"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field" (Matthew 13:44)

Racism and The Church
The past Presidential election has shown that when it comes to voting many Americans allowed race to be the key factor in their decision. This should not have been the case for professing Christians but sadly it was. One thing that I have learned is that for some Americans there is a thin line between their loyalty to God and their loyalty to their race. I personally know many professing Christians that voted for Obama despite his views on gay marriage, abortion, Christianity, etc. The overall explanation that I've heard for Christians voting against their beliefs is that they wanted to see a black President. Now there are Christian organizations using racism as a means to get their agenda accomplished. Either your identity is in Christ or your race. I have resolved that Jesus alone is my savior not President Obama.
Grace & Peace
