Forgive me if I did not make myself clear "wrhalver". I understand that the "black" and the "white" church exsist, I also understand that our soul is to be presented in the last day for judgement, but it is not for me, or anyone, to judge the eternal soul of one man or another, that is Gods job. My job is to present the truth of the Gospel, be a vessel for the use of the Master, and keep myself from throwing stones as the pharasises did. This is not to say that I should not stand and be counted for rightousness sake, because I will war with you. I am saying "that the greatest commandment is love", and to love without condition by the Spirit of God is more powerful than denomination, color of skin, theological background, and any weapon the adversary can use. The Word of God is the most powerful weapon ever fashioned, and I desire to stewart it as the principle foundation for every word I speak and the life I live. In saying that, my first obligation is to look at the plank in my own eye, and see that the same God that loves me loves my brother or my sister who is struggling under deception. So I pray for their deliverance, and I pray for their soul, because I know that without repentance what the Word of God says will happen. That is my cry, my heart for the people of God, meet at the cross and see that sin is sin, no one sin God says is ok, and we are all in need of His love grace, and salvation. So I work out my salvation with fear and trembling before God. Put down the stones and love your neighbor as yourself. Pray for your brother, and love on the lost that they might see the transforming work of the Lord our God.

I am so grieved by this. We are supposed to be the Church of Jesus Christ, and I see on here self professing believers using terms like the "black church" or the "white church", purposefully using terminology that is divisive. Regardless of what Mr. Wright, which is un-Christ-like with out question, were is the church that loves his brother and prays for his soul. Were is the church that comes together and rallies for the congregation that has been fed by this man. Were is the church that stands on the rock of their salvation and weeps for their family that is blind and lost in the doctrines of men. Church, let us rise and find the dividing lines that separate us from the power of unity in Christ and crush them by the Spirit of God, and in doing so we will win back a nation and reap the harvest of souls that is waiting and dying for the truth.
