It’s hard to go a few minutes on social media or the news without noticing a post or story concerning race relations these days. It’s always good to be aware, but we must learn to make a habit of researching movements and organizations that might feel good on the surface—but under slight discernment are rotten to the core. We are told in the Bible to be wise, and social situations are surely no exception. My friend Bethany Bomberger and I are talking about Black Lives Matter and how it fits when looked at through the lens of God’s Word. Listen in. It’s an important discussion!

Listen in! I think you’ll be encouraged.

We are at a place where we need to do some soul searching in our country. We are having to talk about things that we don’t like to talk about as we are in the middle of a grab for power and control of a narrative like I’ve never seen before. When we stand up against the narrative being pushed by the media and the radical left, we see division in our churches, families, and our closest communities. This agenda is unearthing issues that we need to deal with for sure, but they are not the issues the radical left thinks we need to correct. We can not sacrifice truth on the altar of misguided mercy or be shamed into thinking we are in sin when we are not.
