James 2:9 How do we Neighbor those different from us? 1) Recognize any PREJUDICES. • Prejudice: (prejudging) preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience. 2) Seek to UNDERSTAND others. 3) Love those DIFFERENT from you. • Racism isn’t just the presence of HATRED - It’s the absence of LOVE.
