Let's Go Back to the Bible

It doesn’t have to be “a racial thing”

Friends, we are destroying ourselves. We are allowing outside influences to shape our thinking. We are giving others too much control over our minds. We are listening to politicians and media tell us that everything has some kind of “racial overtone.” But, it doesn’t! And it doesn’t have to! 2019-09-25-It-doesnt-have-to-be-a-racial-thing

Every issue does not have a racial slant. Every post doesn’t need a racial flavor. If everything is “a racial thing” to you, that is because you are making it that way–not because it actually is.

Are you a child of God? We need to see things the way our Father sees things. “God shows no partiality” (Acts 10:34). None! God is ready to “accept” persons from “every nation” or every nationality (10:35)! So should (and must!) we! Our Father commands us to not look at others “with partiality” (Jas. 2:1; cf. Deut. 1:17). He then goes on to say that “if you show partiality, you are committing sin” (2:9). SIN! It doesn’t matter what someone else says, does or looks like! If you are prejudiced against ANY person because of their race, YOU SIN! If you read that and apply it to others but not to yourself, you sin! Please, let’s stop destroying ourselves!
