The following is a proclamation by President Joe Biden posted today on The Whitehouse.Gov:
This is an obvious attempt to stoke the racial tensions in America that the Democratic Party relies on so ardently to court the black vote. This truly is a pointless holiday that reminds America of slavery. Juneteenth does little, if nothing, to mend the ties of segregation and slavery that everyone on the left loves to hang around the neck of the right, for some illogical reason; as if the right had anything to do with segregation, or slavery for that matter.
This blog focuses on biblical philosophy and at the core of that philosophy is reconciliation and forgiveness:
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. – The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), Col 3:12–15.
Churches, families, and para-church organizations should see this holiday for what it is, a shameful political tactic to further inculcate black America the lie that Democrats support and care for black America, a position that the empirical evidence undermines as the years go on. Instead, faith-based communities should focus on living a life unto Christ, showing love and charity to all around them, and doing so in humility and thankfulness.
