Do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our ancestor'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham (Luke 3:8).
I do not know very much about Clare Herbert Woolston except that he has the same name as a shirt-tail relative of mine and that he was a preacher in Chicago during the late 19th century and the early 20th century. Also he authored the words to a little children's song that we used to sing in Sunday school when I was a little boy, Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and Yellow, Black and White, all are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world. I imagine that serving the Lord in a city like Chicago proved to be the source of inspiration for this little song.
How is it that anyone who trusts in the God of Bible could have ever thought that God loves one race more than another? I am familiar with some of the reasons given, but they all ring hollow. God is concerned about what is in a person's heart and character. Least of all is he concerned with the color of their skin; it is not an issue with Him!
Genocide is evil, yet there is a slow genocide that is against the unborn, and particularly, the Black unborn. Blacks make up a little less than 15 percent of the American population, but Black babies account for 36 percent of the abortion total. God weeps just as much for an unborn black baby who was denied the gift of life as an aborted white baby. Which one of them might have been a future President?
Grace&Peace,
