Quotes:
“The Gospel restores all people's dignity. It makes us fully in the image of God through being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.” -Dr. Mason
"In the era of misinformation, in the era of information memes and urban legends, biblical literacy is a must. We cannot assume that people understand the faith." -Dr. Mason
“Urban Apologetics is not just for Black people. This is for Christians. These are books that our white brothers and sisters should be getting and teaching from also.” -Tasha
“The devil always over promises and under delivers.” -Dr. Mason
“So if repetition exegetically is a sign of biblical emphasis, then we need to emphasize what God emphasizes. And if Jesus pulls justice as a hermeneutical lens to use in interpreting the Bible, we should.” -Dr. Mason
“Justice is a reflection of God's character.” -Dr. Mason
“You can't be a Christian and not deal with justice. It's unchristian to ignore justice.” -Dr. Mason
“Can you imagine having to answer to Jesus that you left a church because the pastor was calling you to value a person because they weren't treated justly?” -Dr. Mason
“You will know racial reconciliation is happening in your church when white people can submit to Black people.” -Dr. Mason
“I think that it's very important that there be a racial IQ growth in the body of Christ.” -Dr. Mason
