Ken Duncan Photo: “Tears for a Nation”—God is grieved by the terrible division between black & white

In Photography, Racism

From: KenDuncan.com

A rare fall of rain sends water rushing down the gullies of Uluru, fresh and pure and white as the tears of God.

I believe this photograph is prophetic to our nation. God is grieved by the terrible division between black and white, and here, in the very heart of Australia, we see His pain.

The Spirit only works in unity. Australia will only fulfill its rightful purpose if we move together, putting aside our past and looking forward to our future.

Our destiny is controlled by something far greater than race. We have to learn from each other.

Jeremiah Wright at National Press Club: “God Wants Us RECONCILED One to Another”

In Barack Obama, Media Bias Exposed, Racism

Although in this speech (which includes the now infamous Q & A in parts 4-6, below),  Jeremiah Wright takes a few things that the Bible teaches out of context, most of this bold chastisement of the press and call for us to be ONE is wonderful!

It’s sad and telling to see Obama now basically denounce Wright, especially regarding the use of our troops in foreign policy. Wright basically just says Obama is being a politician, doing what politicians do in order to win—which I think is unconscionable.

I transcribed this statement by Wright on what Ron Paul calls nation building.

“We have troops stationed all over the world,
just like Rome had troops stationed all over the world,
because we run the world.

That notion of imperialism is not the message of the gospel of the Prince of Peace,
nor a God whom loves the world.”

In Revival, War

From: AP News

VATICAN CITY (AP) – Pope Benedict XVI issued one of his strongest appeals for peace in Iraq on Sunday, days after the body of the kidnapped Chaldean Catholic archbishop was found near the northern city of Mosul.

The pope also denounced the 5-year-long Iraq war, saying it had provoked the complete breakup of Iraqi civilian life.

“Enough with the slaughters. Enough with the violence. Enough with the hatred in Iraq!” Benedict said to applause at the end of his Palm Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square.
