So we’re talking about the “black church”? Pt. 1
The New Testament doesn’t imagine a black and a white Church mean-mugging each other across a color line. It imagines one new humanity in Christ, Jews and Gentiles (Black and White included) brought into “one body” when He tore down the dividing wall of hostility. If the cross was strong enough to break Yahweh’s own covenant people out of their ethnic hostility and remake them as one people, what exactly is our excuse? At what point did we decide that the blood of Jesus Christ can reconcile Jew and Gentile, but has to tiptoe carefully around black and white churches?
That doesn’t mean pretending color doesn’t exist either. Revelation gives us a picture of a multitude from “every nation, tribe, people and language” standing before the Lamb, not a washed‑out gray mass with no story and no scars. Yahweh is not ashamed of the journey He walked with African‑descended people in America. He’s not embarrassed by the songs we sang in fields and storefronts. But in that final vision, no one is chanting “black Church” or “white Church.” Every tongue is busy with one name. The name above all names, Jesus Christ.
The Revolution begins…
Revolutionary Ministry Concepts is back, positioned and prepared for the mandate: Reformation, Reconciliation, Restoration (more on this on a later post). Armed with prayer, a ministry hub, and a renewed revelation of insights and solutions, we come to not only ignite the discussion, but challenge the conformity and complicity that’s contributing to the divide, and more obvious, the mutation of the Church of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
