Civil Rights

  CivilRights










Galatians 3:26-29


You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.




Many, yet all too few, have given themselves to securing the freedom and equal standing we enjoy today. Some recognized Christ and worshiped him as God. Others did not. But God used all of them to accomplish his work so far in this area.


You're invited to take a moment and pray with me. Really. Take just a minute right now and pray. Let's thank God for loving us enough to send people to lead us away from our own bigotry and hatred. And let's ask him to complete that work in our hearts, teaching us to love sacrificially in the same way that Jesus did.


-Paeter Frandsen
