Good Morning, God,
There is a headline out of North Dakota about a person who wants to buy up a small town and convert it to one which is all one race and culture. Currently there are several different colors and cultures represented by those living in the town. It is just a small town, Lord, so what difference would it make? If this person wants to live with only his "kind," what's the harm in that?
This isn't the first situation like this, either. As long as there have been men and women and differences, there have been desires to stick with one's own kind. Your book, the Bible, speaks of this, of not inter-marrying, of not associating with some people, of keeping oneself pure from different sins, lifestyles and religions.
Yet, in the end, your Book always comes around to saying that in your kingdom, in the world you desire, there is neither male nor female, Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free. What matters solely to you, Lord, is that we become as one because we have come together in Christ-red and yellow, black and white-all are precious in your site, and you want us all together in your kingdom.
In Jesus's name, Amen.
