Unity At The Cross

Pastor J.D. -

One of our church planting center partners, a black guy named Raphael, just said one of the coolest things I've heard in a while... speaking of the Advance conference, he said: "At first I felt strange in that there weren't that many black guys in the room, but when Mark Driscoll started talking about idolatry in the pastor's life, we all turned the same color. First pink with embarrassment, and then red with blood of Jesus."

Sin and salvation tend to make us realize we're all one race, saved by the same Savior. No black, white, Jew, Greek, rich, poor, educated, uneducated, male or female. Just sinners and Jesus.
