Carl Lentz Instagram – Today, marks 65 years since the murder of EMMIT TILL. He was a 14 year old boy who was kidnapped, beaten, mutilated and murdered by two white men. He was falsely accused of “whistling” at a white woman. The two men charged with his murder were acquitted by a jury who deliberated less than an hour. Before her death, the woman who accused him admitted she lied and recanted her story. Some believe Emmits murder was the true catalyst for the civil rights movement in america. To understand where our country currently is, we have to understand where it’s BEEN. Today in washington, thousands have gathered to march, to protest, to demand racial justice and police reform. For as much progress our country has made, the current pain and desperation and exasperation of so many citizens should motivate us all keep pushing. My prayer is that we can trade “progress” for radical upheaval and meaningful, supernatural, permanent CHANGE. If I was not a follower of Jesus, I would be doubtful and discouraged. But because I am? I remain passionately hopeful.. #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatter
