Racism. A subject that immediately brings fear, pain, resistance, anger, division, hatred, bigotry, cowardice, vitriol, and violence.
I decry, I denounce, I personally condemn racism in any form or fashion no matter which group or individual it comes from!
This week is another reminder to those who believe racism is dead, that they are blind to the reality of it's presence, yet not just its presence, but its growth among a diversity of the American people! Antifa, BLM, KKK, Alt Right, and I could go on. Each of these groups, their actions, their ideology, their propaganda, and their motivations are cancerous, anti-American, and most importantly, anti-Christian and should vehemently be refutiated and countered with the Gospel and it's message of hope, love, mercy, grace, and change.
But, if we think this is the greatest injustice, the pinnacle of the hate in our hearts, the end of our humanity, then we are deceived, blind, and fooled which causes us to be hopeless, powerless, and apathetic against one of the greatest tragedies, atrocities, and crimes of war, unlike any the world has ever seen!
The Slaughter of the Most Innocent!
ABORTION
Genocide
We are witnessing in our great country this day the greatest act of genocide, a crime of war against God, the slaughter of the innocent, vulnerable, and helpless and we sit back and do absolutely nothing! We're willing to burn down buildings, topple statues, sling our fists for grown men and women who can defend themselves yet we sit idly by as millions of precious babies are murdered, butchered, and sold!
How can we as a society, as a culture, as a country be so surprised when racism rears its ugly head when, everyday, we're murdering babies, selling our daughters into the porn industry, selling our souls to the highest bidder, tarnishing the sanctity of marriage through divorce and homosexuality, disowning the orphan and widows, and engaging in every wicked thing under the sun and creating new ways to be evil! How are you surprised that this is where we have arrived? That Charlottesville is some anomaly? As if Boston, Furgeson, and Charleston are anything but expected? We must wake up, put on our spiritual armor and go to war!
The harsh reality is this, the greatest responsibility lies at the door of the church! We've been silent too long, slept as the enemy crept in too long, swept adultery, divorce, arrogance, pride, apathy, and whatever other sin you can think of under the rug of unity and now, well now, here we are!
If we're not going to fight for the least of these then we need not fight at all! We will be held accountable, we will receive judgement, we will be punished but it's not too late!
May today we as a nation, as a community, as a church, as a family, and as an individual vow to stand and fight against the great injustices of our day with the Sword of the Gospel as our tool!
