Mike addresses the George Floyd protests and racism from a biblical perspective: (1) All humans are made in God's image — foundational to human rights. (2) Race as commonly discussed doesn't fit the Christian worldview — skin color is irrelevant to human value. (3) Romans 12:21: don't let others' sin trigger your sin. (4) Galatians 6:1: restore in gentleness, keep watch on yourself lest you be tempted. The key warning: don't justify rebellion against God in the name of righteousness.
Biblical response to George Floyd and racism
Mike acknowledges racism is real and especially impacts Black Americans. But cautions Christians against: (1) picking political sides over following Jesus, (2) letting flesh hook flesh — others' wickedness justifying your wickedness, (3) abandoning self-examination. The Good Samaritan as the model: love whoever you encounter as neighbor, regardless of ethnic animosity. Galatians 6:1: restore gently, watch yourself.
