    Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! What a wonderful reminder to lean into our Savior and trust Him - the Giver - and not the gifts He gives. Thank you for sharing, sweet sister! -Nikki

    For two days in a row now I've watched your "Manna Moment" and been blessed afresh by it. Thanks for pointing me again and again to the provider and not the provision, the need he met for me yesterday and the need he's going to meet for me today, and ultimately the truth that he will meet my needs for each day, day by day. That I can bank on in these uncertain times. Feeling less anxious as I get ready for work. 😊

The ARC of Racial Justice - a Reflection and Exhortation from Pastor Matt Lorish

Here we are again. The video footage of Ahmaud Arbery is all over social media. It is a time for lament and a time for righteous anger. I write this blog post as a continuation to the initial posts offered by Northside Church members. My aim in this post is to help my fellow white brothers and sisters think about where we go from here. At the close of Jemar Tisby’s book, The Color of Compromise , he introduces a framework that he calls the A.R.C. of racial justice.

I have stayed silent when it benefited me, rather than speaking when it would have benefited my brothers and sisters of color. I have defaulted to judgment rather than sorrow, when an unarmed Black person is shot to death. I remember when Michael Brown was shot and killed, watching the news coverage, the first thing I focused on was what he ‘must have done to cause it.’ I sought for a flaw in Michael Brown’s character as if that should be worthy of death. I engaged with other nationally covered events in a similar way. Embracing a narrative that made me comfortable was functionally more important to me than the God-given lives of image bearers like Eric Garner and Tamir Rice. I have been indifferent, and uncaring. Over the past year I have ignored the increase in violent hate crimes agains
