As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
“Within the pressure-cooker of the Coronavirus pandemic we continue scraping at the festering wound of sinful racism. My heart breaks for my fellow black neighbors and for every police officer out there.” - Cameron Pollock
Lord, sometimes an injustice is so grievous that even the inattentive pay attention. Our nation is reeling at the merciless death of George Floyd. If that were not enough, it is tragic that so many have dishonored this man’s death by their rioting and looting, thus providing ammunition for the enemies of racial equality. More people have died or been injured because of such abuses, multiplying further injustices to business owners, by-standers, or peaceful protestors. Fighting injustice with further and greater injustice displaces addressing the real issue.
“This is one of the short videos I recorded for my church, which I’ve been doing daily since the COVID lockdown started. I recorded it before I knew about the rioting and looting in protest of the death of George Floyd. I had received questions from my flock about whether Christians may, or even should, protest police brutality, considering Romans 13 tells us to submit to government.” - Clint Archer
“Estimates of 20,000 people gathered for an event called “Alive from New York” that was designed by Focus on the Family to celebrate the sanctity of human life in response to New York state’s radical new abortion law that allows abortion of viable babies right up until the moment of birth.” - BPNews
