My 7-year-old African-American friend Tobias asked me a thought-provoking question the other day: Since Adam and Eve were white, where did black people come from? When I told him we dont know what color they were and asked him why he thought they were white, he said thats what he always saw in Bible-story books at church and in the library. My heart sank. I wondered if that might make him think he was inferior or possibly not even created by the Lord.
All people have their roots in the Creator God, and therefore all are equal. Thats what the apostle Paul told the Athenians: [God] has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth (Acts 17:26). We are all from one blood. Darrell Bock, in his commentary on the book of Acts, says, This affirmation would be hard for the Athenians, who prided themselves in being a superior people, calling others barbarians. However, because we all descended from our first parents, Adam and Eve, no race nor ethnicity is superior or inferior to another.
We stand in awe of our Creator, who made us and gives to all life, breath, and all things (v.25). Equal in Gods sight, we together praise and honor Him.
Read: Acts 17:22-31

I enjoy the tunes very much. Seeing Laurence Welk brings back the memory of our first black and white TV in 1960. My mother loved that show and bought anything he advertised. I’ll never forget the Geritol she made me and my three little sisters take. Awful stuff.
Wishing everyone at the canteen & lurkers a peaceful and safe weekend. God bless you all. - Cindy
