I mostly agree.
However, we are no longer a communal society where we take care of our own. We are a world of cities, a world of corporations and profits. If completely unchecked, the powerful can dominate and oppress the powerless. Speaking for justice on a governmental level doesn't mean once must support policies that don't make sense or that turn charity into an obligatory matter (though the Bible certainly had obligatory governmental measures to care for the poor). It does mean to be a voice of justice on each issue, no matter the political grandstanding behind the issues.
