James 2:8-9 (NLT)

 FROM TODAY’S READING (12/1/2020)...

“The closer the people of all races get to Christ and His cross, the closer they will get to one another.” 

Billy Graham


“Racism isn’t a bad habit. It isn’t a mistake. It is sin. The answer is not sociology, it’s theology.” 

Tony Evans


‭‭James‬ ‭2:8-9‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Yes indeed, it is good when you obey the royal law as found in the Scriptures: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin. You are guilty of breaking the law.

‭‭

Galatians 3:28 (NLT) There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.

‭‭

Philippians 2:3-4 (NLT) Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
