The "new song" refers to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and includes an invitation to all mankind to accept him as their Savior and Lord. Why then has there been a continuing history within the church of the exclusion of people on the basis of their race? These divisions, which were highlighted by Rev. Martin Luther-King in the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, continue to exist not only in the church in the US but also in the UK.

One of the greatest crises facing the church is the crisis of racial injustice that has so long marred the body of Christ in America. Evangelicals have traditionally had a set of biblical, theological, and cultural tools we have used for dealing with questions about race: the necessity of personal responsibility, the possibility of heart renewal through faith in Jesus, the transformative impact of interpersonal relationships, and the bedrock conviction...

Description
"From Teacher to Preacher" is Dr. Jean Norbert Augustin's autobiography. It is a survey of his life, beginning with his birth in the late forties to the time of writing (2022). Born and growing up in a very modest Roman Catholic family, he grew up to become a well-respected French teacher — a profession he served for fifty-two years (1967-2019) without a single break! In 1982, he gave his life to Jesus and, in 1983, was called to the ministry, serving...

But its understanding has increasingly been diminished by a lack of its teaching. The language of Christianity has been re-defined and negated by culture. It's even sometimes neglected and discounted by Believers. The Dictionary Resource provides a dictionary of common and familiar terms within the...

That day, the 16th of November, 1989 I was meditating from Luke 18:20 where the Lord said to the Jewish ruler, "You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour your father and mother." I decided to spend one meditation period of two hours in examining my heart...

Human beings tend to romanticize history or idealize historical figures. This is nowhere more apparent than the civil rights era of the twentieth century. The problem is that when we idealize history, we fail to learn from it. The result is that history repeats itself along with its sins and atrocities. The January 6 Capitol insurrection and the current racial reckoning we are experiencing is unoriginal to the American experience. We have been here...
