Some Resources to Help You Think Through the Events in Charlottesville, VA
Disturbed. Saddened. Outraged. These words describe most of our thoughts about the racist uprising in Charlottesville, VA over the weekend.
The elevating of one man’s race over another is an affront of the very design of man – that we are all made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27). It also offends the very group of people Jesus died for – all peoples of all nations (Galatians 3:28; Revelation 5). It also is murder (Matthew 5:21-26; I John 3:15).
Most Christians I know of believe racism is a sin, but many of us don’t know how to think through events like we have seen in our country in recent years in regards to the sin of racism.
Below are 4 articles I have read the last few days that have helped me deal with the issues in my heart and reminded me of my role as a spokesman of God for all peoples.
