Sermon on race relations

Attached is a link to a very interesting sermon on race relations. Go to http://www.perrystone.org/audio_messages.cfm and click on "God's Message to the American Church". It's an audio file of a full length sermon so you'll need your sound turned on and a little time to listen to it.

The basic points as I recall are:

1. At the beginning the church was in one accord, and the denominations and other divisions we see today were never God's plan.

2. We're divided in a number of different ways, one of which is race.

3. Each race offers strengths that the enemy keeps us from enjoying with our divisions.

4. As God moves us toward an end times revival these divisions will go away as the older generation dies off. This is already starting to take place now as younger people don't seem to have the same problems with other races their parents do. He likens this to the dying off of the unbelieving generation that was unable to enter Canaan. After 40 years of wandering their children entered the Promised Land.
