Q. on interracial marriages

[Me Died Blue]

Thanks for the thoughts. It seems to me that the way this is handled is with a healthy emphasis on the church as the community of God's people and teaching children (of any ethnic descent) to find their identity in the people of God, as that is who they are in Christ. I found a great article by Piper on the subject. His position is that interracial marriage should be embraced, not just "allowed," a position that seems to have a great deal of weight to me.

That's a great sermon - especially if you watch it in the video format, and hear and see more of the nuances in the points Piper makes. His poem (based on Numbers 12) he mentioned near the end of the sermon is very well-done and thought-provoking as well, even from the opening line: "My God, Moses, the girl is black!"
