also  promote  personal  growth  and  professional

            development.

            Consequently,  emotional  indicators  of  this  race-based

            performance  identity  include  fear  of  failure,  guilt,
            perfectionism,  risk-avoidance,  and  anxiety.  Even  so,

            once  performance  wanes,  acceptance  diminishes,  and
            with it, self-confidence, and self-worth.


            Another  unfortunate  consequence  of  race-based
            identity  is  the  “celebrate  diversity”  deception.  This

            becomes  a  problem  when  embracing  our  cultural
            diversities becomes predominate over the CREATOR of

            diversity.    We  can  become  deceived  thinking  that
            celebrating diversity is a good thing; and it is…up to the

            point  when  it  becomes  our  identity.    It  becomes  a
            spiritual problem when race-based culture becomes an
            idol.  Even Christians can fall into this trap. For example,

            if someone describes themselves as an Asian-Christian,
            or  Black-Christian,  or  Irish-Christian,  etc.,  they  have

            modified  their  Christianity  based  on  a  secular  culture.
            They have in fact, subjugated their Christian faith, and

            thus ALMIGHTY GOD to the world.  Biblically, we know
            that GOD makes no  such distinctions; why should we?

            Tragically, this is in fact idolatry. Do you see the forces of
            the Dark Realm in operation here?
