the Race is not given to...any Race

Could Christian congregations be a source for intentionally/unintentionally teaching racism? Outside of demographically speaking, should there be a such thing as: Hispanic Christians, Asian Christians, white Christians, black Christians, etc.?  Each culture has a distinct style but should this be used to divide the body of Christ? For you are all children of GOD through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26-28

Obey Your Thirst

"GOD blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied...As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O GOD.  I thirst for GOD, the living GOD.  When can I go stand before Him...Jesus replied, Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again.  But those who drink the water I give them will never be thirsty again...And let him who thirst come.  Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely." Matt 5:6, Psalm 42:1-2, John 4:13-14a, Rev 22:17b

Since this principle is true, in that if i look to GOD to quench my thirst I will never be thirsty again, then what does it mean when I am a believer who's seeking GOD and coming to Him yet have this constant feeling of being spiritually dehydrated?
