THE CHURCH AT TEXAS

 12-28-2013-PARTIALITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN KINGDOM

JAMES 2: 1-4 =

(1) MY RETHREN, HAVE NOT THE FAITH OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE LORD OF GLORY, WITH RESPECT OF PERSONS.

(2) FOR IF HERE COME UNTO YOUR ASSEMBLY A MAN WITH A GOLD RING AND FINE APPAREL AND THERE COME IN SOME POOR MAN WITH FILTHY CLOTHE;

(3) AND YO HAVE RESPECT TO HIM WHO WEARS FINE CLOTHES AND SAY TO HIM, SIT YOU HERE IN A GOOD PLACE; AND SAY TO THE POOR, SIT YOU THERE, OR SIT YOU HERE UNDER MY FOOTSTOOL:

(4) ARE YOU NOT THEN PARTIAL IN YOURSELVES AND ARE BECOME JUDGES OF EVIL THOUGHTS?

"REMARKS"

THIS IDEA OF PARTIALITY CAME TO ME WHEN I SAW  PART OF THE JACKIE ROBINSON STORY WHERE THE OWNER OF THE BROOKLYN DODGERS BROUGHT THE FIRST BLACK BALLPLAYER INTO THE WORLD OF THE WHITE MANS GAME.

BRANCH RICKEY, THE OWNER OF THE BROOKLYN DODGERS, WAS VERY BOLD AND CLAIMED NO MATTER WHAT COLOR THE MANS SKIN WAS, HE SHOULD ALLOW HIM THE RIGHTS OF EVERY AMERICAN TO PARTAKE OF THE JOY OF BEING A PART OF SOMETHING GREAT.

THOUGH ROBINSON HAD TO ENDURE MUCH SHAME AND DEGRADATION, HE ENDURED AND PAVED THE WAY FOR ALL BLACK AMERICANS TO HAVE THE SAME DOORS OPEN TO THEM AS WHITE FOLKS.

SAME IS THE STORY OF THE GOSPEL OF YAHWEH, EACH PERSON NO MATTER THE COLOR, OR HIS NATIONALITY, SHOULD BE COUNTED EQUAL IN THE CONGREGATION OF CHRIST.

PARTIALITY SHOULD NOT BE FOUND IN THE CHURCH AND INTEGRATION OF ALL, SHOULD BE IN LOVE.
