Churches like this one (and Im assuming they are real and not a parody): First let me be clear; I would witness to a Negro as quickly as I would any other race. I am sorry for using a term they themselves use in this article. However, I am not going to avoid the Scriptures in order to have a Negro in our congregation as many of the brethren do. If a Black couple or family wants to come to our Church they need not expect me to avoid what God says about the Hamite. If an interracial couple (Hamite and Gentile, or Hamite and Jew, etc.) wants to come to our assembly they will need to know I will not be silent about their UN scriptural union just to keep them. It has nothing to do with being prejudiced; it is a matter of the Bible. A preacher not only has the call of God upon him, but the COMMAND of GOD as well, to PREACH THE WORD! Perhaps that’s the problem, too many lack the call of God. They listened to some emotional plea, and answered the call of some ignorant preacher who can now brag on how God called someone under his ministry. No wonder they have no preach in them. As it was in the day of the prophets, so it is now. God said, “I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.” Jeremiah 23:21 When Paul said, “I have not shunned,” he made it clear. We are not to shrink, cower, hold back, conceal, withdraw, or draw back in our message. Our job is to Preach the Word, not edit it. When a preacher starts culling his sermon so he doesn’t offend anyone he is thinking more about his billfold than the Bible. I appreciate every Preacher who still stands on the Word. I’m thankful for both of you! (I’m kidding of course, at least I hope I am.) In days gone by you could go to a Bible Conference and hear a few preachers who had the touch of God on them. Men, who had the power of God on them with the mind and message of God, would thunder from the pulpit. They had no fear, nor favor of men. applebybaptistchurch/articles.html Thoughts?
