"IF MY PEOPLE, WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN AND FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND HEAL THEIR LAND." II Chronicles 7:14
Our nation was founded by CHRISTIANS, for CHRISTIANS. Our laws were established in the thoughts and intents of the WORD of GOD. Were our founding fathers perfect men? They absolutely were not. However, they, as do sinful men today, were open to the leading of our perfect GOD and in time, they and those who came after them, sought to resolve the wrongs in our nation.
The most glaring "wrong" to besmirch the history of these UNITED STATES
is the institution of slavery. That appalling evil traces its roots to
the muslim slave traders whose human trafficking began in antiquity and
continues today.
Because of the CHRISTIAN conscience of our country, the diabolical practice was overcome here through the Civil War and through subsequent legislation. Are we perfect men today? We absolutely are not.
Where our founders and those who followed them sought to overturn the outward manifestation of the evil of slavery, we must seek to overturn the inward manifestation of the evil of racism, bigotry, hatred that exist in the hearts of men.
Each of us must begin by allowing our own heart to be washed clean of sin by the shed blood of JESUS, for only HE can transform a hateful, racist, bigot into a godly follower of CHRIST who loves all mankind.
The propitiatory life, death, and resurrection of JESUS was not for the white race or the black race or the yellow race or the red race--HIS PROPITIATORY LIFE, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION WAS FOR THE HUMAN RACE.
You say you love JESUS...then love those for whom HE DIED.

Our God is bigger than the hate in this world!!
