One spring they announced that they were going to have a big Sunday rally in the central downtown park of Spokane. We talked a lot about what we could do as a congregation to oppose their racial hatred that they called Christian. Our church had a relationship with an African-American congregation in town similar to our partnership with Mt. Calvary in Seattle. So we decided to invite our friends to join us in our worship that morning. Our sanctuary was large enough to hold us both.
Hatred hurts others, but hatred also hurts the one who hates.
It is like throwing burning coals on someone. In the process you burn your own hands first. Hatred is living in the dark and losing one's way. It is the way of confusion. And it is the way that is certain to lose.
