I was raised in a black missionary church in the south and this reminds me so much of it

[@ericawesomo]

I could listen to this all day. So powerful.

[@allbetsRoff60]

This is what I wished more were raised on today, not enough of us really know what it really mean to be truly redeemed.

This took me back to my childhood in the 70's at Mount Olive 1st Baptist Church of Baton Rouge Louisiana. The late Reverend Calvin Collins was the pastor. Lord we had church on Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. and communion service every 1st Sunday at 6:00 p.m. no air conditioning. Only the fans in Windows and we was having Church. Shouting was in the house, singing and preaching was there also. I really enjoyed those 2 ladies leading the song.

"A good man though a slave is free a wicked man though free is a slave." St Augustine. True freedom is being a slave to a perfect Master The Christ.
