To all members of the community
served by Lincoln Christian Church—
Lincoln Christian Church abhors and rejects all
forms of racism, discrimination, and hate!
You may have thought that racism is not a relevant
topic for Lincoln. But just recently, hundreds of
peacefully protesting people marched up McLean
Street past our church campus to address racism. The
Lincoln community has struggled with divisive race
issues. Some have been victims. Some have been
guilty of racism, occasionally without even
realizing it. What happened to George Floyd in
Minneapolis was a sin! We share the outrage! Lincoln
Christian Church stands with our Lord against
racism!
Lincoln Christian Church must be salt and light in
our community to bring about real change. Several
scriptures guide our convictions:
|
“For He himself is our peace, who has
made the two groups one and has destroyed the
barrier, the dividing wall of hostility.” Ephesians
2:14
“Then Peter replied, I see very clearly that God
doesn’t show partiality. In every nation he accepts
those who fear him and do what is right.” Acts
10:34-35
“But if you show favoritism, you commit sin and are
convicted by the law as lawbreakers.” James 2:9
“If someone says, ‘I love God,’ but hates his
brother or sister, that person is a liar; and the
love of God is not in Him.” I John 4:20
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I
have loved you, so you must love one another. By
this everyone will know that you are my disciples,
if you love one another.” John 13:34-35
