Genocide in the Black Community A Biblical Perspective Bishop Vincent Mathews
Genocide in the Black Community: A Biblical Perspective | Bishop Vincent Mathews
Before anyone knew your name, God knew you.
In Genocide in the Black Community: A Biblical Perspective, Bishop Vincent Mathews examines what Scripture says about life in the womb, the protection of children, the family, spiritual warfare, and the responsibility of believers to defend vulnerable lives.
Jeremiah 1:5 declares:
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you.”
From Jeremiah to Isaiah, Job, Paul, and John the Baptist, Bishop Mathews traces the biblical theme that human life, calling, and purpose matter to God before birth.
The message then turns to Exodus 1 and the Hebrew midwives Shiphrah and Puah, who refused Pharaoh’s command to kill the Hebrew boys.
They feared God more than they feared the king.
That story also explains the biblical inspiration behind the name PUAH and Tabernacle’s commitment to supporting mothers, babies, and families.
IN THIS MESSAGE:
• Jeremiah 1:5 and God’s knowledge of us before birth
• Psalm 139 and being fearfully and wonderfully made
• Shiphrah and Puah protecting children in Exodus 1
• Pharaoh and Herod targeting children
• Matthew 18 and Jesus’ concern for “little ones”
• Why children and families matter to the Kingdom of God
• Historical examples of forced sterilization and eugenics
• Why legality and morality are not always the same thing
• The responsibility of Christians working in health care
• Protecting unborn children and children already born
• Supporting mothers who feel pressured or afraid
• Compassion and healing for women and men carrying grief from abortion
• Adoption, foster care, pregnancy support, and practical family assistance
• Ephesians 6 and recognizing the deeper spiritual battle
• Why the Church must become a place of protection, truth, mercy, and help
This message is not only about what Christians oppose.
It is also about what we must build.
We must support mothers.
We must strengthen fathers.
We must protect children.
We must help families facing financial pressure.
We must provide diapers, resources, counseling, adoption and foster support, mentoring, and practical assistance.
And where people carry regret, grief, or wounds from the past, the answer is not condemnation.
There is mercy.
There is forgiveness.
There is healing.
There is restoration in Jesus Christ.
Bishop Mathews closes with a challenge to the Church:
Be the door.
Be the place where frightened families can find protection.
Be the community that says yes to life, yes to family, yes to healing, and yes to the purpose God placed inside every person.
