The End of Racism: #2 You are a child of God

In addition to being created in the image and likeness of God, you become a child of God when you recognize that the fellowship between you and God needs to be reestablished. You become born of God when you believe in the name of Jesus Christ. For it is written: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the ﬂesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John

The End of Racism: #1 Know who you are

When you know who you truly are, nobody is going to mess with your mind. I have shown that racism is a social construct based on a faulty ideology about people’s identity. According to the racist, there are some people whose skin color makes them inferior to them and deserve to be treated as such. However, it is not enough for somebody to believe that your skin color or any other thing makes you inferior to them. To be inferior, you need to believe that you are inferior. As s

The End of Racism: Anything that has a beginning has an end

“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the ﬁnal word.” Martin Luther King, Jr. The title of this chapter is a paradox because, throughout the book, I pointed out that racism is a social construct, a façade, a bogeyman that has morphed into a monster that is extremely d

The life of Jesus Christ: The defeat of racism and the way forward pt.3

Jesus died and out of His death came the forgiveness of our sins and billions all over the world have found peace, life, and hope in Him. Make your life count by walking in love and treating others how you want to be treated. Good Friday is indeed good because the untimely, brutal, and unjust death of a 33-year-old man has reconciled us to God. God always has the last say, and it is our responsibility to trust Him to make all wrongs right. In the case of Jesus Christ, those w

The life of Jesus Christ: The defeat of racism and the way forward pt.2

The condemned man was made to carry His own cross to the place where He was going to be cruciﬁed. When He arrived at the place of his death, two other condemned thieves were there already. The Roman soldiers stripped Him naked and nailed Him on a wooden cross. He died a shameful, disgraceful, painful, and disgusting death among two convicted criminals. How can this be a good thing? It was a bloody mess, to say the least. You will be surprised to hear that His only “crime” is

The life of Jesus Christ: The defeat of racism and the way forward Pt.1

Where was God when Joseph needed him the most? Where was God when the Africans caught their own brothers and sold them to foreigners? Where was God when all the despicable things were being done to the African slaves in the new world? How could God allow such wickedness to go unchecked? How could a loving, merciful, and good God allow such evil to be perpetuated? I do not have any answers to these questions other than to say that it seems God must have been where he was when

Run! Run! Run! For only, you can run

Are you guilty of misquoting the following scripture when it comes to exercising? The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1 I heard somebody use this scripture to justify why they don’t exercise. This person said, “How can I just get up and start running when nobody is chasing me?” To which I responded, “You must run not because you are wicked, there are more sinister conditions that are chasing you.” Here are some of them: ·

How dare you put God in your back pocket

Without faith, it is impossible to please God. If you don't have faith you will never reach your full potential. Complaining, blaming, and making excuses is a dead end, please repent! But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.” Then the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are.” So they brought to the people of Israel a b

Parallels between the life of Joseph and the African-Americans

There are too many parallels between the life of Joseph and the African-Americans in the United States of America. I am not speaking about their behavior because I am not wearing their shoes, but I am speaking the word of God here because many of them are people of the Book. Thousands of books have been written on this issue and many solutions have been presented, and it is not possible to solve this complicated problem in a few paragraphs. That said, I have lived in the Unit

The Way Forward: I get It

“If a man like Malcolm X could change and repudiate racism, if I myself and other former Muslims can change, if young whites can change, then there is hope for America.” Eldridge Cleaver Not too long ago, I wrote something on Facebook about racism, and one of my contacts who happens to be African-American told me outright that I was not born here and I do not understand anything about racism. This person is not the only one who has told me that. I have not yet earned the righ

The 3 Hebrew boys and Daniel

While Joseph was sold by his brothers into slavery, three Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego together with Daniel were forcefully carried into exile from Judah by the Babylonians. How could God allow such a terrible thing to happen? Well, the people had sinned, and this was a punishment for their sin. When these Hebrew boys were carried to Babylon, they did not allow bitterness, anger, and resentment to prevent them from working with God. They chose to obey God under

All things work together for our good

Bad things happen to good people and at times we wonder why because it does not make sense. However, Joseph had an entirely different perspective as the following scriptures reveal: And Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” So they came near. Then he said: “I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life. For these two years
