God’s Word about our Commitment to Justice, Mercy, and Faithfulness!
There is an old saying that says, “you find what you are looking for.” Paul in his instruction to Timothy says, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” [2 Timothy 3:16, 17] Our prayer is that these passages of scripture will be helpful in your journey to know more about what God wants for our lives and how we can defeat the sin of racism.
Some helpful suggestions:
- Read from different translations
- As you encounter the “familiar”, look for the “new.”
- Remember that we interpret through our experiences.
- Read, study and discuss with others as well as by yourself.
The intercultural development Inventory
The Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®) is the premier cross-cultural assessment of intercultural competence that is used by thousands of individuals and organizations to build intercultural competence to achieve international and domestic diversity and inclusion goals and outcomes. We have several ministers in our church who are qualified administrators of this assessment. If you are interested in developing a more culturally-competent mindset about antiracism and inclusion, you can sign up to take the assessment and one of our ministers will reach out to you. This is a free assessment for North Atlanta Family members. There is a fee for non-family members.
