Episode Notes

Highlighted Truth: God is Real, and Jesus Christ is Real. He wants to reveal Himself to you in a Real way, and He is in love with you!
Lie: God and Jesus Christ are not real.
Lie: The Bible was written by man alone and is unreliable.
Scriptures:
2 Cor. 4:4 (NLT) "Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God."
Ps. 14:1 (NLT) "Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!"
Here's your proof. . . . . Everything you see has been created by someone. Since God made us in His image, we operate like Him; we create and develop - which is another display of God's existence. He is teaching us about who He is through His creation, which includes YOU. How brilliant is that!!!
Rom. 1:20 (AMP) "For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power, and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse and without defense."

Highlighted Truth: Advancing Racial Justice and Equality is a part of being a Christian
Here are the lies we are attacking:
Lie: White people are the superior race.
Lie: Racism no longer exists.
Lie: There is no such thing as systematic or economic racism
Scriptures:
Genesis 1:26-27 (ASV) "Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."
Ephesians 5:1-2 “Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God."
Acts 10:28, 34-35 (NLT) 28 "Peter told them, “You know it is against our laws for a Jewish man to enter a Gentile home like this or to associate with you. But God has shown me that I should no longer think of anyone as impure or unclean. 34 Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism. 35 In every nation, he accepts those who fear him and do what is right."
