Pastor Harry Jackson has an excellent op/ed piece through Christian Breaking News. He speaks of a shaking of the "black" church and "white" church and time of God's chastening and chastisement.
True Christianity has no color line. It doesn't matter whether it is a black church, a white church, a brown church or a yellow church. True Christianity reflects only one color - a red Jesus church. A black man would be more than welcomed in a white Jesus Church. A white man would be more than welcomed in a black Jesus Church.
It's time that we stop talking about color and talking about Jesus.
Jesus would be welcomed in any "Jesus" church regardless of his color. He would preach the same message with a different flavor or style. He would vote the same way on important moral social issues no matter what color.
I welcome black churches that keep their spirited singing and enthusiasm in preaching and praise. I welcome blended churches that have worship in many different cultural areas. I welcome conservative white churches who sing traditional songs and keep the fires aglow of long past reformations.
If Christians would stop looking at the past and start looking towards the future and the difference they could make in the next generation - we wouldn't need to have any discussion about Jeremiah Wright, a man who lives in the past and holds on to unforgiveness of the past.
True Christians will recognize one another regardless of the color. They will accept one another. Carnal Christians will evaluate a man or woman based not only on color, but on status and affluence. The church, sadly has both types of Christians.
A Jesus Church has only one color - red that stands for His blood that is in our veins that unites us as brothers and sister in Christ.
We have never felt discriminated against from a true brother or sister in Christ!
Time for the church to be blended not physically, but in their heart.
