"A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you , so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another". John 13:34-35
The Lord doesn't tell us if you are white only love other white people, or if you are Native American only love other Native Americans. NO. He simply said love one another.
The thing I am frustrated about most of the time is the fact that racism is still a thing. It is a barbaric, uneducated tool straight from the devil. And it frustrates me that people don't educate themselves on things like this OU SAE incident so they can form their own opinion and be able to contribute an EDUCATED opinion on the matter.
People have said the whole state of Oklahoma is a racist backwoods state. Nothing could offend me more than to be lumped in with the members of this fraternity because we live in the same state.
Our state is a beautiful one full of wonderful people who love anyone and everyone, and will give you the shirt off of their own back rather than see anyone go without. Of course there are the few that make us all look bad, but those people are everywhere.
What we have to do is make sure that above anything else we are loving our neighbors. No matter what, at all costs, because the Lord didn't choose who to love, but how to love.
"Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow." Isaiah 1:17
