Bible Verse of The Day – 5-2-16

Galatians 3:28 (NKJV) 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

In Christ, skin color doesn’t matter.

In Christ, nationality doesn’t matter.

In Christ, ethnicity doesn’t matter.

As followers of Christ, it’s time that we put away prejudice. It’s time that we put away hatred toward those of another race or nationality. It’s time that we love our brothers and sisters, regardless of their heritage or their family tree.

God loves us in spite of our shortcomings. He loves us in spite of our sin. He loves us in spite of our ignorance and stubborn pride.

So, as believers, we need to do the same for others. We need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, loving the people that God brings into our lives.

There’s no room for bigotry, prejudice or anything similar in the body of Christ!

1 Corinthians 13:11 (NKJV) 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-21-14

John 13:35 (NKJV) 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

We are to love one another.

Jesus commanded us to do so. We are to show the love of God to those around us, believer and non-believer.

Love disarms evil. It melts hardened hearts. It brings unity where there was division. And it draws people to God, instead of repelling them and pushing them away.

Proverbs 10:12 (NKJV) 12 Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins.

Love crosses international borders. It crosses cultural barriers. And love doesn’t see a person’s race or skin color.

We were all created equal by God Himself. It doesn’t mater where we’re from or what ethnicity we are. God expects us to love one another.

Skin color is just that; color.

It doesn’t, and shouldn’t, make us who we are. It should not dictate our preferences for friends, social status or political allegiance.

The color of our skin should not be something that we look at apart from the word of God. We are to love each other without ever looking at the color of someone’s skin.

Do you have racial prejudice inside you? Even just a tiny bit? Does the color of a person’s skin cause you to think of them a certain way, or do you simply see them through the eyes of God and love them?

This is a hard question and a very tough topic. But God wants it addressed.

So we ask you to let God examine your heart and show you if it is truly unbiased or if you’re harboring any kind of racism in it?

Love one another, regardless of the color of one’s skin.

By this the world will know that you are His disciples, if you have love for one another.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-10-13

(Galatians 6:15 NKJV)  For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.

When we are “in Christ”, it doesn’t matter if we’re white, black, Asian, Indian, Malaysian, Hispanic, Filipino or any other race, color or ethnic background. It doesn’t matter if we’re rich, poor or somewhere in between.

When we are in Christ, we are a new creation, period. Our spiritual condition is not changed by our heritage, our family background or our ethnicity. Once we have been born again, we are just that… born again!

What we have done in our past is now washed away by the blood of Jesus. God has no concerns where we are from or who our parents are. He doesn’t stop and do a background check on us to see if we’re worthy of salvation!

As believers… followers of Christ, we NEED to set aside racial preferences. We NEED to put away discrimination, regardless of who it is against. We NEED to stop disrespecting people because of where they are from OR preferring them because of their color, race or ethnic background.

Racism is not of God. PERIOD. Racism flies in the face of our creator and mocks the One who died for us, insinuating that His death was only for a certain few “chosen” people.

If we are true followers of Christ we will NEVER let race, skin color, ethnic background or anything similar change our minds about anyone.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-4-12

(Gal 3:28 NKJV)  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Have you ever encountered racial prejudice? I live in an area of the world where racial prejudice isn’t a major thing. That’s not to say that it doesn’t happen, but it doesn’t happen to a very large degree.

Some areas of the world are worse than others. And regardless of whether it’s a small amount of prejudice or a big amount, it’s still prejudice and it’s very wrong.

Sadly, prejudice isn’t restricted to unbelieving people. There is racial prejudice INSIDE the body of Christ. This is a sin against God. He has created each and every one of us, regardless of what color our skin is or what nationality we are. If we are believers then we are all one in Christ.

There are no exceptions. God’s word is very plain about this. So if you still struggle with being prejudice against people because of the color of their skin or their racial heritage, I want to encourage you today to get before God and repent. Ask Him to forgive you and to give you a new heart for people of other races.

Don’t favor one race over another… ever. We are all created in God’s image and Jesus Christ died for the black man, the white man and the Arabian man just as much as He died for the Turkish man, the Asian man or the Jamaican man.

Love God’s people just as God loves you!
