Sharon Moles: THIS ARTICLE IS WELL WORTH THE READ. ITS WRITTEN FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A CHRISTIAN PASTOR AND A BLACK MAN. HIGHLIGHTED QUOTE--... And for many of those years, I blamed the system or the man. However, I have come to realize that it was no more the system when white cops pulled me over than it was the system when a black thug robbed me at gunpoint. It was sin! The men who robbed me were sinners. The cops who stopped me were sinners. They were not taking their cues from some script designed to keep me down. They were simply men who didn’t understand what it meant to treat others with the dignity and respect they deserve as image bearers of God. LATER, HE QUOTES THIS SCRIPTURE--But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil. (1 Pet. 3:15–17) AMEN!
