God is For the Poor

“God is for the poor – the oppressed, the widow and the orphan – and he is for humanity in our collective poverty, our ultimate powerlessness in the face of sin and death. But he makes known his redemptive purposes for us through both the powerless and the powerful, using both to accomplish his purposes. When God acts in culture, he uses both the powerful and the powerless alongside one another rather than using one against the other.”

– Andy Crouch, Culture Making
