A good church serves as a sanctuary of repentance and a source of courage against an unrighteous world.
That's how I imagined Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his generation using the so-called black church. Or was it?
While we celebrate MLK's life and legacy today, I don't see how the civil rights movement really used the church. Judge a tree by its fruit. Today, the black church is far more obedient to political doctrine than to biblical doctrine, and far more concerned with political rebellion than with spiritual repentance.
Dr. King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. From 1960 until his assassination in 1968, Dr. King served as co-pastor with his father at his Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. The roots of his tree are in Atlanta. Atlanta fruit is bad. Big Peach is known as the “Black Gay Mecca” and is the southern home of gangsta rap music.
Black churches in Atlanta serve as platforms for Democratic Party policies, including abortion rights, the LGBTQ movement, and the destruction of the patriarchy.
So it was no surprise that on Sunday, embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis took shelter inside Big Bethel AME Church. Her political opponents have accused her of hiring her alleged lover, Nathan Wade, to prosecute former President Donald Trump on charges of election interference.
Loving Obama, hating Trump is the underlying inspiration for a new doctrine to guide the black church.
Wade is married. Willis' office approved a $654,000 payment to Wade. Willis' critics claim Wade used the money to fund lavish vacations for himself and Willis.
Far from repenting, Willis took to the pulpit at Big Bethel and defiantly accused his critics of being racist.
“First they say, 'Oh, she's going to play the race card now.' But no, God, aren't they the ones who are playing the race card with just one question? ” Willis said. “I think it’s on their playing card that I always think I need someone from some other jurisdiction in some other state to teach me how to do the job that I’ve been doing for almost 30 years. ?”
Willis says he is only interrogating “one” of his hired employees, excluding two white lawyers Willis hired to prosecute Trump, John Floyd and Anna Greene Cross. There is. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Mr. Floyd was paid $73,000 and Mr. Cross was paid $43,000. Note: Georgia taxpayers paid $654,000 to Willis' alleged lover.
Willis wasn't finished. She concluded her 35-minute sermon with this:
We are at a point in history where we can no longer sit back and let others do it. You can't expect black women to be perfect and save the world. The Lord is completing us. we are not perfect. I need your prayers. We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. With such support, we can move mountains and stumble all the way to do the will of Jesus. So this flawed, hard-headed, imperfect child has a message for each of you today. Please find ways to carry out the extraordinary mission God has given you and make this community and world better for all of God's people.
The Big Bethel congregation applauded throughout Mr. Willis' stump speech. This woman sleeps and vacations with a married man, and she spends his tax money to “save the world.”
This is shameful. She did not come to church for her repentance. She came to church to justify her sins. Her explanation is that she is committing a crime in pursuit of justice.
Her hatred of Trump sanctifies her sin.
For the past 16 years, the black church has been advocating two things. 1) I happily support same-sex marriage, the LGBTQ movement, and abortion because my love for Barack Obama justifies sin. 2) Hatred of Trump justifies sin, so ignore the unethical behavior of the opposition, rampant illegal immigration insanity, historic inflation, emasculation of men, and growing illegality.
Fani Willis, Michelle Obama, Stacey Abrams, Kamala Harris, Kentangi Brown Jackson, Joy Reid, Karine Jean-Pierre, Don Lemon, and the rest of the black matriarchy are trying to save the world.
Black gal magic!
Have you ever seen a series of movies and TV shows that feature the black female savior trope? “The Woman King,'' “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,'' “Hidden Figures.''
Black matriarchy is the new religion of Black Christianity. Loving Obama, hating Trump is the underlying inspiration for a new doctrine to guide the black church.
This is the work of Martin Luther King Jr. I don't like saying that. I grew up seeing King as a hero. In some ways he still is. But he can't ignore the fruit. It's fruity. It is sexually immoral, dominated by racial idolatry, and dedicated to a brand of politics divorced from the Bible.
I have mixed feelings about MLK Day.
