Acts 17:26

And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings ….

"It is appalling that the most segregated hour of Christian America is 11 o'clock on Sunday morning…," ~ Martin Luther King

We have already found that legislation can force us to integrate bodies of different colors, national origins and genders in buses and schools and jobs, but it cannot change hearts from which all behavior emanates. ~ Mack Lyon

Behavioral change is done by accepting and respecting the teachings of Almighty God. All races are going to behave civilly toward one another only when we respect each other as being of a common origin and lineage, our destiny being equal in the sight of God our Savior. ~ Mack Lyon

Luke 14:7-117 So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: 8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him;

Luke 14:7-119 and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place.

Luke 14:7-1110 But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you.

Luke 14:7-1111 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Matthew 18:1-41 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,

Matthew 18:1-43 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 23:11But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.
