ACU gave us a perfect example of this concept when Dr. Royce Money apologized for racial discrimination that occurred decades ago. As Christians, however, God calls us to a higher standard. Because we are all brothers and sisters through Christ, we have a responsibility to help and alleviate the concerns of others to build trust and respect, even if not out of a direct responsibility for the misdeed. Even if the guilt is not ours, the responsibility to make right a situation falls on us, simply out of care, concern and humility. Too often, pride keeps us from taking that step.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
