Race Relations in America: A Christian Guide to Unite Christians in the Faith (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781696469241)

Learn the Truth about Race Relations in America and Unite as Christians before it's to Late . . . .If you claim that you are not aware of the deep and jagged rift in society called 'racial tension' you are either lying or living in LaLa Land-no disrespect intended. I say this because it is impossible to hear and see the world realistically without knowing that racial tension is a real thing. The mistrust and hostility between people groups is tangible-and sadly, I mean that in the most literal sense of the word. We didn't 'invent' the concept. God did when He destined Ishmael's and Esau's descendants to forever be in contention with everyone else. (Genesis 16 and 27)The fact that God allowed the 'birth' of hostility between races...even set it into motion...can be confusing. It can even seem contradictory to everything else we know about God-but it isn't. God cannot contradict Himself and He cannot and does not make mistakes. REMEMBER: just because we don't understand something doesn't mean it is wrong. God's treatment of and pronouncements on Ishmael and Esau are a) disciplinary and b) part of God's plan to deal with the sins of the world and of his chosen people. Besides, when it comes right down to it, who can possibly fully know the mind of God? (Romans 11:34) Why would we even try? The point to be made here is that racial tensions and hostilities exist and always will, because sin exists. But just as it is with every other kind of sin, as Christians we need to resist the sin of racism (which is nothing more than hate) and work to come together as best we can...which brings me to the purpose of this book. Within the pages of this book you will find Biblical and more modern-day narratives of racial problems along with the lessons we should learn from them; lessons that will make us more like Jesus by loving others as we love ourselves and as Jesus loves us.We will be starting with one of the earliest incidents of racial hostility and move forward to the world we live in. In doing so, my hope and prayer is that you will use these experiences to inspire and challenge you to do your part in unifying the Body of Christ in Faith through the Blood of Jesus Christ.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Ham, Ishmael & EsauChapter 2: From Slave to RulerChapter 3: PerspectiveChapter 4: Not Our CallChapter 5: BEWAREChapter 6: Civil War?Chapter 7: Genocide & DemocideChapter 8: The DreamChapter 9: One More Look BackChapter 10: Think About It
