People standing in front of the shops, discussing the latest news and gossip. Small town folks just going about another typical day … when “they” appeared. Now … any ...read more

    The death of George Floyd brought the problem of racial injustice to the forefront again. Although there may be a need for police reform, the underlying problem goes deeper. What does God's word say about things like racism, prejudice and discrimination?

    RACISTS AND BIGOTS AND BIAS, OH MY! The death of George Floyd brought the problem of racial injustice to the front burner again.
