Satan Is The Enemy! 

The division in our country has been carried out by us for years, but we are not the authors of division: Satan is. He is the one we should focus our fight against, NOT each other. 

From the beginning of his time, Satan has developed keen methods of division. He has come up with many different ways to get the nations and people of God to fight against each other. Arguably, the most prevalent is race. He wants us to see race as a divisive tool, not as a celebration of the beauty of God’s creation.

Through various types of racism - personally mediated racism, internalized racism, and institutionalized racism - the devil continues to peg us against each other. We must break that cycle, and with God’s help, we can. Join me in asking Him to help us come together, recognize our differences as opportunities to celebrate God’s creativity, learn about other people and cultures, and ultimately show the love of Christ to everyone we meet.
