Unfit To Be a Slave: Don't Believe Me, Believe Your Bible

There was a heinous act in history of lynching which sought take the mind and leave the body of those still alive, leaving one uneducated and weak to accept being a slave. In the same way, Satan from the beginning has tried to take the mind, puff up the body, and make one a slave. As Frederick Douglass said, "Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave." Let's stand on the foundation of Jesus Christ, filling our minds with the knowledge of the truth, and makes ourselves completely unfit to be a slave.
