GOD’S GOAL TO RESTORE COVENANT RELATIONSHIP REQUIRES…
1.
2.
3.

WHERE DO YOU SEE INJUSTICE IN AMERICA TODAY?

APPLICATION: Act. Examine. Learn.

RESOURCES FOR UNDERSTANDING RACISM:
  1. Certainly there has been racism as the resources below address. At the same time, we must acknowledge to the agenda behind Critical Race Theory and the organization Black Lives Matter. The Church must stand in the tension of condemning racism, while opposing violence and oppression against those with good intentions. Vodie Baucham is one good source for more information. A longer message on Racial Reconciliation from him is here.
  2. For a youth and adults, Axis recommends these resources…
    1. Racism in the US Guide is an excellent overview, answering key questions for youth.
    2. 13th is a documentary exploring the history of racial inequality in the United States. 
    3. Just Mercy is based on the case of Walter McMillian, a Black man sentenced to die in 1987 for the murder of a young White girl, despite evidence proving his innocence 
    4. Selma is based on Dr. King’s crossing of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965
  3. For a biblical look at Justice watch this video from the Bible Project. 
  4. If you think racism is not relevant to rural Wisconsin, read this testimony. 
  5. Watch this for info on the little publicized racism of Muslims in China.


REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
  1. How have I been the plaintiff, a victim of neglect or oppression?
  2. How have I been the judge or prosecutor, rightly confronting oppression?
  3. How have I been the defendant, guilty of oppressing others? (This may have been actively, passively, or unintentionally being unjust.)
  4. How have I viewed the world through a “Disney Princess Theology” lens?
  5. What does God want me to do in response?
