The Gospel, Justice, and Racial Reconciliation

“Racial reconciliation is not fundamentally about us. It’s not about you. It’s not me. It’s about Christ. It’s for the glory of his name.” – Matthew Hall

We hope that you are taking time to pray for America and the crisis we find ourselves in at the moment. Read Jimmy’s blog post “5 Ways to Pray for America” and see some of the specific issues we urgently need to be praying over in light of justice and reconciliation.

If you have been given the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5), then are you seeking to live out the gospel in regards to racial reconciliation and justice?

The first step to that is to get resourced and educated about the issues, dynamics and hindrances to reconciliation and racial justice.

And that’s why Verge Network has created the Racial Justice Series for you. Over the next couple of weeks (it’s a work in progress), they’ll be adding more resources to this series, so be sure and check back frequently for updates.

Racial Justice Series:

Part 1 – Understanding the Problem

Part 2 – The Illusion of Progress

Part 3 – Growing in Racial Intellegence

Part 4 – A Plea for Unity (coming soon)

Part 5 – The Toxicity of Colorblindness (coming soon)
