It simply amazes me how one comment from one preacher has stirred up so much controversy in the church community. I happen to be a member of the Greater New Higher Heights, where the Bishop Dr. Wyatt I. Greenlee is the overseer. Mind you, I am not gay, lesbian or trans-gender. I’m all woman and a lover of God and God’s people.
I wonder, where did all the self-righteousness come from? If I recall, we all were born into sin, so that means we were all delivered from something, and if the truth be told we are all struggling with something, whether it is worrying about the tithes and offerings or what kind of car will I get after my church anniversary or something so simple as what to wear to the major church function on Sunday morning to cover up my mess from Saturday night.
So what’s under your cover? The very thing that you are afraid of finding about or that sneaks over to Sista Mablel’s to eat pie? I thank God that he is still working with me to forget some other things (church hurt) that I have experienced in this wonderful walk with Christ.
I wonder if we could all meet at one big place, maybe the Americas Center, with bishops, pastors, ministers and evangelists all given bricks and the members given rocks. Then, let Jesus ask, “Who is without sin cast the first stone.” Could you really throw your brick or rock?
