As we have studied, racism is one of the ultimate enemies of mankind, and is of the character that is most basically opposed to the heart and ways of God. Racial conflict was also the first thing the Lord mentioned when He was asked about the signs of the end of the age. Therefore, those who are truly aligned with God and His purposes at the end must be free of this most basic enemy of the purposes of God.
For this reason I want to take this week to apply some practical ways to become free of the...

This week we continue our theme about how the Great Commission was to “...make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19). As discussed, the “nations” here represents ethnic groups, not political entities.
So how do we recognize nations? How do we baptize them? How do we teach them to observe all that He commanded us? In Acts 17:26-28 the apostle Paul says:
and He made from one, every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times, and the boundaries... -

Even so, these principles could relate to any people.
From the time I was a child, I have heard blacks stereotyped by such statements as “they don’t like to work,” or “their men are all deadbeats and do not know...

The Great Commission was to "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,” not just individuals, “baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you...” (Matthew 28:18-19). I would never want to negate or belittle in any way the importance of the gospel of personal salvation, or how crucial it is to our calling to seek and lead individuals to the Lord for a personal encounter, personal repentance, and a personal walk...

We have been studying how racism will play a major part in the last days, as the Lord indicated in Matthew 24:7: "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” As we studied, the Greek word translated “nation” in this verse is ethnos from which we derive our English word “ethnic.” This is speaking of ethnic conflicts being one of the major signs of the end times. We also examined some of the roots of this most tragic evil, and how we must be free of...
