Enough is enough!

Mathew 7 12

We resolve this and other issues by following the example Jesus gave to us in the parable of the Good Samaritan: to be a good neighbour to all people. A person's ethnicity, cultural background, education or financial status was never a stumbling block to Jesus who loved and cared for everyone he met. All people are valuable and deserving of our utmost respect since they are made in the image of God.

God created this world for all of us to enjoy it and share what we have with others. It was never part of God's plan for resources and opportunities to be hoarded by some at the expense of others.

He desires much more for our lives than for us to simply live in peace with one another. We were created for fellowship with Him. We were meant to become sons and daughters of God, and also to be brothers and sisters to one another.

The international issue of racial prejudice is a problem that has been,more brought,to public attention because of the death of George Froyd,who died when a policeman kept his knee on his neck and he could not breathe. What is tha answer to racial prejudice?

Get off of the Merry-go-round of 'The system is broken so we will destroy', vs 'Fall in line, this is all we got' wherein both recoil over the reminder of us turning our backs on God, even defend the choice to allow others to fall away. Saying, clergy can't get it together, why should we?

But didn't Jesus guard this resorting to, saying,

By this will all men know you are my desciples if you have love for one another.

What do all men know at this day and time?

So this is who I blame, every last deliberate and devise work

Look at the difference of mindset in American culture from what we have today, ,


Point being granting attention to 'pass over' or sail into that love of God!

I think back to Rosa Parks,who decided 'enough is enough',when on a bus she was asked to give up her seat to a white person because she was black She refused and was arrested. All people are equal,but not all have been treated equally!

I believe Rosa knew there was enough reason out in the world to remain defiant. But the tensions back then would renounce what is going on today, with willing followers of such demonic teachings as 'Whites are born racist.'

All people must respect all people whatever their skin colour or background! We pray for racial harmony and all being treated equally.

500,000 have gathered at a major city to hear from the religious community, and this is what we should say? Isn't it fair to say this has been the Church's position for decades? Today, they feel their anger justifies refusing any motion of goodwill. So the effectiveness of that appeal falls entirely on God's intervention to turn back the destruction, theft, thuggery and death. Should we remain content God will answer soon while another courthouse burns to the ground?

Oh, I'm not saying he couldn't do that even if the whole world had taken part, but I suggest we put their approach into context. A painfully easy context, for what is it they are demanding now when they demand for us to just sit their and take it, 'We decide what information will be forwarded now!' Really?

Just what are they basing this all on QB? They have run-up pinning reasons of racism so far, it is using anything it wants with immunity because they think they now can get away with it.

But isn't it time for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to call their bluff? And the brethren had better get this right as though we were the flock of God's children.

What bluff? Because, when they throw it into the ring and state they know what condition the heart of opposition is made of, they are rising up against the Prince of justice whom has no equal. It is so small to them to trifle the 'gift of discerning of spirits', but how does that sit with God for whom they also feel they are representing?

The Evangelical Alliance has issued this statement: "Let us stand together as brothers and sisters in Christ,as we cry out for justice,as we stand with those suffering oppression,as we were with those grieving and in pain. We all have responsibility to act against discrimination and systemic racism in our workplace,churches,justice systems and wider communities. We cannot view them as white Vs black. This is a clarion call for us to come together and fight every form of racism on all its' disgusting manifestations. As the church we must reach across all ethnicities in saying and showing church all are created equal. All people bear God's image'

I could almost cringe at the ruthlessness this fails to address! Historical News outlets won't show this concertedness in its full unveiling.

What does this mean, is it related or unrelated to the end result of our Rom-13 tax dollar?

In the name of Jesus unite Your Church to the work You sent Jesus to introduce.

We could certainly use that. Not saying He isn't already in various places equipping, empowering. But that mettle of 'one accord' must surface to the point of Jesus' context, "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
