Honoring Others by Peter Park

Something that I feel the Korean culture does very well is honoring their elders. There is an expectation, as a younger person, where your job is to be their servant and value who they are. And that means having them sit down first during meals, bringing their meals to them, listening to their advice, etc.

Love My Neighbor as Myself?

Christians are commanded to love their neighbor as themselves. There is no man that I may pre-judge as superior to or worse than myself based on clothing, vehicle, home, ethnicity, criminal record, # of children out of wedlock, bad hygiene, bad attitude, religion or social group, etc. Prejudice is not the character of Christ that I am called to imitate. It is the characteristic of the world.

Minimizing stereotypes by developing new relationships

When we’re trying to build the multicultural church, we need the help of other people. The days of working in our office alone are over. I used to spend two hours or so getting songs ready for Sunday. Now it takes me anywhere from 2-4 weeks because I need to lean on those relationships with people from other ethnicities.

Racial Tension in School by Tiffany Moncrief

“After sharing such powerful history and thought provoking words, students were silent except for one young man, who quietly expressed to the children in his close vicinity, “I wish we still had slaves. That would make my life a whole lot easier.””

The Fallout of the ‘Deadly Viper’ by Edward Gilbreath

“In case you hadn’t heard, Zondervan made a major announcement yesterday regarding the Deadly Viper Character Assassins book that was the source of so much anger and controversy recently. Effective immediately, Zondervan undertook the courageous step of permanently removing all the books from stores and discontinuing all related curriculum and products. Quite a bold gesture, and a remarkable example of repentance. Hopefully, the pain and high emotion of the past few weeks can now give way to true healing and reconciliation.”

The Future Is Now! by Mark DeYmaz

“Failure on the part of Christian leaders to recognize the changing demographic landscape or to adapt – both personally and corporately – in accordance with Scripture will soon render their work or, worse yet, their message irrelevant. For as I have previously written, there are already signs that increasing numbers of people are no longer finding credible the message that God loves all people as preached from segregated pulpits and pews. Indeed, those without Christ are no longer responding simply to the words of our lips; rather, they will respond only to the love of God they see in us; love that is daily displayed in a genuine, personal love for all people in His name.”

The gospel and the church is for everyone

This time in my life really forced me to think about how barriers don’t seem to be an issue during a worship concert, especially when someone popular comes to town. But, then, why do we accept the fact that we have to return to our denominationally/racially divided congregations. Why can’t we continue to worship together?
