A "Must Read" response to Ferguson

http://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/thoughts-on-ferguson

Great response from Voddie Baucham concerning Ferguson. Voddies assessment provides a Biblical perspective to the tragedy that occurred in Ferguson. Thankful for my African American brother in Christ who provides such a balanced Biblical view while also sharing his own struggles and experiences with racial profiling. I myself long for the day that we gather around the throne, as representative from every ethnic group, worshipping the King. Concerning racist acts, no one has the right to "be prejudice" for all men are God's image bearers, thus having equal value. As followers of Jesus, we must strive to view each man, regardless of ethnicity and color, through the eyes of equality loving and serving others for the sake of the gospel. My prayer is that we, as the church, will experience this unity and thus influence our current culture in this manner.
