When you're in a war, you don't care about the color, class, or culture of the man fighting next to you as long as he's shooting in the same direction you are.

Dr. Tony Evans says it's time for Christians to realize we're involved in a spiritual battle and we need to fight as a team.

God's spirit will only work in an environment of harmony and unity and until we become that kind of people

nothing else will work. This is the alternative with Dr Tony Evans, author, speaker,

senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, and president of the

Urban Alternative.

There's something in the news almost every day, reminding us that it's past time to face up to some

biblical facts about racism, so that's what we've got in store for today.

Dr Evans, tell us a little bit about where we'll start.

Well, David, it's become evident that the racial tension in our nation is spreading like

wildfire or manifesting itself in a very challenging way.

Everybody has a view on it, has a perspective I wanted to give

God's view on race and racism because you know he is not stuttered on this

subject he is very clear that his standard is to judge our human relationships, not our

standard because our standards get warped. It gets warped by sometimes how we are raised.

It gets warped by the influences that have been in our

lives but God wants to be the dominant influencer since he created the races

he created them on purpose and he acts his judge when we take a role regarding

other people that is outside of his standard. So I want to give his standard,

communicate his standard, clarify his standard so that we can begin adjusting ourselves to his

standard and not trying to get him to adjust himself to us.

Yeah, that's an important distinction we should always keep in mind.
