We are living in some very exciting days. For Christians living in South Africa, this is doubtlessly true. We are living in the midst of some serious social upheaval, which is producing a wonderful opportunity for the church and therefore for the gospel. One of my major motivations for addressing the issue of racism, which is very front and centre, is to equip us to make the most of the opportunity to show that the only true hope for racial reconciliation is in the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and therefore in the church.
