Why does the term "social justice" divide so many?
The term "social justice" has become a politically charged term that divides Christians, especially Protestants.
Evangelicals accuse mainline Protestants of sacrificing bedrock biblical beliefs to achieve cultural goals; mainline Protestants respond that the best way to demonstrate Christ's love is to meet people's physical and social needs.
In the middle of this debate stands The Salvation Army.
This week's Bible passage: Micah 6:6-8
