The Pope of the Catholic Church recently claimed that the rejection of poor, illegal immigrants into the US was a sin and not in accord with the gospel..
Paul proclaimed that the Gospel of Jesus Christ was the power of God unto salvation (Rom. 1:16). However, many within today's church have reduced the Gospel to politics, and social morality defining terms to suit as we see with Catholicism. Is the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ solely a spiritual message? Or is the gospel merely one of "social justice" or material "equilibrium"? How is this discerned and more, how is it applied to our current condition?
Pastor Burnett takes a deep dive into what the Bible says about the subject and why there is yet power in the word of truth which is able to not only save souls but produce life in the lives of believers.
It amazes me to hear many of my fellow Black ministers attempt to reconcile the murder of Charlie Kirk with God's justice and even more, with the Law of Attraction. It certainly lets me know why the Black church has lost much of her influence in the world and nearly all of her power with God. WE ARE A BACKSLIDDEN CHURCH! Churches led by White ministers and suburban congregations have always had issues, but we have fallen a long way even into the enjoyment of public executions. Seems that we would be the last ones to enjoy or relish over such displays after all that has been done to us, as a Black community even in the post civil war era. Shameful!
The sad part is that some don't even recognize what Charlie Kirk was doing and what his ministry was. Many didn't understand that he not only had a political mission, but that he was also a Christian apologist. Further, many have no clue as to what true community engagement is, or how to preach, teach and stand for the gospel outside of the 4 walls of the church or to them that disagree, and or what the gospel ultimately means.
Instead, many Black ministers have resorted to a culturally centered and culturally sensitive gospel based on their perception of racism, which has been redefined by them to suit their audience. This type of Black theology, in many instances is led by sinners, who cannot spiritually perceive the door and know little about the gospel and them that delivered it in holy writ.
I admit. Charlie Kirk cannot be compared to Malcom X, or Dr. MLKing...Why? Because CHARLIE PREACHED THE GOSPEL and was faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ in message and in deed.Certainly many Black ministers preach truth and live the same as well, however the problem is that too many, both ethnic and urban, both Black and White, use the gospel as a means to a personal end. I'll expound on this in my next article.
Charlie did what Paul did, he went to Mars Hill and preached and helped changed the world and shook the devil from his foundation. These preachers are FREE to speak in disapproval of him as they chose because of people like Mr. Kirk that promoted a free and fair exchange of ideals and values.
Don't like me and my commentary or assessment? Join the club...you ain't heard nothing yet!
Below, enjoy the debate and effort to do what we should be doing...win the lost (as opposed to preaching to folk who already agree with us or basing what we preach on ethnicity or even gender)
1-There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 -And Jesus...
