“When Noah was five hundred years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”

Genesis 5:32

Matthew 9:36-10:8

The commissioning of those who have come to believe to go forth and share the gifts of faith is a most dramatic story. As we embrace our racial sobriety and experience the relief from the demons of racial dysfunction we are challenged to go to our own community of origin and call others from sickness to health, from death to life, and from the leprosy of “stinking thinking.” We need to partner with others as the disciples of Christ did and share the benefits of our racial sobriety.
