Black Lives Matter

The Grand Juries have spoken, and the protests go on. You've seen the pictures, and you've heard the slogans:

"BLACK LIVES MATTER"

No, I disagree with how this statement is framed.
LIVES matter, but adjectives do not.

Here is what I mean:

Lives matter, because God says they matter.

All men and women everywhere, from every nation and ethnic group are created in the image of God, created to have a loving, personal, eternal relationship with their Creator God. There is only one race: the HUMAN race. You knew this, right?

"And (God) hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:" 

Acts 17:26-27

Consider this: 

"Every human being in the world is classified as Homo sapiens. Scientists today agree that there is really only one biological race of humans. Geneticists have found that if we were to take any two people from anywhere in the world, the basic genetic differences between these two people would typically be around 0.2 percent,1 even if they came from the same people group.2 “Racial” characteristics account for only about 6 percent of this 0.2 percent variation. That means that the “racial” genetic variation between human beings of different “race” is a mere 0.012 percent.3

This is an excerpt from the book, "One Race One Blood" by Ken Ham. You can read the footnotes, and more of this book by clicking this LINK.

You need to avoid people who teach and speak about division or distinction based on so-called "race." God tells us to do good to all men, to love all men.

And God does not just "say" that lives matter: He demonstrated it in action, by sending the Savior into the world so that all men might be saved by trusting in this one Savior of all men. The proof of this truth is the historical fact of the death, burial and resurrection of the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

By the way, if you deny the God of the Bible, how can you say that any life matters? On what basis would you say that? "Survival of the fittest" stands opposed to such slogans. No, the atheist, the anti-theist, they must borrow a Biblical world view to say anything about right or wrong, truth, justice, etc. And since many people are practical atheists  in this country (meaning they act like atheists despite any claims about faith in God), is it a surprise that we have allowed the murder of over 

55 Million 

pre-born babies through abortion? Don't those lives matter? Where are the Al Sharptons and the Jesse Jacksons standing up for these lives? Where is the outrage? Where are they blocking the interstates and bridges? Sadly, the ones who do stand up for these lives are vilified and marginalized, and their act of love is met with anger and hostility by people in our country.

People, we need to seek the Lord. He is the only one who can deliver us from our sinful, wicked hearts. He is the only one who can take away the hatred we have for one another, and give us a desire to love one another. He can set us free from sin, death & hell, if we will turn to him. Trust in the Lord Jesus today as your Savior.
