Racial Reconciliation

Could it be? Could there be true healing, repentance and forgiveness for racial sins in our land?

Could it be that someone has followed the leading of the Spirit, admitted his faults, and then asked for forgiveness?

Could this be happening in Jena, Louisiana, home of the Jena Six, while Reverends Sharpton and Jackson are no where in sight?

It could be, and in fact it's true. I just spoke to a good friend who felt called to Jena this week, after hearing Dr. Richard Land speak about the revival on the radio. This revival is now in it's 8th week.

Friends, God can move mountains. God can move the mountains of racial conflict in this land. God can help us all find forgiveness. He can and does heal us. Listen to His voice. Listen to his call. Revival is needed. Revival has come to one town. Let repentance, mercy, salvation and forgiveness rain down on all of our land. Let Him Reign!

Read about the Jena Revival from the North American Mission Board.

Man I love this story - that is, until the end.

It's amazing what God does when people come together in the spirit of unity. The devicive actions among men (especially believers) surely makes God sad.

My question is this: At the end of the story, it reads, "They ask Southern Baptists who hunger for a movement of God's Spirit to join them in prayer..." After all of the talk about unity, why stop at Southern Baptists?
