I'm a 59 year old black woman and sadly, I find that in a lot of black " churches", there is Biblical illiteracy. They focus more on the singing and music but there is little, to no actual Bible study. That is why I appreciate a pastor like Dr.Tony Evans ; he is a TEACHER. I attend a church in the Philadelphia area and the pastor is also a Bible teacher. We study the Bible cover to cover, chapter by chapter and verse by verse. I'm alarmed at how many black people claim to be Christians but when I engage them in an in-depth conversation about the Bible, they give me a blank stare because they have no clue as to what I'm talking about.😮 Not only is it sad, but these so-called " pastors" will answer to God for failing to properly teach their congregations. Ignorance not only makes you a target of the enemy but if you are not truly redeemed, you'll miss heaven and that is the biggest tragedy of all.
Also a black pastor that I watch and get my daily bread from is Bishop Wooden. Pentecostal but Corey's favorite pentecostal. Imagine that. But seriously, check him out.
That's a discipleship opportunity. We who are biblically literate should truly be on mission to help other believers understand how to read and study the Scriptures. One believer at a time. Too often, we look poorly upon this without participating in building the body given this dire need in the Church. And it's not just black churches.
@@KanitaRutley I agree with you. That is why I take the knowledge that I learned from studying under my pastor for the past 29 years and I use every opportunity to tell people the truth of Christ. I've had medical issues my entire life, have been on dialysis for the past 26 years and in 2016, suffered a catastrophic medical crisis that left me in a coma for 3 days. I have always had a passion and urgency to tell people the truth of Christ's saving grace. A childhood friend that was a Christian, sent me some Gospel cartoon books, that tells Bible events in an easy to understand format. I order these books every month and on the back covers, I'll refer the reader to a church or other Biblical resource that is solid and in line with scripture. I've lived in 2 retirement homes and I make it a point of keeping a basket filled with these Gospel books, down in the lobby and the residents tell me how much they love and appreciate them. I hand them out everywhere I go. My original desire was to do missionary work overseas but because of my medical condition, I could not travel. My pastor told me, that everyone who crosses your path, is a mission field. My background was in Marketing, so I look for creative ways to present the Gospel and it's been so much fun. I love "being about the Father's business". ✝️😄 And HE has used me in ways that really blows my mind.
I pastor of a small Church in Chattanooga Tennessee where we play CDs every Sunday but the word of God is being taught. We do not have a choir or praise team. Sadly, many people do go to church for the music and not the word.
Corey, you hit the nail on the head, when you said they need a Gimmick to hold attention because they do not know how to preach the bible. They spend so much time preparing for a Sunday service of foolishness, but won't prepare to preach the bible and teach one's how to live it.

I, as a Black person, left the Black church for multiple reasons: 1. Too many political grandstanding, particularly from Democrat politicians. It's true that White churches do the same, particularly from Conservative Republican politicians. Too much activism as well, especially in the sermons they preach. 2. Too much entertainment, insufficient sound doctrine 3. Too much charismatic theology which steers me away and have me questioning my faith and salvation. This "name it and clain it" crap has led folks to nothing but catastrophic disappointments. 4. Too much skin color worship.
That's why I stopped attending Black church and became a Presbyterian where the teaching continues to be Bible based and fundamental and they stress being baptized in the Holy Spirit after salvation. No gimmicks and no theatrics.
In MLK's day, you wouldn't have been able to do that. And there are plenty black churches who rightly divide the Word of truth, I'm sorry you have not had that experience.

Predominantly it's known in the black churches; sadly it's so prominent because unfortunately many black pastors are not preaching the Word hence many perceive the Holy Spirit as antics that are actually the kundalini spirit instead of understanding that the Holy Spirit is Jesus and Him being with you and in you therefore showing the character of Christ daily aka long-suffering, meekness, humility etc

I do slightly disagree with you on the Criminal justice system. As a Corrections Officer for 32yrs. Minorities are given longer sentences. That being said, If an inmate was White,Black or Eskimo, they had 2 things in comon,No Father in home, and lack of money..
I attend a church with a black pastor and his wife. However, the congregation is welcome to everyone. Asian, white, black. It’s for the community, not one ethnic community. I’m black myself and I’m glad that what brings us together is Christ.
As a black man 'born and raised' in the church, I have come to realize that, even in Christianity (interestingly, if you read Acts and the books after it, you never see the apostles/believers referring to THEMSELVES as Christians, but the term was used by those OUTSIDE to refer to God's people) especially in the black church, it is seen through different 'lenses' depending on the culture. I often wonder how much slavery has affected how the black segment of the human race has viewed God, not whether we believe in Him, but WHAT we believe ABOUT Him.

Explain to me psalm 150..just to get started? I don't agree with William Murphy at all..but please help me to understand why God's people should not praise him!? David dance
thank you for telling the truth..i am 75 yo white man and baptist preacher .same as the white churches,,the ignorance to the word but they claim to be saved,.. the truth should prevail in both but it is sad that it will not ..
I am a new follower of your chanel. Love your content, I am a sister in Christ from a mixed family. Your content hits the mark of truth everytime! Praying for your ministry!
The vast majority of the sermons that we hear from Dr. King are leaning heavily towards the political. Have you ever had a chance to critique any of his pre-movement sermons to honestly assesses his doctrinal soundness? I’m not saying this is The I don’t agree with you because I’ve never heard a sermon from him that wasn’t during the civil rights movement that wasn’t full of politics and movement issues so if there are any online, I would love to hear a critique.
Dr King became so popular in a troubled time and it's possible others realized him being political could take him further....it's not by accident that many ministers are jumping into politics lying to themselves thinking they can stand for Jesus at the same time
Absolutely 💯. I pass by all of them now! It seems they died a long time ago! At 74 yrs young i have heard with my own ears how they meet and decide which folks belong to them. They start a church as a business only. The people willingness to follow to their own hurt. Most do not have enough knowledge to teach the true gospel to anyone. All people need to protect themselves and not sell out to the most entertaining place called church💯 😢🎉😢😂😂😂
i am a 70 year old black mother born and raised in the south.I left the "black" church for these same reason many years ago. If the preachers actually taught from the bible!!!. But we don't want it we like this type of sermons I grew up in that's why I left and has attended a bible reading (teaching) church. not preaching
I hate seeing a black person try to come up off the mistakes of other black people. We should be using our platforms to encourage and give words of wisdom to uplift and educate our people!
Your thrust is important in this diversely wrong generation. There is a need for correction if the future is to be secured. This is baton right here getting passed on. Keep it up brother.
Yeah, since churches are supposed to be nonprofit, non taxed, ALL churches should stop allowing ALL political candidates to come for photo opportunities or to be introduced to the congregation
Know what always strikes me about the churches who focus on “entertainment” instead of preaching? The gospel IS what’s interesting to believers! Only unbelievers would require something different to keep their attention. And church is for believers.
You almost lost me for a second when you said “the black church needs to die” I go to a predominantly black church that is scripture based and only preaches the gospel. But that was me getting in my feelings and I listened to the rest and I understood what you were saying. Just posting this to hold myself accountable and to say I agree with you.
Your so correct, if they were holy they'd pray for the unborn babies. These preacher's sold out to the government 5013C. Can't believe they'd let fani stand up in the church and tell her BS. WOE IS ME. UGHHH
100% agree with you. It pains me to. My spirit is just grieved! 😔 There are so many people that agree with you my brother, and are afraid to say it. I am not! It is important that we speak the truth there are souls at stake. This journey is not just about us but others that we encounter or can have an influence on. Keep up the good work
I'm 70 and I remember one Sunday when I was in my 40s that I got my daughter and myself dressed for church. Then I asked THE MOST HIGH CREATOR, "LORD, do I have to go? It's worse than a nightclub" THE LORD let my spirit rest. It was if he told me, "No." I have not returned to that fashion show, power play, gossip mill ever again."
Can someone tell me if Bishop Paul Morton has mentioned anything about William Murphy's decisions? Wasn't he his leader or bishop? Has any of the Full Gospel preachers spoken against his sinful allowances? I ask this in sincerity.
Some black Churches do not belong to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST but are family businesses. It is passed down through the family line to unbelieving children who saw and experienced what their parents and the elders did. So, these children are openly doing what they learnt from their parents, The Bishop. Playing Church 😳😳😳. That is the reason, I could go on but I won’t.
ALL PASTORS AND PEOPLE OF GOD MUST HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD. AND THE ONLY WAY TO BE GUIDED BY THE WORD OF GOD WE AS CALLED LEADERS NOT ONLY IN THE CHURCH BUT EVEN OTHER PARTS OF OUR LIVES. IF THE CHURCHES BE DISCIPLINED IN THE WORD THEIR HEARTS WOULD BE CONVICTED WHEN WE ERROR FROM THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD, WILL, AND WAYS. GREAT INFORMATION!
In the pulpit or out of the pulpit, they do not read the Holy Bible.. It is about the narratives, and too many of them are ignorant of narratives in the Holy Bible. True!
I agree with you re: attending Bible College/Seminary. I am planning on attending as for a Christian counseling degree. And I agree as well the Bible ignited our Spirits and kept us in dark and good times.
Bro i have tried to explain this to my wife and mother in law about why i do not go to these chruches, i always say its geared towards women and its all show no substance and i feel empty going in and coming out plus pastors trying to hit on my wofe and wanna be all buddy buddy with me it just is a cringe fest to me
Amos 8:9&11 The Eclipse 2024 Dallas And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God , that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.

The president knew he was in the house of hell. The Word of God which is Bible and gospel should have been taught, preached and prayed the entire time. Blacks need to wake up and go back to the old land mark before it is too late. I keep praying....
The government under which Jesus lived was corrupt and oppressive; on every hand were crying abuses-extortion, intolerance, and grinding cruelty. Yet the Saviour attempted no civil reforms. He attacked no national abuses, nor condemned the national enemies. He did not interfere with the authority or administration of those in power. He who was our example kept aloof from earthly governments. Not because He was indifferent to the woes of men, but because the remedy did not lie in merely human and external measures. To be efficient, the cure must reach men individually, and must regenerate the heart. Again and again Christ had been asked to decide legal and political questions. But He refused to interfere in temporal matters. Christ stood in our world as the Head of the great spiritual kingdom that He came to our world to establish-the kingdom of righteousness. His teaching made plain the ennobling, sanctifying principles that govern this kingdom. He showed that justice and mercy and love are the controlling powers in Jehovah’s kingdom. {Ellen G White - Counsels for the Church pg 314} Christ is our example, and the model in which His church is to follow.
The black church today is in apostasy not to say all but some black churches are in apostasy pastors need to be accountable for the stuff that goes on in the church.
Many black pastors are so caught up in the antics they don't even know to seek Christ to order their steps.....they are increasing while Jesus decreases
The building is not the church. The church is a body of believers and not a building. The Bible say, let the wheat and the tares grow together and Jesus will do the separating. Also don’t compare yourself with others. God knows the hearts it’s not for believers to be judgmental. The pulpit isn’t sacred nor holy.. Jesus is the Saviour not the pastors…
I somewhat agree, but, God is not dead. King David rejoiced in the Lord, in fact, he became so emotional that his robe fell off while he was dancing and his wife made fun of him. God gave us emotions. I don’t think it bothers hm as long as we are rejoicing and dancing in his presence why does it bother you Cory?
I just have one question why are there so many different denominations across this country and world and will preachers all be on the same page, after 2,000 years isn’t it time for gods people to pull it together.
We're all from the same seed as the Bible clearly states. You should be overjoyed others are attracted to your church as long as they have the spirit of Christ within. Possibly you're not a true Christian. You need to read the word and get down on your knees and praise God that your church is thriving albeit they have a leader who questions the word.
The true church of God is in the human flesh: if then the church of God is in the human flesh, and Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is To visit the fatherless and widows in their afflictions and to keep oneself unspotted from the world, James 1:27; Then, why is they saying the outside building is called church, and many run to it, and not God in JesusChrist? John 14:15, God told us through JesusChrist, If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16, And I will pray the Father, and He shall/will give you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever. 17, Even the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. They are false teachers, false preachers, and false leaders, and false pastors; which preach JesusChrist and do not his words.
@@CalledUntoHoliness Deuteronomy 8:2, All the commandments which I command thee/you this day, shall/will ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, that ye may go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your father's/forefathers. 2, And thou/you shall remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee/you these 40 years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, and to show thee what is in thy/your heart, if thou/you wouldest keep his commandments or no. 3,And he humbled thee/you, and suffered/allowed you to hunger, and fed thee with manna/or food from heaven, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he/God might make thee know that man doth not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth our of the mouth of God, also, Matthew 4:4, Luke 4:4. We can't do this in the false church building, for they keep all the people on one level.... That's why God put his church in human flesh, and sent him the Word of God, because all men have not faith. God bless you, and deliver you, from the cult like church building which man has lifted a tool upon, and defiled it, destroyed the alter, ruined it, Exodus 20:25.
Great topic. I recently told my wife that Christians have more allegiance to culture than Christianity. I have lived in Asia, Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and throughout the USA and the dominant culture has always stood out. We have to ask ourselves "why are churches so segregated in America if we all believe in the same Jesus Christ and the same Bible?" Because we put our race and culture ahead of Christianity and the only way that I will accept you is if you assimilate into my culture. So we continue to remain separated. We have even accepted the separation as "normal". Ephesians 4:4-6 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. How many Christians believe that scripture?
So true. One reason is that many of us are not reading our bibles as we should. It wasn’t until I started to read the bible for myself that I realized how much of my beliefs aligned with culture and not the word.
I believe it, and I totally agree with you. I hurts my heart to see these churches going this route, and I am sure the Lord is not too crazy about it either.
Sadly, African Americans had to start "the black church" because we were unwelcome in predominately white places of worship. Yes, it exists in our country. In other countries it exists in tribalism, classism, etc. Division is Satan's plan to reject God's vision in Revelation 7:9 vision. We serve an every tribe, tongue, and nation God. May the Church reflect the unity consistent with God's Word and heart.
"Ichabod" is written over their heads. The Spirit has left them & they don't even realize it. They're operating in their flesh! AVOID them like a bad habit😮!
@@genevieve-gh3lp That is not the church, it's a "social" gathering. Folks arrive, get a "dose" of "feel good," & leave in same condition they came in, nothing changed. "Having a "form" of Godliness, but denying the power of it." -Bro. Paul
Thank you for addressing this because it’s so important that black people understand how these politicians pander to them. Theologically sound doctrine is desperately needed in the black community.
The Holy Spirit convicted me a couple years ago of how the "race" concept was NOT Christian! He did it with Matt 12:47-50 and I now consider ONLY the quality of the doctrine and teaching as well as discernment for evaluating a church without concern for what the churchgoers look like...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am a 60 year old white man and i can tell you and i am sure you know that there are plenty of terrible predominantly white churhes out there. I have visited a few and have seen many on TV. Great video.
The black church representation was the one thing that stood alone and was a personal target to get sucked up like all else. The black leaders were meant to lead and led more than THEY BARGAINED FOR: Oh well!
Thank you, brother, for being bold enough to tell the truth.

I do slightly disagree with you on the Criminal justice system. As a Corrections Officer for 32yrs. Minorities are given longer sentences. That being said, If an inmate was White,Black or Eskimo, they had 2 things in comon,No Father in home, and lack of money..
Could it be the difference in the FACT? Could it be that more often than not, they are reoffenders or warnings or had been on probation?
I attend a church with a black pastor and his wife. However, the congregation is welcome to everyone. Asian, white, black. It’s for the community, not one ethnic community. I’m black myself and I’m glad that what brings us together is Christ.
As a black man 'born and raised' in the church, I have come to realize that, even in Christianity (interestingly, if you read Acts and the books after it, you never see the apostles/believers referring to THEMSELVES as Christians, but the term was used by those OUTSIDE to refer to God's people) especially in the black church, it is seen through different 'lenses' depending on the culture. I often wonder how much slavery has affected how the black segment of the human race has viewed God, not whether we believe in Him, but WHAT we believe ABOUT Him.
Former Muslim radical radical for Jesus… between this channel and Gino Jenning I finally found a good teaching THE TRUTH … my motto now after being allover seeking HIS Majesty I study THE BIBLE ALONE … GLORY THE GOD !
I now go straight to THE MASTER not THE PASTOR!!! JESUS IS ALIVE HALLELUJAH ❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️

Thank you so much for making us aware of how much we don’t truly know
Hi mechelle Good evening. I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌺🌺
Emotionalism!!!!!
Bro. Corey, you words are stinging but true. Its sadden me to see how naive black people can be. Easy to lead . Thanks for being so 💪 strong. God bless you and your family ❤
I appreciate your honesty keep on exposing deception hallelujah!
Explain to me psalm 150..just to get started? I don't agree with William Murphy at all..but please help me to understand why God's people should not praise him!? David dance
thank you for telling the truth..i am 75 yo white man and baptist preacher .same as the white churches,,the ignorance to the word but they claim to be saved,.. the truth should prevail in both but it is sad that it will not ..
I am a new follower of your chanel. Love your content, I am a sister in Christ from a mixed family. Your content hits the mark of truth everytime! Praying for your ministry!
The vast majority of the sermons that we hear from Dr. King are leaning heavily towards the political. Have you ever had a chance to critique any of his pre-movement sermons to honestly assesses his doctrinal soundness? I’m not saying this is The I don’t agree with you because I’ve never heard a sermon from him that wasn’t during the civil rights movement that wasn’t full of politics and movement issues so if there are any online, I would love to hear a critique.
Dr King became so popular in a troubled time and it's possible others realized him being political could take him further....it's not by accident that many ministers are jumping into politics lying to themselves thinking they can stand for Jesus at the same time
Absolutely 💯. I pass by all of them now! It seems they died a long time ago! At 74 yrs young i have heard with my own ears how they meet and decide which folks belong to them. They start a church as a business only. The people willingness to follow to their own hurt. Most do not have enough knowledge to teach the true gospel to anyone. All people need to protect themselves and not sell out to the most entertaining place called church💯 😢🎉😢😂😂😂
Politicians walking in with the notion that they top rank and above the promise. Really?
When will we EVER wake up? We are so deceived.
I would love to see these Pastor's book of rememberance that is be recorded on them.
i am a 70 year old black mother born and raised in the south.I left the "black" church for these same reason many years ago. If the preachers actually taught from the bible!!!. But we don't want it we like this type of sermons I grew up in that's why I left and has attended a bible reading (teaching) church. not preaching
Thank you Dr. King for your sacrifice and for letting the Lord lead you. You changed this country and the world.
I hate seeing a black person try to come up off the mistakes of other black people. We should be using our platforms to encourage and give words of wisdom to uplift and educate our people!
Father forgive us for we all know not what we do.
Your thrust is important in this diversely wrong generation. There is a need for correction if the future is to be secured. This is baton right here getting passed on. Keep it up brother.
Im 11 minutes into this video. This man is speaking truth. ❤
Yeah, since churches are supposed to be nonprofit, non taxed, ALL churches should stop allowing ALL political candidates to come for photo opportunities or to be introduced to the congregation
Poison in the black church for sure; poison in the white church too, it just looks different.
Watched this video from beginning to end. You blew my mind with this one. 👏 👏 👏
Know what always strikes me about the churches who focus on “entertainment” instead of preaching? The gospel IS what’s interesting to believers! Only unbelievers would require something different to keep their attention. And church is for believers.
You almost lost me for a second when you said “the black church needs to die” I go to a predominantly black church that is scripture based and only preaches the gospel. But that was me getting in my feelings and I listened to the rest and I understood what you were saying. Just posting this to hold myself accountable and to say I agree with you.
Your so correct, if they were holy they'd pray for the unborn babies. These preacher's sold out to the government 5013C. Can't believe they'd let fani stand up in the church and tell her BS. WOE IS ME. UGHHH
100% agree with you. It pains me to. My spirit is just grieved! 😔 There are so many people that agree with you my brother, and are afraid to say it. I am not! It is important that we speak the truth there are souls at stake. This journey is not just about us but others that we encounter or can have an influence on. Keep up the good work
Lol Biden standing there like a fish out of water. 😅
I'm 70 and I remember one Sunday when I was in my 40s that I got my daughter and myself dressed for church. Then I asked THE MOST HIGH CREATOR, "LORD, do I have to go? It's worse than a nightclub" THE LORD let my spirit rest. It was if he told me, "No." I have not returned to that fashion show, power play, gossip mill ever again."
I was born in 1977 and none of my family members wanted Abortions to be abolished and never used it n family said it’s murder
Its not just the black churches. Lets be clear. Smh...
Yeah Pres Biden looked uncomfortable, he’s Catholic so this was overstimulating for him
Man, I really like you, brother! You have some great commentary here in this video, and I appreciate it.
Brother Corey is the TRUTH 🙏🏽
Hi Cori
Well done brother,great presentation,...black,white,or yellow apostasy is still apostasy and we must call it out....Yah bless
If you get the opportunity to pray for the president, pray for his salvation before you pray for anything else.
The black church has not taught us the truth. Thank you for this discourse
Goid insight. Confirming my observations recently. It's truly a trend only God knows.
Can someone tell me if Bishop Paul Morton has mentioned anything about William Murphy's decisions? Wasn't he his leader or bishop? Has any of the Full Gospel preachers spoken against his sinful allowances? I ask this in sincerity.
The one and only true church resides in the hearts of true individual believers, not in a building built by men.
Some black Churches do not belong to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST but are family businesses.
It is passed down through the family line to unbelieving children who saw and experienced what their parents and the elders did. So, these children are openly doing what they learnt from their parents, The Bishop. Playing Church 😳😳😳.
That is the reason, I could go on but I won’t.
I read that Friderick Von Bonhoffer loved the black church. He thought they were so spiritual and real.
Decades ago.
ALL PASTORS AND PEOPLE OF GOD MUST HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD. AND THE ONLY WAY TO BE GUIDED BY THE WORD OF GOD WE AS CALLED LEADERS NOT ONLY IN THE CHURCH BUT EVEN OTHER PARTS OF OUR LIVES. IF THE CHURCHES BE DISCIPLINED IN THE WORD THEIR HEARTS WOULD BE CONVICTED WHEN WE ERROR FROM THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD, WILL, AND WAYS. GREAT INFORMATION!
I’ve never seen a frat anything at a white church.
The man with the sorority jacket. That's a red flag! Along with what spewed out of his mouth.
In the pulpit or out of the pulpit, they do not read the Holy Bible.. It is about the narratives, and too many of them are ignorant of narratives in the Holy Bible. True!
What I been wanting to say for a long time Corey.
I agree with you re: attending Bible College/Seminary. I am planning on attending as for a Christian counseling degree. And I agree as well the Bible ignited our Spirits and kept us in dark and good times.
First and foremost, the church is not in a building...the church is within the person.
My brother. You are 💯🎯💯🎯🙌🏿🙌🏿 on this one.
Bro i have tried to explain this to my wife and mother in law about why i do not go to these chruches, i always say its geared towards women and its all show no substance and i feel empty going in and coming out plus pastors trying to hit on my wofe and wanna be all buddy buddy with me it just is a cringe fest to me
Amos 8:9&11 The Eclipse 2024 Dallas
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God , that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day. V11: Behold,the days come,saith the Lord God that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS of the LORD! That time is here now!Lord help us!
The president knew he was in the house of hell. The Word of God which is Bible and gospel should have been taught, preached and prayed the entire time. Blacks need to wake up and go back to the old land mark before it is too late. I keep praying....
The government under which Jesus lived was corrupt and oppressive; on every hand were crying abuses-extortion, intolerance, and grinding cruelty. Yet the Saviour attempted no civil reforms. He attacked no national abuses, nor condemned the national enemies. He did not interfere with the authority or administration of those in power. He who was our example kept aloof from earthly governments. Not because He was indifferent to the woes of men, but because the remedy did not lie in merely human and external measures. To be efficient, the cure must reach men individually, and must regenerate the heart.
Again and again Christ had been asked to decide legal and political questions. But He refused to interfere in temporal matters. Christ stood in our world as the Head of the great spiritual kingdom that He came to our world to establish-the kingdom of righteousness. His teaching made plain the ennobling, sanctifying principles that govern this kingdom. He showed that justice and mercy and love are the controlling powers in Jehovah’s kingdom. {Ellen G White - Counsels for the Church pg 314}
Christ is our example, and the model in which His church is to follow.
The black church today is in apostasy not to say all but some black churches are in apostasy pastors need to be accountable for the stuff that goes on in the church.
Many black pastors are so caught up in the antics they don't even know to seek Christ to order their steps.....they are increasing while Jesus decreases
I left the black church 21 years ago I saw the scalding hot mess it has become don't want no parts of that
The building is not the church. The church is a body of believers and not a building. The Bible say, let the wheat and the tares grow together and Jesus will do the separating. Also don’t compare yourself with others. God knows the hearts it’s not for believers to be judgmental. The pulpit isn’t sacred nor holy.. Jesus is the Saviour not the pastors…
These type of churches make the devil's work so easy.
What the heck does Biden and Willis have to do with black churches? See it right
I somewhat agree, but, God is not dead. King David rejoiced in the Lord, in fact, he became so emotional that his robe fell off while he was dancing and his wife made fun of him. God gave us emotions. I don’t think it bothers hm as long as we are rejoicing and dancing in his presence why does it bother you Cory?
Read, Caught by the Collar; How Some Christians are led to Believe a False Gospel by Dr. Eugene Akins
I for one do not agree with bringing politics into any church.. def not during election season and the DA from GA is just a mess..
Sir, you are speaking FACTS...
The bible say our father in heaven . Not, our mother gods in heaven. That preacher is not inspired by the " holy spirit".
Enlightening. Thank you. And yes, I'm white as rice.
I just have one question why are there so many different denominations across this country and world and will preachers all be on the same page, after 2,000 years isn’t it time for gods people to pull it together.
One thing for sure they ain't going down to the river to pray. The separation of church and state is not them coming in your church talking politics
We're all from the same seed as the Bible clearly states. You should be overjoyed others are attracted to your church as long as they have the spirit of Christ within. Possibly you're not a true Christian. You need to read the word and get down on your knees and praise God that your church is thriving albeit they have a leader who questions the word.
Unfortunately, church, in general, has gotten to be a place to get entertained rather than seeking to worship Yahuah...
This had to be sad. God help us and open the eyes of the (spiritual) blind 😢
Thanks for telling it like it is ✝️
I regard it as a black congregation. Jesus defined the church when speaking to Peter.
Yeah, have you seen those young people that kicks the Bible around? Literally!
All teaching in the Church ⛪️ need to be biblical based and Holy Spirit filled
The true church of God is in the human flesh: if then the church of God is in the human flesh, and Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is To visit the fatherless and widows in their afflictions and to keep oneself unspotted from the world, James 1:27;
Then, why is they saying the outside building is called church, and many run to it, and not God in JesusChrist?
John 14:15, God told us through JesusChrist, If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16, And I will pray the Father, and He shall/will give you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever.
17, Even the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
They are false teachers, false preachers, and false leaders, and false pastors; which preach JesusChrist and do not his words.
This is not a church.

We can't do this in the false church building, for they keep all the people on one level.... That's why God put his church in human flesh, and sent him the Word of God, because all men have not faith. God bless you, and deliver you, from the cult like church building which man has lifted a tool upon, and defiled it, destroyed the alter, ruined it, Exodus 20:25.

Apostate Church!
You are right, the Pastor needs to be taught and disciplined in Doctrine and lead by the Holy Spirit
Politicians should NEVER speak in the worship service... God is a jealous God the service, the worship, the word is all about Him period 💪🏾💋
Amen !!!
Amen! Am glad to hear you say “God is a jealous God”; I say this all the time. It’s true; he wants us to worship him and him only.
Amen
Amen.

Great topic. I recently told my wife that Christians have more allegiance to culture than Christianity. I have lived in Asia, Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and throughout the USA and the dominant culture has always stood out. We have to ask ourselves "why are churches so segregated in America if we all believe in the same Jesus Christ and the same Bible?" Because we put our race and culture ahead of Christianity and the only way that I will accept you is if you assimilate into my culture. So we continue to remain separated. We have even accepted the separation as "normal". Ephesians 4:4-6
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
How many Christians believe that scripture?
I do!🙌🏾
So true. One reason is that many of us are not reading our bibles as we should. It wasn’t until I started to read the bible for myself that I realized how much of my beliefs aligned with culture and not the word.
I believe it, and I totally agree with you. I hurts my heart to see these churches going this route, and I am sure the Lord is not too crazy about it either.
Sadly, African Americans had to start "the black church" because we were unwelcome in predominately white places of worship. Yes, it exists in our country. In other countries it exists in tribalism, classism, etc. Division is Satan's plan to reject God's vision in Revelation 7:9 vision. We serve an every tribe, tongue, and nation God. May the Church reflect the unity consistent with God's Word and heart.
Amen! 🙌
Did he really say, "wake up and stop being so spiritual?" that would be a reason to use discernment and run far away
"Ichabod" is written over their heads. The Spirit has left them & they don't even realize it. They're operating in their flesh! AVOID them like a bad habit😮!
Wish he would have used the word worldly.
Not spiritual
@@genevieve-gh3lp That is not the church, it's a "social" gathering. Folks arrive, get a "dose" of "feel good," & leave in same condition they came in, nothing changed. "Having a "form" of Godliness, but denying the power of it." -Bro. Paul

Voddie is no joke!
Thank you for addressing this because it’s so important that black people understand how these politicians pander to them. Theologically sound doctrine is desperately needed in the black community.
Politicians pander to anyone who'd listen... i.e. Trump and the GOP and white evangelicals.
Am I More Christian than Black? I am definitely more Christian than Black. My black culture does not rank higher than Christ.
Amen, Christ over culture as culture is simply a blend of stereotypes and ideological concepts that lead many to hell regardless of race
Isnt Christ Black. It’s still Black culture
@@Fortune332Isn’t Christ Black? How would anyone today know the answer to that?
Thank you for that. Many think the opposite and are stuck in this kind of worldly thinking.
The Holy Spirit convicted me a couple years ago of how the "race" concept was NOT Christian! He did it with Matt 12:47-50 and I now consider ONLY the quality of the doctrine and teaching as well as discernment for evaluating a church without concern for what the churchgoers look like...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am a 60 year old white man and i can tell you and i am sure you know that there are plenty of terrible predominantly white churhes out there. I have visited a few and have seen many on TV. Great video.

The black church representation was the one thing that stood alone and was a personal target to get sucked up like all else.
The black leaders were meant to lead and led more than THEY BARGAINED FOR:
Oh well!
