A Baptist church in Kentucky appears to be determined to vote to exclude inter-racial couples from membership and particpating in church activities. I only mention the Baptist affiliation because I want to make it clear it was not the Lord's church.
The Bible says,
Since all men are one blood, all nationalities and cultures are the same in God's eyes.
Nothing said here about the color of one's skin.
"All men" means all men are commanded to obey regardless of color.
Again, God makes no distinction as to color. If He doesn't make a distinction and He accepts all who do His will, what gives me the right to go beyond Him and honor one color or race above another?
Nothing. Nada. Zip. Period.
If a person's color matters, even within a color group there are differences in color. What is the "proper" color in any group? Even within the "white" group there are wide variations. Some are darker than I, some are lighter. Are the lighter whites superior to the darker whites? Am I superior to some whites and inferior to other whites because of our coloration?
God only cares about the color of our hearts and the color of our souls. It is shameful when those professing Christ's name reject people because of the color of their skin rather than the color of their hearts.
The Monticello church of Christ doesn't care what color you are. Red, yellow, black, green, doesn't matter. all are welcome. Inter-racial or mixed families, come on in, sit down and worship with us. We have room for you, period.
No voting you in or out. We leave all that up to God. (Acts 2:47) All we're concerned about is doing His will. (John 4:24)
