Who are the Gentiles Today?

The Good News Today Is...we are being challenged to change. I have not written about the inauguration this week because everyone else has. The one thing that I have had trouble with is the fact that we as a generation are still hung up on the race of the president. If we truly all thought that the best man was elected, his race would not have been the topic of every news story on inauguration day. It's the same everywhere I turn. Locally we have a large immigrant population from Somalia. Recently there was an article in Newsweek about the changes in the community that have been attributed to the Somalians moving into town. The mayor responded with a worry that he didn't want the "skinheads" back to try to get rid of the immigrants. Everywhere I read there are still so many racial slurs and insinuations regarding groups of people. Will we ever get to the point where a man is just a man, either good or bad? We have not progressed much from the way the Jews regarded the Gentiles. "The apostles and the brothers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God." Acts 11:1
