A Solution to Equality

 

Outside of the Covid pandemic the most disturbing subject our nation and world are wrestling with is equality.

Our nation tried to get it right in the beginning with legal documents declaring equality for all, but in practice we failed miserably. Through the years laws and constitutional amendments endeavored to correct the injustice, but again we still fall short.

There is a solution. One that could make a huge difference. It is recognizing God’s Word and applying it.

Galatians 3:28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Colossians 3:11: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

A long-standing Christian couple (Mike and Jane Tomberlin) that have been and remain pillars of the Church in North Carolina said it best:

“The world is still trying to work out equality for all; but I know when I walk into a Bible-believing church, that it is the only place where the idea of equality reigns. Want equality? Find a church that believes the scripture, honors the ascended Christ and the in-dwelling of the holy spirit, and you are the closest you will ever get to a prejudice-free place on God’s earth.”

Agape,

Bob
