願わくは主がみ顔をあなたに向け、

あなたに平安を賜わるように」

Tony Evans on America’s racial crisis

Please read Tony Evans: America’s racial crisis is a result of the failure of the church to deal with racism from the Dallas Morning News. The evangelical church needs to speak up where it has been silent on injustice and racism.

Here are some quotes.

God wants to protect the life of the unborn in the womb, but He wants to see the justice of life once born, to the tomb. In other words, God wants a whole life agenda and not a term agenda.

This is a defining moment for us as citizens to decide whether we want to be one nation under God or a divided nation apart from God. If we don’t answer that question right and if we don’t answer it quickly, we won’t be much of a nation at all.

God doesn’t ride the backs of donkeys or elephants.

And we in the body of Christ must collectively call racism what it is: sin. Racism isn’t a bad habit. It isn’t a mistake. It is sin. The answer is not sociology, it’s theology.

And then, finally, we must challenge our civil leaders on all levels of government to be agents of healing and not division and to speak in such a way where unity is reinforced and not divisiveness. We must demand that the words that come out of their mouths and the way they say the words that come out of their mouths, be words of strength and kindness, not vitriol and meanness.

Dr. Tony Evans was my prof during seminary.

and through eternity I'll sing on!
