Required Reading

Devotional

Our reading today brings up a slew of questions like, who did Cain marry? Was it his sister? I thought you couldn't do that? Are we all descendants of Adam and Eve?

I'm just going to concede my time to the video below to discuss that a few other things.

Today, take time to reflect on the implications of one race. Ask God to reveal to you His truth and equip you with the evidence to support it for both yourself, and for others you know.

Reflection Questions

How does the biblical account of human origins challenge common misconceptions about race?
The speaker mentions that "if you're a biblical creationist and you're logical, you can't be racist." Do you agree? Why or why not?
How has evolutionary theory influenced societal views on race throughout history? Can you think of any examples?
How does understanding our common origin in Adam affect our view of the gospel and Jesus as the "last Adam"?
How can we, as Christians, be at the forefront of promoting unity and combating racism in our communities?
