The question I have been asking for years, where are the Black pastors, the Black "Billy Graham" teaching, exhorting, and training up the Black youth and families today? Where are they?
I fear the few Black pastors have not surrendered to Christ and remain under the willful bondage of Black subculture. By this I mean Black pastors who claim to preach the freedom and liberation the gospel brings while seeking to maintain their Black subculture street cred.
In this manner, I believe these pastors are in actuality deceiving many and leading many astray by teaching them that they can conform to some form of godliness while denying it's power and teaching that there is no escape from racism and their supposed unequal lot in life. This is a lie from the pit of Hell.
Where are such men of God? In my life I have not seen any who reject the siren call to cling to racial bitterness and pursue a life of grace and love in Christ.
This, to me, is very disheartening.
Why do they not talk more about these men during Black History Month:
George Washington Carver
Carver viewed faith in Jesus Christ as a means of destroying both barriers of racial disharmony and social stratification. He was as concerned with his students’ character development as he was with their intellectual development. He compiled a list of eight cardinal virtues for his students to strive toward:
-Be clean both inside and out.
-Neither look up to the rich nor down on the poor.
-Lose, if need be, without squealing.
-Win without bragging.
-Always be considerate of women, children, and older people.
-Be too brave to lie.
-Be too generous to cheat.
-Take your share of the world and let others take theirs.
We happen to have one here in Chicago. If you’re inclined you can look into Corey Brooks. He’s a true blue black conservative and works like a dog to wake people up.
