Chapel begins
0Written by Dontevius Daniel
Jan. 22, Chaplain Rob Musick started chapel with announcements and asked if anybody had prayer requests. He also talked about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his history of being in the civil rights movement and being a pastor.
Next, Musick played a song called “Do Something” by Matthew West. The song talked about how people see injustice and are angry with the Lord, saying, “God break in.” Then, God says, “I am breaking in because I’m using you.” Musick said that sometimes we are the answer to our prayers, and he related that to King and for what he stood.
Afterward, Musick read from Amos 5:14-24, and focused on verse 21. Amos had seen a problem with the poor becoming poorer, the less becoming more forgotten, and God being unhappy about it.
Musick talked about how the time Amos lived is similar to today. He said that we live in a land where we have more prosperity than ever, but how many give back to the poor? It’s easy to ask about people’s lives or make judgments about people’s lives. Then, he asked what people are individually doing for justice. Musick said that students should be using their studies, which God has given, to strengthen and to make them better in order to bring justice and righteousness.
Finally, Musick ended with three things, and those are we have to have courage, speak up, and have proper worship by taking care of the poor and the less fortunate. All these things can help bring justice and righteousness. Then, he ended chapel with a prayer.
