(1 Cor 9:19-23)<BR/>If we are only witnessing to one type of people (black or white) than are we listening to the Holy Ghost? Are we walking in Love, or are we being selfish, or are we letting the devil punk us into thinking that Heaven is only going to look like us? Hmmmm?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825463.post-18575782116404053312007-03-18T01:00:00.000-04:002007-03-18T01:00:00.000-04:00PRAY!!! I really can't think of another solution. I also think that blacks tend to invite blacks to their black church. I am not saying all but if I went to work and asked all of my white co-workers how many of them have been invited to church by a black person the number would be few.<BR/><BR/>We first need to invite them and second make sure they feel welsome *I guess*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825463.post-53113729691794042512007-03-13T22:42:00.000-04:002007-03-13T22:42:00.000-04:00ok - I agree - now, what is the solution. We can not continue to be divided, at some point we must come together don't you think?WOFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04592924543978154007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825463.post-514007465455095252007-03-13T21:12:00.000-04:002007-03-13T21:12:00.000-04:00i have a few friends that are of othere races and they say that they feel uncomfortable being in a church that they are the minority also one of them says that blacks have a diff.way of worshiping and praising then others not that they dont approve but its not what they do thats what the other blogger means by the way or fashion the message is givenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825463.post-46025685844418669912007-03-13T07:57:00.000-04:002007-03-13T07:57:00.000-04:00I agree with you 100% of the fact that african americans are very familiar with being the minority. So, with this in view, what do you think the solution is? That is the question that I think we need to answer!WOFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04592924543978154007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825463.post-87485945870921930492007-03-13T04:16:00.000-04:002007-03-13T04:16:00.000-04:00I heard it once said that most black people are used to being surrounded by whites. We are used to being the minority. Most of us have felt this way all of our lives. <BR/><BR/>But many white people, on the other hand, have a hard time fathoming this idea. They simply haven't experienced being in the minority. <BR/><BR/>So if you take a black person and place them into a predominetly "white church" many are ok. Because it's almost familiar to them.<BR/><BR/>But often if you take a white person and place them into a predominetly "black church" it's a whole nother story. They are now, for the first time, the minority. It is very unfamiliar to them and unfamilarity makes some of them uncomfortable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9825463.post-43048590541133098072007-03-11T22:47:00.000-04:002007-03-11T22:47:00.000-04:00Can you give more details when you say it is how the message is given?
