Chris.
The Righteousness of God is manifested in the Glory of God. At the beginning, God said: 'Let there be Light'. and then Light was created and manifested. There is no darkness in the Glory of God.
When God's People are living in and for His Glory, their lives shall be like shining lights. They also will love the Light of God, in their lives will be no darkness at all. When God's People are living in and for His Glory, Church becomes an attractive place to be in. The Worship of the Church becomes pure and anointed, a joyful experience! When God's People are living in and for His Glory, they become 'relationship makers' not 'relationship breakers'!
The Bible teaches us that the common ground between Believers is language, not race. At the time of the initial out-pouring of the Holy Spirit, the focus was on languages and many different peoples Praising God.
When a Church becomes racially focussed and based, the Anointing of the Holy Spirit leaves, something goes wrong! Of necessity, in many towns and cities world-wide, there needs to be Worship Services to accommodate multi-lingual environments.
In the Western World, racialism is the major enemy of the Church. In many Churches Caucasians rule, not Jesus! Anyone who is not Caucasian is seen as "foreign" and treated as an outsider. I have seen this with my own eyes, and then cried, or been angry inside. Most of the Churches I that attended throughout my times in UK I found to be racialist. I can honestly say that in all my experience of the Church in Asia, where I lived for years, I never found any racialism at all. (This could be one of the reasons that the Western Church is either dying or becoming functionally strange!)
