organizations to ensure that these policies are highlighted in an independent manner to ensure that they do not have a devastating effect on populations.

Violence has become a daily endeavor with conflicts and the sound of guns forming a constant news item. There is a quick succession and alternation of border, ethnic and religious conflicts in different corners of this world. Bloggers have taken it upon themselves to pinpoint the issues and provide suggestions on how such conflicts can be resolved. They also highlight the plight of an innocent majority in these conflicts.

Health is at the heart of every religious organization. With many diseases and afflictions affecting populations, bloggers have taken it upon themselves to enlighten the masses on pertinent health matters. They point at ways of ensuring that the masses achieve good health with the intervention of governments, private sector and religious institutions. The blogs cover health issues from a professional perspective and with the aim of developing an all-rounded Christian.

Advances in technology have transformed the world tremendously. There are inventions with the capability of transforming the lives of individuals in a flash. Other inventions can wipe out humanity in the blink of an eye. As such social justice bloggers track these developments to ensure that such inventions are not abused and to enable people to take maximum advantage of technology.

Social justice platforms under Christians and related organizations provide a reflective, independent, professional and detailed coverage of different issues. They provide a scriptural grounding to align their work with theological perspectives existing in the world. The involvement of experts and credible professionals ensures that the information shared is factual and based on reliable research.
