In the last few weeks our country has stared down another devastating, self-inflicted act of violence. A racially motivated mass killing at a Charleston AME church has reignited racial tensions and demonstrated that our society’s racial sins are far from resolved. This week LinC takes a look at the remarkable forgiveness expressed—nearly instantly—by the families of those slain in hate. Key Scriptures: Matthew 5:43-45; 2 Corinthians 5:14a; Romans 12:21.
We all say that we like to be giving people, but do we ever give beyond what’s convenient? Next week in LinC, we’ll take a look at what it means to give sacrificially.
