No Difference

“For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile, the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him” – Romans 10:12

Dr Richard LaPiere spent his professional career at Stanford University, researching, writing, and teaching sociology from 1929 to 1965. In 1934, he sent out letters to the managers of 256 hotels and restaurants across the southern half of the U.S. He told them that he was planning to tour the south with two Chinese companions and he wanted to know ahead of time whether they would be served. Ninety-two percent of the businesses replied that they did not serve Chinese and that La Piere could save himself considerable embarrassment by not showing up with such undesirables. He wasn’t surprised. Racial prejudice was a part of southern life in the 1930s, and this was long before a ban was placed on discrimination in interstate commerce. LaPiere ignored the managers’ advice, however. Accompanied by a Chinese man and his wife, he visited every one of the establishments that said they’d refuse service. Surprise! Ninety-nine percent of the places admitted the oriental couple, and almost all did so without a hassle…LaPiere’s study points up something that’s a consistent finding in the field of persuasion–that a person may say he feels one thing, and then turn right around and do something completely different.

There is no difference between men; Jesus Christ desires ALL to be saved. Thank the Lord that in His eyes, there are no differences between people.

Prejudice is a learned trait. You’re not born prejudiced; you’re taught it.

“Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.” Deuteronomy 16:19
