We wait for light, but behold, dimness; for brightness, but we walk in darkness (Isaiah 59:4, 9).
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8 NAS).
Behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and act wisely, and shall do judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely. And this is His name by which He shall be called, Jehovah, Our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:5-6). Righteousness = "altogether just"

Connect With Other Abolitionists on Twitter
Around the world and around the corner, ordinary people are helping to abolish this form of modern-day slavery. You can be one of them.

"Most of the networking I've done has originated through Twitter. Phone calls, emails, [and] face-to-face meetings have all been arranged through this social networking tool that many people have deemed fun but without much merit."
