Mark Conner, Senior Minister of CityLife Church, a diverse community of Christ-followers meeting in multiple locations in Melbourne, has a deep passion for God’s justice. In one of Mark’s blog articles (Justice Trumps Spices), he reflects on the call to love God and love others:

“One of the great challenges in our generation is the dilution of the Gospel that Jesus taught to merely an individualist salvation – you and me having our sins forgiven and going to heaven when we die. True, that IS an important part of the good news that Jesus came to preach BUT it is not the entire package. The Gospel is about personal salvation but it is also about the coming of the kingdom of God into our world – right here, right now. The church is to be the visible demonstration of God’s kingdom in the world. That includes being God’s instruments of justice and mercy in our world.”
