RACISM can only be changed when people's hearts are changed. The way
to heart change is through Jesus. The way to Jesus is through followers
of Christ telling and living out the message of the gospel in our
community.
There is no doubt that racism exists in and out of
the Christian church. How can we overcome? Rev. Billy Graham nails it on
the head for us as the Christian. Racism is sin. Period.
Here are some prayer points for this week:
1. Pray about whether the sin of racism clouds your view of who people are and the stereotypes we put on others here in Montgomery. Look at their hearts instead of their skin color. And if their hearts are in need of the Savior, show them how to know him.
2. Pray for ALL Christian churches to take stands when they see something wrong with how people treat each other.
3. Pray that you and I will see others we meet each day as creations of God, fully and wholly acceptable in His sight. The color of our skin is precious to the Lord. He created us. He doesn't make the wrong decisions in how He created us.
4. Pray for cleansing of believers hearts so that we can share God's love in ways that seem impossible.
