    I really enjoyed 'upon this political party I will build my church'. It was a nice reminder that a political party should not be our hill to die on, but rather that Jesus and our salvation in Him should unite us with other believers, despite differing political views.

    The Elaine Massacre: The Bloodiest Race Riot in American History
    - I have been reading and learning a lot in the last few weeks to educate myself and enter in to true bridge building not just a spectator on the sidelines. I appreciated your last comments especially, on what we can learn from this...know history and do not repeat these atrocities...get out of our “ethnic bubbles” and
    “do life together”...”learning to more perfectly love our neighbor”.

    I linked your The Past is Prologue post---I think it sets the stage well for the rest of your writing on race and ethnic issues. If we don't deal with that past, we will never see the future that is better.

Some Personal Reflections on the 50th Anniversary of Dr. King's Death

          Today is the 50 th anniversary of the tragic death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As you likely know, on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee, Dr. King was standing on the balcony outside of Room 306 at the Lorraine Motel. At 6:01 p.m., James Earl Ray shot a bullet at King from the window of a nearby boarding house, cutting short the life of a man who had labored tirelessly for thirteen years to draw attention to racism and ethnic disparity.             When I first heard this horrible account as an elementary student in the small Midwestern town where I grew up, I had no context by which to understand these events. I had no idea where Memphis was located, and did not understand the reason why someone would hate Dr. King so much that he wanted to silence him (by the way, Ray failed miserably in his attempt to silence King). Three decades later, I now know Memphis quite well because I’ve lived in...

The Unique Ministry Opportunities of Multiethnic Christians

As discussed in previous blog posts, Timothy, the apostle Paul’s disciple, enjoyed a wide variety of ministry opportunities because he was half Greek and half Jewish. In order to proclaim the gospel to people who did not believe that Jesus is the Messiah, and to train Christians who needed to learn more about the faith, he undoubtedly drew on both aspects of his heritage in order to reach people from both sides of his family tree. In the New Testament, Timothy is one of the premier   examples of a multiethnic Christian who used wisely his multicultural skills in ministry. For this reason, Timothy is an excellent example for multiethnic Christians in the 21 st century who wish to use their multiethnic skills for the glory of Christ.             In the first place, multiethnic people tend to be able to maneuver well between various cultures. One young woman described this ability: “You pick and choose parts of your own cultur...
