Critical Race Theory From a Biblical-World View
Ernest Easley
Genesis 1.26-27; Acts 10; Matthew 22, 28
The discussion and debate surrounding the Critical Race Theory has moved from the campuses of colleges and universities to communities and churches across America. CRT is a hot topic in today's culture.
We hear the pros and cons discussed daily on TV networks. We read on social media why it should be taught and why it shouldn't be taught in public schools.

Therefore, it affects your response to every area of life; from philosophy to science, theology and anthropology to economics, law, politics, are and social order - everything.''
When was the last time you had an eye examination? I recently had one in preparation for my cataract surgery. (I am getting old!) Once my eyes were dilated, they moved the phoropter, which contains different lenses to determine your prescription, in front of my face. You know the routine. As you look through a lens, they give you two options and ask, ''is it clearer here or here?'' Until finally, the lens is selected giving you perfect vision.
How you see the world (your worldview) is similar to looking through a phoropter. There are two options. One is blurry while one is clearer. I have found the worldview that removes the blur from social ...
