sociologically defined, when referring to the diversities

            of  humankind.  Replacing  that  discredited  term  and
            others  like  it,  with  Biblically  correct  terms  such  as
            humanity,  humankind,  GOD’s  family,  diverse  members

            of the same family, or any similar term  can eventually
            influence  how  we  all  think  about  humanity,  which

            ultimately aligns us with HIS Kingdom Agenda.       92, 93


            Power  speech  –  The tongue has  the power of  life and
            death, and those who love it will eat its fruit, Proverbs
            18:21(NIV).     This is a powerful truth and must not be

            taken lightly!  What we speak both aligns us with GOD
            and thus releases HIS protections, blessings and covering

            over us, or  it aligns  us  with the Dark Realm. The Dark

            to grant this enemy power over us. We must be careful
            since  what  we  speak  sows  a  seed  that  will  produce  a

            harvest in our minds, hearts, and life.

            This  is  an  important  principle  for  Christians  and  the

            Church Body as a whole to remember when responding
            to “racial” strife and incidents of perceived or actual so-

            called racial injustice. Its opportunities like these when
            the Church can lead in a very tangible way!  Certainly,

            we  do  not  discount  the  pain,  but  instead  of  repeating
            media  driven  narratives,  political  assertions,  and  mob

            chanting’s, we speak the Truth of GOD. The Church must
