The Memphis Manifesto: Five Years Later

| April 21, 2000 | no comments

 

In August 1999, USA Today had a front page feature of about 25 people that we all know as leaders in different fields of endeavor. The thing that linked the people was that they were all products of mixed parentage. As I read the article I wondered if the world would lead the church into the reality that God looks at our heart not our appearance. I sure hope that does not happen.

The Memphis Manifesto will remain nice words on paper until every believer can endorse the excellence of mixed marriage. Are you ready to do this? If you are not, I am afraid that division among the brethren will continue. And in my opinion, such division will delay the Lord’s return.
