Racial discord seems to be at a fever pitch currently, and people are nervous. With a polarizing U.S. president, an explosive white supremacy rally taking place in Charlottesville, constant terror attacks all across Europe, and a new racial controversy every week, most countries seem to remain constantly on a heightened state of racial anxiety and alert. Is there a solution, or is violence and more painful strife inevitable? The Bible and Racism examines what the Bible really has to say about racism. Does the Bible actually justify racism? (No!) Does the Bible justify race-based slavery? (Not at all!) Does the Bible advocate for the segregation of races on Sunday mornings (Quite the opposite!) Does the Bible justify servanthood and bond-servants? (Yes, it does - read inside to see how that is a good thing.) This book covers comprehensively every major issue of race and gives a plain-sense answer from the Word of God. You will learn how Confederate pastors twisted Scripture to justify their abhorrent and unbiblical theology. You will see how pastors and government leaders during the 1950s-1970s sought to explain their segregationist policies by abusing the clear teachings of Scripture. Ultimately, you will see that God created all humans (no matter their ethnicity, skin color, nor nationality) in His Image. You will see that Jesus prayed for His followers (Red, Yellow, Black and White) to all be unified and together in the deepest way possible. Finally, you will see that the church in Heaven is made up of every ethnicity, skin color and nationality all worshiping on level ground together, shoulder to shoulder, and you will come to understand that Jesus has called His church on earth to reflect the reality of the unified church in Heaven! My name is Chase, and I am a white, Southern-Baptist pastor from Birmingham, Alabama, USA - the epicenter of the Civil Rights Movement. Just a few years ago, I realized that maintaining a quietly neutral attitude about race and racism wasn't going to cut it anymore. As a pastor, I thought that I could help out with racial issues by being nice to everybody, cultivating friendships with people of other races, and decrying racism from time to time on social media. That was a naive strategy, and it is not nearly enough. Jesus, in His Word, calls believers to PURSUE peace and oneness, and that pursuit is what this book is about. Racial harmony is possible and racial unity is possible, but there are many false, but old and dearly held beliefs, that will have to be crushed under the hammer of God's Word in order to get to a place of real peace. Please join me and let's see What the Bible REALLY Says about Racism!

This book was released on 2021-04-06. Fault Lines available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Ground Is Moving The death of George Floyd at the hands of police in the summer of 2020 shocked the nation. As riots rocked American cities, Christians affirmed from the pulpit and in social media that “black lives matter” and that racial justice “is a gospel issue.” But what if there is more to the social justice movement than those Christians understand? Even worse: What if they’ve been duped into preaching ideas that actually oppose the Kingdom of God? In this powerful book, Voddie Baucham, a preacher, professor, and cultural apologist, explains the sinister worldview behind the social justice movement and Critical Race Theory—revealing how it already has infiltrated some seminaries, leading to internal denominational conflict, canceled careers, and lost livelihoods. Like a fault line, it threatens American culture in general—and the evangelical church in particular. Whether you’re a layperson who has woken up in a strange new world and wonders how to engage sensitively and effectively in the conversation on race or a pastor who is grappling with a polarized congregation, this book offers the clarity and understanding to either hold your ground or reclaim it.

A House Without Walls: How Christ Unites His Ethnically Divided Church available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In light of the heart-breaking ethnic division rending America today, A House Without Walls seeks to foster multi-ethnic harmony in evangelical congregations by bringing Biblical clarity to current racial and ethnic conversations. It uses Scripture to answer some pressing questions of our day like, “Are all people inherently racist?” “Does the gospel include racial justice?” “Does the Bible advocate for white repentance?” A House Without Walls attempts to realign discussions about race under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, focusing on Biblical understanding and applications. It also includes extra-Biblical research explaining the language and logic of current conversations about race, within an aim towards confidence in engaging the prevalent cultural discourse on race. The hopeful outcome of this work is listing unity among believers from diverse ethnic groups facilitated by this Scriptural study.
