one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Would you be able to affirm with anything like solid confidence that God “governs all things in heaven and in earth”? Aren’t there some things that chronic experience has taught us to exempt from the list of things God governs? Things like the state of the world, the state of the Church, the state of my house, the state of my head, the state of my health, or the thought that some difficult person might improve, etc.

On the topic of racism in America and in American churches, some things are debatable and some things aren’t.
Debatable: how pervasive racism is in American society and Christian churches. Not debatable: the fact that some individuals and groups do misvalue and mistreat people based on their race or ethnic background, even in gospel-preaching churches. Also not debatable: the issue continues to be a hot one in our culture.
Scripture has plenty to say against the thinking and behavior that underlies racism. But we’re not all well taught on the subject, and we’re not all as mindful of it as we ought to be. This article continues a look at biblical reasons to reject racism.
