African-American Churches; Pay your tithes and offering, but what about the Community. (1085 hits)


African-American Churches; Pay your tithes and offering, but what about the Community.
Staff -

(ThyBlackMan.com) Where are the Black Churches, and where are all of the millions of dollars in tithes they’re collecting every Sunday going? Black preachers do a great job of giving inspirational speeches, and telling us to “forgive, forget, and put all of the atrocities committed against us in God’s Hands,” but we’ve been doing that for over 400 years, and the same kind thing keeps happening over and over again. So it seems to me that, that constitutes a message from God – that he help those who help themselves. So while quivering voices and inspirational speeches may be soothing, they’re not improving our situation, and they’re not what we need at this point in our history. We need action.

God did his part when he gave us common sense. Now it’s our job to use it, and recognize that the very same people who are victimizing us are the ones who taught us to moan, quiver, and shout, while they had us tied up next to the mules.

That’s what kept us docile, and it’s still keeping us docile. Yet, if that’s what we’ve become accustomed to, there’s plenty of time for shouting and quivering oratory on Sunday. But reverend, the relevant question is, what are you doing OTHER than quivering and shouting to help the community Monday thru Saturday? I think that’s what the Lord would ask.
