DIVERSITY IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL!!!

In light of what took place in Dallas July 8^th, and now in Baton Rouge, I wanted to share this special sermon I heard from the pastor of Bethel Church this past Sunday in response to the violence going on against not only the police, but others. This is an issue that we all need to address, and do so soon, before it’s too late. My prayer in this is that we examine our hearts, and repent of the sinful attitudes we have towards those of different races, cultures, etc. and learn to respect others. Most of all, ask God to speak to you through this, and PLEASE listen to this with a willing heart and an open mind.

WOW!! Talk about convicting!! Before I close this post, I want to issue the same challenge Pastor Rob gave, to everyone reading this, and I encourage you put this challenge into action not just this week, but EVERY DAY!!!

CHALLENGE: 

This week, pray more for the racial problem than you talk or post about it 

This week, ONLY use social media to promote unity, grace, mercy & love. NOTHING ELSE. Be part of the solution, not the problem. 

While you’re out and about, take time to speak with someone who is different from you, and get their take on the things that have taken place this week, and IF permitted to do so,  take “usies” showing diversity, then post with the hashtags below
