Biblical Perspectives on Race – God Made Us All In His Image

The following is a respectfully proposed 10 lesson syllabus to replace CRT (Critical Race Theory). One verse per lesson. Can we teach this to our kids in school starting when they are very young? Why not? If you agree, pass it around. It’s not that hard to get the message across. All men (and women) are created equal. We are all brothers and sisters. Verses from KJV. Genesis 1:26-27: And God said, “let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”. So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. Acts 17:26: And He hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation. Malachi 2:10: Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? 1 John 2:11: But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. Mark 12:31: And the second is like, namely this, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Philippians 2:3-4: Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Leviticus 19:33-34: And if a stranger (immigrant?) sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. 1 John 3:15-16: Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 4:19-21: We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also. Rev 7:9: After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands.

Be Careful What You “Consume”

From Bill—What are you consuming? —Daniel 1:8 (KJV) “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” —This world is more troubled by far than it has been. We can make this claim because of pervasive social media, biased media outlets, a largely Godless culture, and forces of all kinds working against biblical values. It takes real work to stay on track, like Daniel and his friends did. You cannot consume too much of the world, and remain a light unto it. We are called to be light in this dark world. We must be careful that we are not consumed by the darkness! Think of the lighthouse that would guide the ships to safety in the storms of life! We are to be a lighthouse to bring people to Jesus! Let’s shine! Love Mel

We Are More Than Conquerors Because He Lives in Us

Rom 8:37 (KJV)In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. 1 Cor 15:57 Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2Cor 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, & maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. 2 Cor 4:6-7 (KJV)For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, & not of us. — Did you get that? We are filled with Him, that being treasure within each of us! Don’t you just love it! Love Mel
