Christ Above Culture - Sherard Burns - Bog

Help to realize God's vision for racial harmony-without erasing the differences that make you an indispensable member of the body of Christ! What if racial harmony weren't merely pie-in-the-sky rhetoric but a visible reality in our churches? Imagine the impact the gospel could have in the world if followers of Christ demonstrated the power of His love to overcome long-standing cultural divisions and join together people of all nations for His glory! Sherard Burns is founder and president of Renewing Our Culture for Christ as well as the executive director of Believers Bible College and Seminary. Examining the lives and writings of theologians and other prominent figures throughout American history and in the Scriptures, Burns gets to the root of racial tensions and exclusion. He presents the gospel-centered path toward racial harmony and shows why it is the duty and joy of Christians to walk it. In this book, you'll learn: -Why racial harmony is basic Christianity, and why avoiding or resisting it denies the truth and power of the gospel -Why it's wrong to say that we need to be color-blind -Why the world's solutions are ultimately ineffective and theology needs to be in the driver's seat -How the miracle motif can make matters worse -How, why, and what different races need to remember and to forget -Why we need to practice incarnation and heavenly humility -Why God-like love should hurt NOW is the time to break the cycle of exclusion and division.
