GRACE HEALS RACISM FROM THE INSIDE When I was just nineteen, I had a conversion experience. Just one month later I entered a college for the purpose of learning the Bible and theology and ministry. The college was in Birmingham, and the time was the mid-sixties. The civil rights movement was underway, and our way of life was changing right before our eyes. There was much resistance.

You know the sad story. People who just wanted to be treated as equals were beaten bloody with billy clubs. The police knocked them down with water from the fire hoses. Trained German Shepherds mercilessly attacked helpless people. Many who had done no wrong except stand up for their own dignity were put in jail. And one Sunday morning on Sixteenth Street, four little girls went to Sunday school and never came back alive, because of a bomb that had been planted in their church.

Looking back at those times, I wish so much that I had been different. After all, I was in Birmingham at the same time, and these events were happening less than two miles away from the place where my Bible lay open on my desk. There is no question in my mind that, considering where I was and what I knew, I was sincerely trying to learn the ways of the Lord. More than ever in my life, I had become focused on wanting to do the right thing.

But I did NOT stand up, and I don’t personally know anybody who did. Not one of our teachers or “ministers of the Word” had anything to say, except to tell us to “stay out of it”, “mind our own business”, and to have nothing to do with these “agitators”

who had come to our city. So our Christian ministers told us to stay away from such “troublemakers.”

I find it strange that I never felt guilty about my non-involvement in this conflict. As years went by, elements of racism continued to be a part of my life, even as I preached sermons and did church work. I sincerely prayed and worked and served, but I never realized how hypocritical my life was.

One of the tragedies of human nature is that when we are part of a subculture that thinks a certain way, all of reality is defined within that subculture. Even our conscience can be bent to fit the accepted pattern of thought.

Fast-forward (please!) to a single day when I bought two books that soon changed my entire way of thinking forever!

Little did I know how graceless my soul had been until that day.

The two books were not actually books about racism or social issues at all... they were books about the grace of God. One was “The Ragamuffin Gospel” by Brennan Manning. The other book was “What’s So Amazing about Grace?” by Philip Yancey.

I promise you that I did not “enjoy” the books when I first read them. I cried like a baby through every chapter. For the first time in my life I was beginning to see what grace was really about how extreme, unreasonable, radical, and wonderful it is!

Reading those two books, I finally saw the truth of how undeserving I was, and am, and always shall be. All of my pride, any

Page 21

sense of worthiness or righteousness of my own was obliterated forever. I saw myself as so much worse than I had ever imagined that I was, and at the same time I realized that somehow I was loved completely and unconditionally.

I thought upon the truths of radical amazing grace. I found out that even beginning to think upon the truths of grace can lead your mind into areas you have never visited before. You will see things differently, and you will hear a different voice speaking to you.

I began to think back on the years when we white Americans felt some sense of “superiority”, and it sickened me. It literally made me physically ill. Disgusted and ashamed, I prayed for and found forgiveness.

I know that I cannot go back to being the nineteen year old in that Bible College. I can’t go back to the Birmingham of the sixties and try to make a difference. But I can look around me now, and ask for insight into my world today, hoping to not be so blind any more. And perhaps I can find some courage to do something about it.

Not long ago, I participated in a march to honor those who back in the sixties had stood for grace, non-violence, and freedom from oppression. The newspapers reported that I was there to “atone” for my past. They were wrong. I can’t atone for anything!

But I can be a different kind of man, if only because of grace. [ Condensed from “Broken Roads to Grace” by Jim Lee. For more information or to buy the book, go to www.brokenroadstograce.com , or call Jim at (251) 510-7141 ]

Thanksgiving

Sometimes we leave out the main ingredient of prayer, which is thanksgiving. God gave us the recipe. He said. “Be careful for nothing, in other words don’t fret or have anxiety about anything.

Cast your cares upon the Lord.” There are times when we go to God with praise and thanksgiving and he answers and meet our need before we get to the requests.

When Jesus entered into Peter’s house, he rebuked the fever from his mother-in-law and it left her.

That fever just took off when Jesus rebuked it.

When we begin to thank and praise God, the old devil can’t stand it and he will run. The praise and thanksgiving is praying. In fact, it is one of the highest forms of prayer. It seems God is very pleased with our thanks. He tells us to offer unto him praise and thanksgiving.

If you feel you don’t have anything to thank him for, just offer unto him a sacrifice of praise. When you do this, you will begin to feel his peace, not the peace the world offers but his peace that passes all understanding. Yes, praise and thanksgiving are very important ingredients we are to mix with our prayers and supplications. Don’t leave them out.

If you stick with this rule, you’ll have lovely, flaky pastry and warm, fluffy cake! ¥ “Keep rolls or breads warm at the table with this OLD trick: Line your bread basket with foil, shiny side out.

Drape a towel over that, and snug the bread inside.” -G.R. in Wisconsin ¥ Want to know the secret to great biscuits? Handle the dough gently. The more you mess with it, the tougher the biscuits. If you use a cutter, dip it in water for each press, and DON’T twist: You’ll create a seal on the edges that will hinder the biscuit from rising, making it denser.

¥ “Got a dome on your cake? Measure your ingredients well. Use a pan that is big enough. And if all else fails, use a thermometer to gauge whether your oven is too hot.

These things more than any others will make a cake pop up in the center.” -- E.A. in Mississippi ¥ Here’s a fun way to spend a weekend morning: Making pancakes or waffles! Make a double (or triple, or more) batch, and make several varieties -- blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, walnuts, strawberry, even pumpkin!

Lay them out in layers and let cool. Stack separated with freezer paper in the freezer. They can be microwaved or toasted in minutes for an easy weekday breakfast. ¥ Self-rising flour or all-purpose? There’s actually a pretty easy way to tell which is which. Self-rising flour has baking soda added to it, which tastes salty. If you’re facing a canister of flour and the recipe calls for all-purpose, give it a taste. If it’s self-rising, omit any baking soda added to your recipe.
