On April 11, 2021, the world witnessed another unarmed black man killed at the hands of law enforcement. As the raw realities of ongoing societal injustice, unrest, and pain relentlessly flash across our screens, we are reminded of the Apostle Paul’s words of admonition and encouragement to the Corinthian church. They ring as true today as they did more than 2,000 years ago.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we cannot play it safe or stand idly by. We must be bold and courageous to take up the cross of Christ and go and do likewise.
Beginning Friday, April 16, at 11 a.m. CT, and over the next few days, we at Strengthening the Black Church for the 21st Century (SBC21), Native American Comprehensive Plan (NACP), Discipleship Ministries, and The Upper Room will be offering Facebook Live events and other resources that can help equip and strengthen us for the journey.
