In the wake of the Charlottesville rally that ended in violence and left 3 dead, Christian leaders are calling for prayer and condemning racism and white supremacy on social media.
Join with me in praying for the citizens of #Charlottesville.

Let’s bring back the humanity in being human. Hate only leads to harm. Let’s fix the systems that fuels these flames. #Charlottesville

These people in Charlottesville do not represent the Christian faith in any way, shape or form.

I am grieved to the core to think that this is the United States of America I am watching on live television right now.

“Blood and soil” = the idolatry of the flesh fueled by the dark spirit of the age. The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against such.

In Berlin I just saw news of truly shameful events in Charlottesville, VA today. Praying for my country. Urgently.

Claims of racial superiority are an assault on God’s glory in creation and the gospel of Jesus Christ. pic.twitter.com/cZ66IU7Ujc

Been off line and away from news for nearly 24 hours while we served in Colorado. Trying now to wrap my mind around Charlottesville.

“Stand against the schemes of the devil…withstand in the evil day & having done ALL to stand FIRM. Stand therefore.” No sitting this out.

We cannot renounce what we will not name. It’s called White Supremacy. And it is from hell. Call it. Condemn it.

If the only time u preach on race or racism is when there is a racial flare up, you are missing the reconciling work of Jesus. Eph 2:11-22

This has no place in our society. Pure evil.

This brief video provides incentive for prayerful and serious people to reflect on state of the country and our souls. This is dangerous. https://t.co/MmCOs7WtbR

Last yr's election gave us 2 terrible candidates whose paths were entirely predictable. But too many refused to believe predictions of this.

Too many said, "This isn't likely," "This isn't possible," "This doesn't exist any more," "This doesn't compare to…."

But many of us wake up to "This" and it's no small matter. "This" has become respectable and bold. "This" has mainstream cred at high levels

As "this" develops, the Church will have another test of its gospel, its anthropology, its love, its justness.

Test re-takes are rarer the older you get. It's the stuff of middle and high school. But here we are w/ gift of a re-test on racism.

Will we pass? Not just on Twitter and other social media? Will the Church pass this re-test in our homes, our streets, our pews, our comms?

Time will tell. We must pray, watch, act in neighbor love, and put our gospel to practice as steadfastly as supernaturally possible.
