The recent passing of boxing great Muhammad Ali caused me to pause and reflect on my childhood. Memories of growing up during the champ’s reign and the racially turbulent 1960s and ‘70s came back like a flood. His tremendous skills in the ring and the bravado with which he would predict his foes’ demise was mesmerizing to a young black boy.

The color of a person’s skin is important; God put a lot of thought into it. But that is something about our makeup that will never change. What can change, though, is what cause we are willing to lay down our lives for.

For many young black Americans today, particularly millennials, the pursuit of “social justice” has become somewhat of a raison d’être (the sole reason for which a person or organization exists.)
Tuesday, September 13, 2016 | Rev. Ralph J. Chittams, Sr.
There is no doubt Francis Scott Key is a complicated historical character, much like Thomas Jefferson. But "The Star-Spangled Banner" is not a racist song. It is a song of nationalist pride.

Young multimillionaires in the NFL continue to parrot the San Francisco 49ers' second-string quarterback in sitting out, or “taking a knee,” during the playing of our national anthem -- their misguided attempt to acknowledge America’s racist history and its symbols, our national anthem and flag.

Every sports fan is familiar with this phrase...
Tuesday, October 11, 2016 | Darrell B. Harrison
For anyone to admit that incidents of police-involved violence is a divisive topic in America today would be an understatement to say the least. Likewise, to deny that this issue is equally divisive, if not more so, among Christians is to be naively oblivious to reality.

If the works of Christ were in and of themselves sufficient to inaugurate the kind of egalitarian social structure so zealously desired by many Christian SJWs, then I ask you, my brother and sister, why was it still necessary for Him to die?

Unless our innate sinfulness becomes central to the ongoing conversation on matters of unity and justice, we will find ourselves right back here again, incessantly engaged in circular tit-for-tat arguments which, ultimately, will prove to be of no real temporal or, more importantly, eternal benefit.

We all harbor a sin nature that has been with us since our beginning. And no good comes from feeding that natural tendency. In fact, the Bible tells us the cost of doing so is death.

Over the last several years, as racial tensions have ramped up, I have begun wrestling with the questions raised by events, incidents, protests – you name it – and what these questions mean for the Christian.

Nothing in the Bible indicates that it is wrong to be a part of a different ethnos per se. After all, it was God who separated the human race into distinct ethnic groups.
Wednesday, December 20, 2017 | Ed Vitagliano, AFA Executive Vice President
The coming of Jesus Christ into the world did not change the arrangement of mankind into distinct ethnos groups. That remains in place and will be present even at the end of the age.
Thursday, December 21, 2017 | Ed Vitagliano, AFA Executive Vice President

As I write this, a line from the Prince song “1999” echoes in the recesses of my mind: “I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me if I go astray.” And though I’m not actually dreaming as I write this, I was awakened from my sleep with a sense of urgency to broach a subject that is of great concern to me personally.

If you ask my detractors, they would tell you that the reason I do not celebrate gay pride is that I’m a bigot. A hater. A homophobe. A transphobe. Why shouldn’t all of us celebrate gay (or, LGBT) pride?
