Session: The Third Option; Pastor Miles McPherson

God is about unity.

The third option is that we honor what we have in common. 

We have more in common than we think. 

Activist chose a side and have to defend it. 

We have been called to be prophetic. 

Our differences become assets. 

Sociology: Grouping 

In group- you understand 

Out group- you don’t understand 

With my out group there is a lot of space for education. 

When you come into a conversation with the assumption that you’re going to get along you do. 

What assumptions am I making?

1. Acknowledge you have a blind spot. 

2. Rename them as your Brother and Sister. 

3. Give in group love to your out group. 

4. Acknowledge your brothers/sisters color. 

5. View ever conversation as a race consultation. 

6. Give your heart to those not like you. 

The only thing faster than light is darkness running away.
