Resources: Race & the Gospel
Over the years God has used these resources on race to challenge, encourage and grow me. I pray you find them helpful. Just a note, you will most likely disagree with some of the content here. That's okay. The authors come from varying backgrounds. When we talk about partisan politics things can become heated. But, just as there are great differences within the church on most topics, there are diverse perspectives represented in these resources.

Couple years ago at a conference on missions, one of the speakers smacked me upside the head with this and I haven't been able to shake it, "There are three types of Christians: Those who go, those who send and those who are disobedient." Ouch. A buddy of mine and friend of Elevation is working very hard to raise support so he can go to the ends of the earth for the sak...

It happened. When someone asks "how's Elevation Chris?" I playfully respond that there haven't been any fire alarms yet. Time for a new line.

Over the next hour and a half ou...
