Some Thoughts on Ferguson

If it turns out that this police officer did wrongly shoot Michael Brown, he may still be able to say with a clear conscience that he was not motivated by racism to do so. And even though he may be able to say that with a clear conscience, he may be wrong. He may have been motivated by racism and not even realize it. This is not an indictment against the officer or an excuse for him either. It is a call for each of us to examine our own hearts. We are often easily blind to the sin in our own hearts. May we examine our hearts, repent, seek the forgiveness of God, and work toward racial reconciliation in all areas of life.
