Racist thought and behavior ignores the fact that each person is created in the image of God.  God does not create some people to be less valuable or more valuable than others. When we are prejudiced against a particular group of people because of how they look or how they speak, we grieve God. It is not His will for us to discriminate on the basis of a person’s skin color or their ethnicity.

While our nation has made discernible progress in the area of race relations, we have many miles to go. Improvement in this area must start in the body of Christ. If believers are prejudiced, how can we expect anything more from society-at-large?

The [**impact** resource on racial reconciliation](http://ilivevalues.com/documents/impact/iMPACT-race.pdf) is full-color and [available here as a downloadable pdf](http://ilivevalues.com/documents/impact/iMPACT-race.pdf). It may be output to a color or black and white printer or copied to a CD and printed at a local copy center. You may make as many copies as you need. While the [**impact**](http://ilivevalues.com/documents/impact/iMPACT-race.pdf) is designed to be copied front and back as a single sheet, it can also be a two-page stapled resource.
