"Now, on one hand, we aren't called to respond simply out of social pressure -- the whole “if you aren't with us, you're against us” or “silence is racism.” Society is pressuring us to believe a lot of things, many of which we shouldn't believe. Our goal as Christians isn't to follow our culture, but to follow Christ.

That being said, this doesn't mean we should or even are allowed to be silent on the issue of racism. In fact, I would argue that if we're going to live out our faith, then we more than anyone else should hate the injustices we see in our world. Meaning we don't hate racism because the culture does. We hate racism because the Bible shows us that God does."

As part of our mission to equip the local church and Asian American Christians, we are posting sermon excerpts, devotions, and prayers from our SOLA Council members concerning racism and injustice. We hope that these words would be challenging and encouraging to believers as we fight against the sin of racism. 

This clip is from Kim Kira, the primary teaching elder at Lighthouse Community Church in Torrance, California.
