Don't Limit Your Work to One Race

Churches are to be made up of mixed races—I mean blacks, whites, Asian, Mexican, etc. etc. If people speak the same language and can understand the teaching of the word, there is no reason for them not to be in the same service (John 6:45; Acts 2:5-11; 1 Corinthians 14:9). God didn’t create different races so they can stay apart, and most certainly not when it concerns worshipping Him (Acts 10:34-35; Isaiah 2:2-3). Therefore, no race is better than another because God made men of one blood, meaning the human race (Acts 10:28, 17:24-26).

So the word out is: if you are white, don’t stay away from a sound church because the people are black. If you are black, quit trying to start or continue what is know as “the African American church.” Instead, attempt to make converts from all who will listen to the words of Christ (Matthew 28:18-20). There are people who study the Bible only with their own race and never make an attempt to do so with others. In the Bible there is no black church or white church. Jesus’ body is simply the church, and it is for all who desire to worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:24; 1 Cor. 12:27; Ephesians 2:10-22).

Hope to hear from you or see you at the services.
