That is my message to this paster and all the others that in a similar place. Don't go to the wolf for reassurance, go to GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He will lead you. This is a clear message to the black race from God "Do not place other idols before me!" Obviously this paster isn't hearing it. He goes to his graven idol/image for consolation.
How can these 'pastors' hearts be broken by a sinner? We are all sinners, yet these 'pastors' created themselves an idol out of man, simply due to the melanin content of his skin. Trust in God alone.
They knew this man was not a Christian (or they should have known), yet due to the hue of his skin color, they exulted him as someone to follow. If they had kept in God's Word, they would not have been surprised or 'heart broken'.
Bump to the top!
