End Racism

Freedom isn’t just political—it’s spiritual. See how Scripture shows that your dignity and worth are rooted in something far more powerful than human opinion.

In this article, I’ll share some of Dr. King’s most powerful quotes—words that still speak to us today—and explore practical ways we can use them as a guide to celebrate his legacy and make a difference in the world.

Christians should celebrate Juneteenth because it is the anniversary of the day when our fellow brothers and sisters were finally set free. This beautiful holiday can show how far we have come in seeking unity.

Juneteenth was first proclaimed June 19, 1865, when previous slaves in Galveston, Texas, were declared free. This day not only represented independence and political liberty, but a new way of life.

Perhaps King, of anyone in America, had the greatest impact and influence on not only African Americans but on all Americans and throughout the world. This is why Americans of all colors should honor him and affirm their own commitment to fighting for equality and justice.

While Dr. King is well-known for being a civil rights activist, he was first a minister and his faith served as the foundation for his commitment to achieving social justice for all.

It is a daily challenge to keep my heart soft and attuned to God’s heart toward the oppressed, the unfortunate, the marginalized, and in this particular case those who are ethnically and racially not like me.

Be inspired by these glimpses into the lives of Seven Christian Black women motivated by the truth of Scripture to impact change in the church and society.

We all long for justice, and we can all tell that the world is not a just place. But should we leave justice up to God, or seek to achieve it ourselves?

If you’ve endured multiple cases of offensive behavior because someone racially stereotyped you, it’s possible for deep hurt to develop over time. Yet, as though oblivious to our feelings, Jesus instructs us to love our enemies (Matthew 5:44). How are we supposed to pull this off? Here are five recommendations.

We can thank God for the accountability rendered in this case. Even as we are glad for justice done, we should weep for injustices still at work, and for a life that is still gone.

Complex pain and complicated topics, like racial reconciliation, require more than quick fixes. But they also demand that we refuse to ignore the issue.

Our responses to the events of 2020 will impact our children's faith. Not only do we want to be a good witness to a watching world, but we want to be a good representative of our Lord to our watching children.

If we want to start bringing heaven to Earth now, we need to be people who usher diversity into our lives and speak out against racism. Here are some great questions to get started in your small group.
