What We Think Of Christ Influences Our Thinking And Controls Our Actions.

Jesus Was Not A White Man; He Was Not A Black Man. He Came From That Part Of The World That Touches Africa And Asia And Europe. Christianity Is Not A White Man's Religion And Don't Let Anybody Ever Tell You That It's White Or Black. Christ Belongs To All People; He Belongs To The Whole World.

Behind The Love Of God Lies His Imniscience - His Ability To "know And Understand All." . . . At All Times, Even In The Midst Of Any Type Of Suffering, I Can Realize That He Knows, Loves, Watches, Understands, And, More Than That, He Has A Purpose.

God Did Not Create The Strife Between Races, Nor Did He Intend For It To Be That Way. Strife Between Races And Ethnic Groups Comes From Sin-and Sin Resides In The Human Heart.
