“Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.” (Proverbs 29:18)
I’m at it again: tackling that ugly stronghold of racism in America. Exposing that stronghold that many are happy to ignore. Uncovering the systems that most unfortunately helped shape this nation. And dealing with that which the traditions of man use to make the Word of God of no effect.
This post contains a simple thesis, therefore I will not belabour the point by going on for 12 pages like I did in my last post. We’ve heard Donald J. Trump be accused of racism, of sexism, of mocking disabled people, of just being generally, well, vile in his descriptions of ideas, and we’ve heard him make comments that sound suspiciously fascist. But is that really who Trump is?
Okay, so I just watched Selma for the first time. (Yes, I know, I’m late. Please don’t chide me. Better late than never.) And this on the heels of recently watching the Book of Negroes Series, and Underground Series (the latter produced by Grammy award-winning singer and genius, John Legend), and it has me thinking.
We’re so grateful to all of you who were able to join us in prayer last night! We had a powerful time! My sisters Jessica Baker, Jenae McFarland, Charity Porter, and Gospel singer and Glam Camp for Girls founder, Melinda Watts joined me for this “shut-in” and boy did we pray! To be honest, I’ve NEVER heard my sis Jenae pray like that and we’ve been praying together for a LONG time! We’re so grateful to all of you who joined us for the entire time or even for a moment. And if you missed the call, then you can listen now! We know that there is no distance or time in prayer.
Despite some technical difficulties, we had an AMAZING time tonight. It was such an honour to have Cindy Jacob, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez, and Bishop Harry Jackson on The Round Table last night to discuss race relations in the Body of Christ in the nation. I would that more of us would risk being uncomfortable and unpopular to address the many grievances and wounds that have taken place in the black and brown communities over the decades and centuries. We cannot hope to properly deal with the issues if we were refuse to acknowledge them. Last night we chose to acknowledge them.
Some brilliant person somewhere is reading this and saying, “There is only one race: the human race!” You, my friend, would be right. And that is precisely why race matters.
We're continuing with Part II of our "Are Mormons Christians" post. In Part I, we covered the issues of deception as well as their promotion and worship of a Heavenly Mother a.k.a. Queen of Heaven. This post will deal will some harsher themes that are less easy to argue against so let's delve in!
