I condemn in the strongest possible terms the murder of George Floyd. I also condemn racism in all its forms. The church must stand against injustice and racism. And our voices have not been loud enough in doing so.

Can we condemn this murder…and racism…and still support our law enforcement officers? WE MUST! The actions of the officers in this heinous act are indefensible. But they do not reflect the actions and attitudes of all officers. We are blessed in this country with amazing and selfless servants who protect us every day. We are indebted to them.

Thank you to our law enforcement officers!

We grieve over the death of George Floyd and others who have died in our country under similar circumstances.

Let us stand together as a church and as a nation to condemn criminal action and racism…and to require justice in our country. May God heal our nation.
