As we celebrate Black History Month, I have a question for you. What defines you? Do you define your Christianity by you color, or culture; are you a Christian who happens to be a certain color, or culture? As an African-American Christian, or the way I like to say it a Christian who just happens to be African-American. It is important that we allow the Word of God to define us not society. The moment you accepted Christ as your personal savior our position shifted from earthly to Kingdom. But, as we celebrate Black History month, I am consistently torn as to how to broach this topic with the body of Christ. Eleven o'clock on Sunday is still one of the most segregated hours in America, and too often Whites do not understand the injustices Blacks in their congregation face.
How is the church going to bring Light to a dying world when the Church seems to lack unity and love. Could it be that Christians are not free to discuss racial issues? News flash racism is a sin, and it is no less important than fornication, adultery, lying, or paying our tithe etc., yet it is overlook. The church must take a stand black churches, white churches all churches and settle this issue, God desires unity. The Body of Christ must not allow Satan to bring disunity in the Body of Christ. This is a silent killer Satan uses to divide and conquer. Let us not forget we wrestle not against flesh and blood. Listen this week as we seek the mind and heart of God as to how to approach sickness in the church, and bring glory to the Kingdom of God.
