As a black woman whose been a believer for 29 years, the main problem with many black churches, is that there is no real, in-depth study of Scripture, or as it is formally called : Expository teaching. Most of the black churches, and even some of the "white" churches, are more like motivational speaking seminars, Broadway productions, or a Rock concert. 2 Timothy chapter 4, the Apostle Paul warns that a time will come when people will not endure SOUND doctrine. They want people to "tickle" their ears. They will be turned away from truth and will turn to fables, or what makes them "feel good". The "pastors" in these churches forget, that they will be held to account by God for what they do, or don't teach their congregations. Romans1:20 says that every human being has the ability to seek out truth, for God has instilled it in them and they will be without excuse when it comes time for judgement. Here in April 2024, I'm shocked and saddened at how many people who profess to be Christians, have not made the connection to events of recent years, to what Jesus predicted in Matthew 24 verses 4-14. I'm glad that I attend a church that has expository teaching. I encourage everyone to attend a church where the teaching of Scripture is the primary focus and not a stage show. Just because the music is good and the guy in the pulpit can shout a verse or two, doesn't mean that they are saved. Wisdom is the proper application of knowledge and you get knowledge by study, not by a spiritual pep-rally. 😮
Most members do not want to be taught. They prefer entertainment. If a pastor comes in that preaches and teaches without pulpit theatrics, that pastor will not be there long. There are some churches that prefer to be taught but they are in the minimum. Laziness with biblical and theological exegesis that can be broken down and given to the people to use daily in their lives is a large problem. “Whooping” cannot help one if your life is falling totally apart. The Word of God and how to apply it is what that person needs to move forward.
All very, very TRUE, and Our pastor tells us to ALWAYS read the Bible for ourselves to assure he's teaching the TRUTH. Know it for yourself ✝️🛐🙌🏿💯🤔👍🏿✝️
I agree, there is repetitive emotional false worship and black people get caught up in culture and not Christ. There should be no black or white church but believers and followers of Christ, Christ Church. I am happy that where I attend, we study the word for ourselves, no fake ministries that are not in the bible.....that include DANCE.
It grieves my spirit to see people so hostile towards Christ. People really do hate God. Satan is working hard to steal, kill, and destroy the minds of people. So sad. People are so ignorant.
Signs of the End of Days. Mass exodus of the faith in exchange for the desires of the world. We must stand firm in the testimony of our Lord Jesus Christ. Before it’s too late.
@@ifthatthenthis3797 Some churches are still strong...but, too many pastors in traditional black churches, weren't taught Bible well Also, women shouldn't be pastors
Yes, that's absolutely the collective job of the LIVING Church. The function of the LOCAL church is to serve as an assembly of SAINTS for the activities associated with WORSHIP of our worthy God---praise, prayer, learning His Word, participation in the sacraments, encouraging one another in the faith (especially as persecution increases), serving one another with spiritual gifts and resources, keeping one another accountable, and loving one another through fellowship that strengthen our spiritual family bond. The focus of the local church should not be attracting or evangelizing to unbelievers but fulfilling the second part of the Great Commission which is to train disciples and mature the Body in Christlikeness. Communicating the gospel is what we saints do as we GO OUT of the gathering into our spheres of influence as salt and light, sharing the Gospel, loving and serving others, and diffusing the fragrance of the knowledge of Christ wherever we go. The local church serves to equip the saints for that role as ministers of reconciliation. Important to make the distinction because many local church's misplace focus onto evangelism to the lost at the expense of honoring Christ by caring for, guiding, and maturing His disciples. ❤
@@WendieRenee First you got to believe the scriptures just as they say, John 7:38, and then the mission that we get from God, Almighty God in JesusChrist, is to Go out into all the world and teach all nations, people whatsoever I have told you... Matthew 28:19-20; And this is mission of JesusChrist church, but I'm sure your worship building have its own mission statement, like many other false building worships, that don't understand that they are the church, because Satan has hypnotized and brainwashed many people to call a building a church, and listen to Satan's prophet, Satan's teacher, Satan's leader, Satan's pastor.
These people are unbelievers.. you’re right in that they don’t have a clue the purpose of the church. They are speaking out of ignorance. Especially UMAR.. he is not a follower of Jesus Christ… so how is it that he thinks he can decide what the church should be doing!😮❤
Amen. That's why I don't listen to Umar, he don't even follow Jesus, he leaning on his own understanding, which God tells us not to do, Proverbs 3:5, or on the understanding of this world, which is foolishness to God, 1 Corinthians 3:19.
@@kathleenking47 with an evil fallen angel spirit, pray for him. Many, many, many people it be, my sister, that are not pastors for Almighty God in JesusChrist, but are pastors for the world, to get increase, for Satan, who is the god of this world, and the ruler of it; God, Almighty God has given the world into the hands of the wicked, Job 9:24; And to see that Almighty God is good, one would have to Repent, turn from the ways of the world, which is God's enemy, and turn to JesusChrist, where Almighty God does his works, healing, delivering, and setting free, the giving of the truth, love, God's joy, God's peace, God's mercy/loving kindness, God's Righteousness, and to receive God's help, through JesusChrist our hope and our help and our Saviour.
Umar likes bragging about his degrees and he loves telling black people and the church what they should be doing. He seems like a really stupid person.😎
Umar may have a PhD and I only have a BS degree but there is nothing that he can teach me what I don't already know. He comes off as a bitter and angry Black man who indicts the entire White race for their treatment of Black Americans
You know who said that also??? One of the biggest most popular cult leaders of twentieth century L.Ron Hubbard.of Scientology. "If you want to be rich create a religion" Eastern science fiction meeting 1948. 😳😳😳🤔
We should spread the gospel but I don't see anything wrong helping our community and taking care of the poor I was always told love God and love people
@@danajackson7492 Pastors tithe as well And that helps the poor. I also think, some churches need to have shop classes for boys of single mothers, and be taught by men
The reality is that there are expectations of the church because they claim to be the be all and end all of a Christian's life. I agree that The church has been supportive in the sense of being a shelter for those who were persecuted. There were meetings in the homes of prominent of the church and this caused the marrying of the church to the cause. Let's face it, the church grew because of it... But if this is no longer the case, there needs to be a concrete statement. The problem is that the church is political, we have Ministers summoning angels from Africa to fight in an election. However, when the Black preacher speaks about local issues, they are ridiculed. The church itself is divided in its message, and that's why it Is being called out as being oppressive. Dr. Umar Johnson is not our problem, our distorted message is. One thing i would say though, If you're promoting a gospel of prosperity, but you're not teaching how to invest or manage finances, something is wrong.
No it’s not… the “church” is supposed to be where people come together to equip the saints for works and make disciples to spread the gospel to unbelievers The “church” doesn’t prepare me to meet god. Jesus did that on the cross!
@@926paajaThe church was supposed to, but now that the seals are being lifted, (seals are the info that God told Daniel, is the information about the end times that has come forth by God because it is time to, Matthew 24:15 - 1stPeter 4:17- 2ndThesalonions 2:2-12, has come to pass spiritually, invisibly. But the divisions around the world we can see, is because he has given mankind up, starting with all corporate churches, please read the verses, that we're given.
@@926paaja Please check out E-bible fellowship open forums Q and A and studies. And no I'm not a J W, in the false gospel sense. But every true beliver, outside of these congregations, are to tell of Jesus, Jehovah, the Christ, the son of man and so on.
Amen brother🙏🏾🙏🏾 Satan has so many of our brothers and sisters across all races/ethnicities focused on the wrong things! Our alliance and allegiance is to God and God alone and His plan and purpose for His bride. My plans, my desires and my purposes take a back seat. We have to stay in prayer 🙏🏾
Yes, my sister, yes. All across the world too! I didn't think it would get this bad; but in this, we know the Bible is truth, and it really becomes of us to fulfill alllll righteousness, but they wanted to stay in that building they call church, because they were hypnotized, and brainwashed, and they wanted me to be the same, but God said, Thou/you art Peter, meaning a stone or a rock, upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell or the gates which leads to hell, shall not prevail against it. So I'm still free from the false church building, and I continue to stand on the truth of God in JesusChrist, which say human flesh is the church, Matthew 16:18, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 2 Corinthians 6:19; 2 Chronicles 2: I6 say, But who is able to build him a house, seeing the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee/you, who am I then, that I should build him a house but to burn sacrifice on it?
Hello brother, I come in peace which I received from JesusChrist; you make it seem as If it is only one way to worship JesusChrist brother. When we go out into all the world, things are different; building worships is a trap, anyway. Come out my brother, while you still have time.
I had a person tell me once Jesus was black. He even used that scripture. What I learned from my studies is exactly what you said it is a similie or descriptive, not exactly the look. Also in the book of revelation he is seeing Jesus in the Godly form and not as he was on the earth.
Amen. All I would add is there are not multiple races. We need to stop using that word wrongly. There’s only one race with many ethnic cities. Please let us all start speaking properly about who we are. May God bless everyone.
TO God be the Glory Satan has blinded the minds of many be careful God is not mock THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BLACK OR WHITE OR MEXICAN OR ASIAN OR WHATEVER ETHNICITY YOU ARE JESUS THE CHRIST IS COMING BACK FOR HIS CHURCH AND HIS CHURCH IS THE ONES THAT WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART MIND Soul AND STRENGTH IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH THERE IS NO COLOR AS FOR AS HE IS CONCERNED IF YOU LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WHO IS IN HEAVEN AND THOSE WHO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS THY SELF THAT'S WHO JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK FOR AMEN AMEN.
I have to say one of the reasons why people leaving the church is because of the Pastors. No one is really admitting this and instead of dealing with this issue. People say the Pastor is human he makes mistakes. Jeremiah 23:1-2 (KJV) Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
You are not wrong but be careful. Remember what happened to the man that opposed Moses. You need to be right. If you are wrong there will be consequences. Depending on what you do.
Yes, there is a biblical falling away of so called Christians leaving the Church, But that don't account for all of them. The vast majority that have left the Church, was lukewarm and wasn't saved in the first place. Make absolutely no mistake about it, there are still faithful Churches around the world, and Christian Saints, that are proving their love, loyalty and allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ. No my friend, the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which He purchased with His own blood. People leaving the Church was prophesied to happen, I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE, NO devil, CAN CAUSE ME TO WALK AWAY FROM THE CHURCH.
The road AND gate to righteousness is NARROW! Remember brothers and sisters in Christ, there will be NO ONE in The Lake of Fire who didn't EARN IT!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
When you say called out ones, do you mean the ones called out of these churches by God during the churchage. Because judgement has begun there, and if God is there as the judge, then we had leave. Read Matthew 24:15, and 1stPeter 4:17. And follow e-bible fellowship studies.
@@Fernando-qs7bl I believe the admonishment/command that says ¨GET OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE¨ The organizational ¨churches¨ are still under the spell of the great harlot church. The great Roman seductress sabotaged the first-century church and although some got out, exposing a few lies these reformers did not do a thorough job. Of course, the daughters of the woman riding the beast will not stray far, after all, they want their own glory and want to resemble mom because of the masses of people she attracts amassing riches and deceiving the people with part Babylonish doctrine and avoiding the knowledge of God rejecting Yahshuas way on how to run His ECCLECIA. They deliberately avoid the verses in red where the true Yahshua exposes His commandments and desires. They rather follow the hireling and strangers. I see the judgments already on her daughters! In other words, GET OUT OF HER! The Holy Spirit will guide the true believers because they SEE the deception, but where will they go, they say in their minds and hearts. They are taught that if they leave the church Satan is going to get you! Some will, but God's true child will not leave Yashua who died for us. I always think about Yahshua, praying and crying for Him to reform His ECCLESIA! There are many of us but we are scattered, When I went to church I could not stand their doctrinal lies, so I left! I hated the confusion! I read the red verses and I saw how the true Apostolic was sabotaged until now, I see progress though slowly but surely. Some are seeing and connecting the dots. What I do not know about some interpretations of Scripture, I leave it alone and the Holy Spirit will teach and disclose! I am not going to pastors for answers! After all, many are teaching false doctrine. Donŕt trusts them, I trust the Holy Spirit and He is faithful! Love you brother!
I enjoyed what you shared concerning the history of the church and hoq you counteracted Umwar and his shenanigans. He is a very convincing sounding man. You did great explaining what needs to be understood by all who claim to be Christian. Amen!✝️🙏😊👍
@@zacharylavender1568 Amen! Umar isn't the only person out there who is very persuasive and wrong in his teachings. Gino Jennings is another one and so many more out there. What makes it so bad is some of the things they talk about are totally true! But....than there is the evil and dark side of their teachings which is desructive.I Thank God for Corey Minor and others out there who are teaching what the Bible truly says. Most importantly they have studied!!!!! Praise God and our Lord Jesus Christ! He has kept me and guided me on His straight and narrow path of total truth. I'm so grateful to be saved/ born again and that the Lord Jesus Christ has stood by me all these years protecting me from false teachers. ✝️🙏😊👍
I do agree with Dr Umar Johnson's statement why does the church only believe they can pray when God has designed us to provide solutions that he wants to solve through us we need to not only settle for just praying but with praying and fasting to take action against the demonic principalities that dominate this society.
I pulled my family out of a church because they don't hold to sound Doctrine and now I'm being told by some of the members that I'm studying the Bible too much and that I'm Lost because I don't adhere to what they believe. Corey Minor @Smart Christian Channel and his Bible study that he has on his Channel to me is a very good teaching. Everything lines up with scriptures and it makes sense. He has helped me and my family to grow in the word and build a relationship with God. People forget that it's all about God not us.
@@kathleenking47that is false doctrine. Paul wrote that if he did not keep his body under he could be a castaway 1 Cor 9:27 Peter talked about once escaping and then been entangled again and overcome the latter end is worse than the beginning. He concluded it would have been better for them to have never known the way of rightousness than after they have known to turn away the holy commandments given to them 2 Peter 2:20-21 False doctrine is a poison that too many church people keep sipping. There is no such thing as once saved always saved. That is false doctrine. And in those churches you do not see the sick being healed or devils being cast out. The power seen in the ministry of Jesus and the Apostles is not see
So be it (AMEN)! Everything that you are saying MUST be said on national platforms. It is painful to see so many people that are deceived and do not have a true understanding of the Word of GOD. Thank you for this video and breakdown. Take care.
The church providing daycare or a food bank or even a small clinic with funds and support using the church campus is a way for Christian’s to donate time to help the poor and disenfranchised and therefore be a ministry for Christ!
i never went to God house without listening to the message, and then i went home and studied for myself. and if had questions i ask the pastor . most people don't study the word and alot of pastor knows that.
But pastors and the world still talk against the Bible; read my brother: Know ye/you not, that ye/you are the temple of God, which the Spirit of God dwelleth in, 1 Corinthians 3:16. Did Corey say this? No, because everything in the world is against God and his Christ, or JesusChrist. Listen to what they say, and read; what their behaviors: We deal not with flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers from the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places or pagan worship places. Ephesians 6:12. I study with you; because God said it is good and pleasant for brethren to dwell together in unity. Because when two or three are gathered together, God is right there in the midst, making sure his truths get out.
Isn't it just so interesting that the people who have the least interest in the Bible, if any use at all, try to act as if they know everything that a church is supposed to be about? These people on this panel have no idea what the call and work of the church is, nor what JESUS'S message of the gospel is about! THAT'S why it's known as the "BLACK CHURCH", because it remains in the dark!
God told us my sister, through JesusChrist, We wrestle or fight not with flesh and blood, Ephesians 6:12; you suppose to stand on all things God tells you, because they are taking place as we speak, and either we gon fight with JesusChrist, or be taken over by spirits from the darkness of this world, fallen angels.
Well y'all need to come out that darkness unto the light, and fight back these evil forces. I see why God was with Elijah, because everyone else went their own way, believed their own beliefs, and not the beliefs of God, so was it then, so is it now, today, that was prophesy for today, no one understood it.....
@@user-qc9bk3nt8cHi my sister or brother, that's why I'm not apart of anybodys building worship; I stand on what God told us, ye are God's building, 1 Corinthians 3:9: This world was founded on a lie, they said it was founded on Christianity, I said ok, because God, Almighty God in JesusChrist, is not about man made religion, but told us what his religion is, To visit the fatherless and widows in their afflictions and to keep oneself unspotted from the world, James 1:27. The precepts and principals of God were flipped upside down, and people are worshipping Satan, who said, I will be like the Most High God.
Since I did not see the service you are speaking about, I can only make an assumption. But I will say that emotionalism does not correspond to worship. Worship should contain heart-felt emotion, but emotion does not automatically correspond to proper worship.
This is my first time leaving a comment on your channel. I am glad that you are debunking the misunderstandings about church, not the Black church but church. It is apparent that the people who are espousing ideas that promote or empower black people have not studied the Bible. The Bible is not a manifesto for revolutionary actions. It is a book that expresses God's love for fallen people. Jesus was not concerned about the ethnicity of the people He ministered to. He spoke to the Samarian woman at the well, and He healed the daughter of the Syrophoenician woman. Jesus expressed unconditional love for people that did not deserve to be loved, irrespective of their ancestory. Simply put, Jesus came and died to pay the price for the sins of all mankind. God has an eternal perspective, and due to His love, He is offering us eternal life through Jesus Christ. In many ways, it does not matter what color Jesus was. The significant aspect is that God took on human flesh to redeem His people. That alone should be enough for everyone. 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19 (KJV) 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)
Thank you Corey. Sounds like you are properly informing Christians with biblically sound teaching like Voddie T Baucham Jr in his book Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming. Catastrophe.
The church used to be involved in civil rights during the Jim Crow era. That’s the issue, the black church had set a precedent for itself out of necessity. However, should that be the role of the black church today? Not necessarily. I think it’s important for the church to help the community by way of helping the homeless, feeding the hungry, offering social and spiritual support for those who are in need. But I think we need to be careful about involving the church in politics. That can be a slippery slope for the church to be put in a position where they are influencing its members to vote for certain candidates, like some churches are already doing. But I see nothing wrong with the church addressing certain social and societal issues to help bring solace and comfort to the members and community.
I attended a black church for Easter with my mom some years ago. We weren't acknowledged (we're Puerto Rican). Not a single hello. It was all one big concert. We've attended churches where the majority of the congregation was Afro-Carribean and were treated warmly. I believe there are groups within the African American community, especially those who attend one of these churches, who wish to return to segregation.
he’s an atheist, never knew that…I don’t know him. I just hear a lot of black people talk about him and how he go hard for the black community i’m glad i never got caught up in him or his speeches
Christianity is not about color, but serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That way in love we will stay together. Thanks Brother Corey for your realization of this subject. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.(Matthew 5:9)
CHRISTIANITY IS A RELIGION, JJST LIKE THE OTHERS, BUDDA, ISLAM, ETC. IN AMERICA CHURCHES ARE SO HYPOCRITICAL. I HATE WHATS TAKEN PLACE IN AMERICA WITH THE CHURCHES. HATE, NON SUPPORT, BASHING OF WOMEN IS MOST PEOPLE.
Nationality, color, gender, etc matters. John 4:7, 9 KJV [7] There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. [9] Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
Amen🙌🏼🙏🏼 when I go to church I just want to hear the true gospel found in the word the holy Bible. So I can continue to grow with the Lord as I read the word as well, so I don't be lead atray.
The history of the black church was first built on politics. In my opinion they still operate some what politically. However, God has no respector of persons. So church should never be used for anything... except the fellowshiping of saints...teaching/preaching of the gospel and worshipping the Lord. Although its not a Christian issue...I do believe that black ppl should have better community programs.
Because Jesus Christ is the head of HIS' Church, we should follow Jesus for example: Jesus Christ, was / is concerned about our salvation and spiritual growth, but yet is also concerned about our physical needs.... This is what the earliest Church, was about... Acts 4 : 32 - 37....
I don’t agree with Umar on ANYTHING but I know some churches that fit the description of his first statement for sure! Mostly in the hyper-charismatic church
Me too. And in low income. But JesusChrist the power of God, Almighty God, which was outside preaching and teaching the Word of God, In his day, and they killed him, likewise in our day, he put his Spirit in man, and that man is outside. JesusChrist didn't need no building then, and he don't need one now! when will people wake up out of their sleep, it is definitely time.....
@user-Dayvid1 NO, the Church don't need a building, we are that building. But the Church, the body of Christ believers, must have a place where they can come together and here a word from God, and get encouragement and food for their soul. We must assemble ourselves together, it's a commandment of God.
@@contendingforthefaith9897Hello sister or brother; I understand that, I do, but all in the building are not on one accord, all don't believe as you. When Jesus shined a shinned a light around Paul from heaven, Acts 9:3), it was because he was a chosen vessel unto God, to bear or carry Jesus name before the Gentiles, and before, kings, and before the children of Israel, or the descendants of the Israelites, Acts 9:15...... We must read, and believe every Word that comes out of the mouth of God, Deuteronomy 8:3, Matthew 4:4, Luke 4:4. Acts 2:13, Others mocking saying, these men are full of the new wine; all are not on one accord, in one place, focusing on the truth, the Word of God. 14, But Peter stood up with the 11; they were on 1 accord with him, the LordJesus had been pulled them out of the people, the LordJesus showed us that we should make disciples as he did: But Satan cast some of us, or millions of us into his prison, and called it a church, so they wouldn't know the difference; but God, Almighty God in JesusChrist, got some on the outside looking in; this is not the church that God in JesusChrist, wants to assemble together, many are into the world, many still fornicate, some gang members, some smoke, some love to eat, not judging any of these, but doing these things, we deny the power of God in JesusChrist, and worship Satan, as Satan said in Isaiah 14:12, I will be like the Most High (God). People are in the building worshipping the copy, and not the true: now I'm wondering when God will wake up his people, or when they will awake out of their sleep, because the time is short, and at hand, and we need to repent. God in JesusChrist, is telling us to Repent, in this day, this generation, this our, for this wisdom of this world is foolishness to God, 1 Corinthians 3:19, 2:14.
@@contendingforthefaith9897 Contending for the faith! What faith? christianity which is not in the Bible? Building worship is a joke, a wonna be, of the true, Satan's prison; that's why leaders keep getting caught doing something ungodly, because it is a sign from God, Almighty God in JesusChrist, that building worship is all across the world, crooked, a strait way to hell, all of them.
I am a christian and I believe you personally not liking Dr Umar makes your judgement biased. You literally agreed with 70 percent of what Dr Umar said and added stuff you think he meant and he did not say at all.
Sound teaching as usual Bro. Corey. One note: the Umar character, to my understanding, does not identify as an atheist. He claims to practice Igbo style African spirituality and belief in the "Most High" (his words).
Jesus was not only concerned about people spiritually but naturally. He fed people He commanded his disciples to do so. Here is scripture. There's something truth to what Umar is saying. Matthew 14:14-21 (KJV) And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. He said, Bring them hither to me. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
See, this what I have problem with, now Jesus /Church dont see color. Ok people need help, mainly poor blacks, whites, hispanic, etc. No fault of their own. Yes the poor will be among us, its millions .
Oddly, the 5000 yielded 12 baskets for the apostles The 4000, yielded 7 baskets for apostles Only Matthew and Mark has both Luke and John doesn't have the 4000... They just didn't write it
The church is for the body of believers to gather together to worship God, lift up one another, exhort one another etc, like the Bible says. We are to go out and tell people about the gospel or invite them to church. But it's mainly for the body of believers. What's wrong with that? It's what the Bible says.
What about the white churches, racist, white Jesus, the division of the church was white churches , no black could come in . Bring it all full circle Corey
They were wrong & historically inaccurate!!! HOWEVER that doesn't mean U swing the complete opposite way & bcm just as wrong by teaching politics instead of the Bible... We had a blk "abrtn" preacher run for congress marching in FRONT of the alphabet parade. Did u see pastors joining b l m (an atheist org that was opposed to the nuclear family)??? Also, did u see the Newbirth symbol that was changed??? Google it! (Hint: They added to the cross as if the cross is not enough). These things r also not of Christ!!!
That's right, the black Church came about through slavery and segregation. Where was the white evangelical so called Christian CONservative during 1960s Civil rights movement? Black people had to rear up black Churches in our community. No, the Church wasn't never ment to be divided or politically base, but what do you expect in the land of CONfusion(Babylon America)??
I agree. There are thousands of white churches, Asians, etc. Operating each Sunday and no one bothers them. Mot churches are homogeneous. But you never hear of how white refused to worship with blacks. Read the history of COGIC started by a black man, had white pastors, but because of hatred and society they had to leave and thus started Assemblies of God. Get off the black church's back. At one time it was all you had. They got you through the Civil Rights movement. But now because you have a few white friends and think you've made it in life, you don't need it. Just stop.
You hit the nail on the head with this one. We are living in a time where the signs are all around us and because ppl don’t have a personal relationship with God through His word, they can only go by what someone tells them. I’ve said this all along that Jesus never got involved with politics. He could have crushed the Roman system, but He cane to save and give us an example of how we should live. But ppl want things to be their way and so they come up with all of this nonsense and raise leaders to back them in it. Ppl that are truly saved, must get past all of this, follow Christ and live holy and at that point at least God’s ppl would be lined up with His agenda. His agenda is truth and salvation and if more pastors would just teach truth, then ppl would know what to do about worldly agendas and pray for God’s will to be done. One day Jesus will rule this world and then only will it be run as God intended. Pls let’s not get so caught up in worldly events because this world is passing away. But let’s learn truth by studying scripture so that we are prepared to give an account of our lives before Christ. Ultimately, that’s all that matters because heaven and hell are as real as we live and breathe this air today.
Hi sister, I stand for the truth in JesusChrist; which the building they call church don't. I think they lie, that's why they don't come outside; JesusChrist was always outside.
Church is not for politics it is about sharing the message of Christ and help save souls from eternal damnation. The politics and social matters has in the past had meetings at churches but the main point and need of church was always done
We need to remember there wasn’t a government hand out. The church cared for their own while not having their own portion of town. Many of these churches were small.
@@michaelclayton2323 I beg to differ. There is only 1 race and that's the human race. We are all decendended from the same blood line from Adam and Eve. Different shades of skin and slightly different genetic traits are trivial and do not constitute different races.
Thanks Cory for addressing this biblically. To God be the glory. Jesus said when I am lifted up (on the cross and looked to in faith as the only sacrifice for sin) I will draw men unto me. Repent people and believe His gospel. Amen.
I enjoy listening and learning from you. You come out of the book which is great. I can agree with you on your breakdown of these conversations. The only thing I would say is when Dr Umar spoke on single black women and the pastor is correct at "some" churches because they all don't follow Jesus. You are speaking about "the church" but his information comes from "a church." And some of them got some "other" doctrine and motives. Let me end by saying that you do be on point.
Bro Corey, another interesting video. At the 17:40 mark of the video, you said the following; "the only liberation that you should look for from the church is liberation from sin and then ultimately being brought before the Lord in heaven." Let me in good faith push back a little on that statement and I will carefully consider your reply. When you made that statement, my mind went back to the slavery period when black slaves would attend Christian churches and black Chrisitians would go to church during the Jim Crow era between 1877 through the 1960's. Were the slaves and the generations that followed them wrong to cry out before God in the church for liberation from slavery and from unfair treatment during Jim Crow? Exodus 3:7-states "Then the Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings" It appears the children of Israel were looking for liberation from more than sin but for liberation from slavery. Exodus 13:14 "And when in time to come your son asks you, 'What does this mean? ' you shall say to him, 'By a strong hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, from the house of slavery. Were the slaves wrong to think that the Lord would liberate them not only from sin but also from the house of slavery just like He did for the children of Israel ? Thank you for your time.
What is man's greatest problem? Sin vs. chattel slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, Trump, Biden, unfair treatment, mass incarceration, etc. Sin will always win. Man is born in sin with a sinful nature that is in enmity with God, which is man's most significant problem. Imagine calling on God to be delivered from Jim Crow, but you haven't submitted to Christ as Lord? What good is it to gain the world and lose your soul? Israel was God's chosen people. Hence, they were able to call on God and be heard by him. respectfully,
13 "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. (Matthew 7:13, NASB) “Lord God help us to speak the truth in love to those who are being deceived by false teaching as displayed in some of these clips. Thank you Lord. Amen”.
Brother My Heart Cry's . To see that church has become a more racial divide. When the opposite is true. Meaning, Church should be about God alone. Breaking down any wall of indifference between us. God Bless You My Brother. In Jesus Name My Dear Friend.
As a Black man, I grew up in a diverse church that did have a lot of Black members, however I am used to expository preaching. Not reading a couple scriptures and then picking a topic and then preaching with the hype of a B3 organ in the background. They ascribe the emotionalism and the shoutin' to God moving by His spirit. Meanwhile the music is 100mph. I've had my spiritual needs met at the First Presbyterian Church with the worship and foundational Bible teaching. I avoid churches that preach a social gospel. We're just passing through. Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world" These folks today still don't have a clue
Being courage, my brother, God is getting ready to pour out his spirit on all flesh. When the greatest revival of the world has ever seen is gonna start in America, watch and see the glory of the Lord.
Amen to that first statement. There is only one true church of believers. Those whom God has called and has Put His Spirit in. He said He would call people from all nations (nationalities). If the Spirit of God dwells in you then you are a child of God and part of His church. Nothing else (color, race, and so on) matters!
If more people would read and try to understand the Bible the will see that everything they are talking about starts at home. The Church is there for believers and follower of Jesus to come together to help support everyone including new believers grow in their faith. Support each other, to make help each other stay on the right when it come to keep their hear, mind, and life heading in the direction of Jesus. We are commanded to separate from the world and build up the body of Christ. Romans 16:17-19 ESV I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil.
I absolutely agree with this entire video. The truth is the Black church as a collective has been too involved with identity politics. I used to attend some of those (including some White churches), and I've seen a LOT of apostasy from them. We have been too busy worshipping skin color, political party, and even big time celebrities all while we're basking into victimhood.
God warned that in the last days there would be many false profits and false apostles. What's your period it's a false application of the gospel of Jesus. I pray. That God will have mercy on these people and get them saved.Cause they're far from you
A house decided against it self can not stand no one is going to help us, so brothers let's be of one accord. We can do this family let's make god great again.
Only he who fells it knows it, I like Dr Umar do feel and see the struggle of our people who work for the system, when the system don’t care about us, we have to save ourselves from the destruction that is set before us, I’m with Dr Umar 💯 , To days Christian need to study and use common sense and don’t be like the sheep lead to the slaughter
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” ― Carl Sagan
Sparing brain cells?? That is mad harsh about the Dr. The Holy Spirit of Truth is sufficient. He is a Pan African that worships creation rather than creator. Nothing should surprise us that comes out an agnostic's mouth 🙏🏾 for Dr. Umar.
Corey, I agree with you, however before you are so quick to correct us and saying Jesus is not black why don’t you start with? He’s not white because that’s what we were taught in America that was the picture of Jesus that was given to us so it was thought that he was white Before it was thought that he was black and America.
That's not the point. Jesus's race is irrelevant to Christianity and Christians. His race won't change what He did and WHO He was. I as a black person care more about the fact that He was a sinless man murdered by the pharisees. Killed for our sins, died and rose on the 3rd day. Jesus Christ claimed to be God. Whether He was white or black or blue or violet doesn't change this fact. I look at the content of His character not the colour of His skin.
@@linasuleman5470 And you completely overlooked the point that he was making. All of this race stuff started with the white churches. Just ignoring this problem won't make it go away. You're naive also.
@@Ombudsman-jg6mn totally agree, but deal with the original lie The lie that he was white is what spawned or gave birth to a people wanting him to be black. Let’s be real white America created white and black construct attack a symptom not roots probably because his daddy told him there’s no racism.
Well Esther, Paul, and Gideon all defended their people in some way in the Bible. To say the church was not meant to create change, protect, and provide for its people sounds very flawed. Part of the problem in modern church is that we don’t work together as a family . We don’t get involved enough. We just watch and pray and the many bible figure even Noah built a shelter for his people.. So to a certain extent the church is suppose to be resourceful, not just having bible study and praying but be the hands and feet of Jesus on earth. We are suppose to be taking care of orphans, widows, the poor..etc.. what the modern church is doing is trying to get popular and instead of creating change.
As a black woman whose been a believer for 29 years, the main problem with many black churches, is that there is no real, in-depth study of Scripture, or as it is formally called : Expository teaching. Most of the black churches, and even some of the "white" churches, are more like motivational speaking seminars, Broadway productions, or a Rock concert. 2 Timothy chapter 4, the Apostle Paul warns that a time will come when people will not endure SOUND doctrine. They want people to "tickle" their ears. They will be turned away from truth and will turn to fables, or what makes them "feel good". The "pastors" in these churches forget, that they will be held to account by God for what they do, or don't teach their congregations. Romans1:20 says that every human being has the ability to seek out truth, for God has instilled it in them and they will be without excuse when it comes time for judgement. Here in April 2024, I'm shocked and saddened at how many people who profess to be Christians, have not made the connection to events of recent years, to what Jesus predicted in Matthew 24 verses 4-14. I'm glad that I attend a church that has expository teaching. I encourage everyone to attend a church where the teaching of Scripture is the primary focus and not a stage show. Just because the music is good and the guy in the pulpit can shout a verse or two, doesn't mean that they are saved. Wisdom is the proper application of knowledge and you get knowledge by study, not by a spiritual pep-rally. 😮
Amen, sister.
Most members do not want to be taught. They prefer entertainment. If a pastor comes in that preaches and teaches without pulpit theatrics, that pastor will not be there long. There are some churches that prefer to be taught but they are in the minimum. Laziness with biblical and theological exegesis that can be broken down and given to the people to use daily in their lives is a large problem. “Whooping” cannot help one if your life is falling totally apart. The Word of God and how to apply it is what that person needs to move forward.
All very, very TRUE, and Our pastor tells us to ALWAYS read the Bible for ourselves to assure he's teaching the TRUTH. Know it for yourself ✝️🛐🙌🏿💯🤔👍🏿✝️
@@jameshhenderson8243 AMEN !!! 🛐✝️👍🏿🤔💯🙌🏿🙋🏿
I agree, there is repetitive emotional false worship and black people get caught up in culture and not Christ. There should be no black or white church but believers and followers of Christ, Christ Church. I am happy that where I attend, we study the word for ourselves, no fake ministries that are not in the bible.....that include DANCE.
It grieves my spirit to see people so hostile towards Christ. People really do hate God. Satan is working hard to steal, kill, and destroy the minds of people. So sad. People are so ignorant.
Signs of the End of Days. Mass exodus of the faith in exchange for the desires of the world. We must stand firm in the testimony of our Lord Jesus Christ. Before it’s too late.
TRUE statement 😢.
I don’t think it’s that they hate God as much as they love money. You have to ask yourself what is their God? Which God are they serving?
Same it makes me feel like David
I cannot wait until these wicked people get Jesus sword
If they repent fine great
@@ifthatthenthis3797
Some churches are still strong...but, too many pastors in traditional black churches, weren't taught Bible well
Also, women shouldn't be pastors
The job of the church is communicating the gospel.
God told us, ye are the temple of God, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Matthew 16:18, 2 Kings 8:27, 2 Chronicles 2:6.
Yes, that's absolutely the collective job of the LIVING Church. The function of the LOCAL church is to serve as an assembly of SAINTS for the activities associated with WORSHIP of our worthy God---praise, prayer, learning His Word, participation in the sacraments, encouraging one another in the faith (especially as persecution increases), serving one another with spiritual gifts and resources, keeping one another accountable, and loving one another through fellowship that strengthen our spiritual family bond.
The focus of the local church should not be attracting or evangelizing to unbelievers but fulfilling the second part of the Great Commission which is to train disciples and mature the Body in Christlikeness.
Communicating the gospel is what we saints do as we GO OUT of the gathering into our spheres of influence as salt and light, sharing the Gospel, loving and serving others, and diffusing the fragrance of the knowledge of Christ wherever we go. The local church serves to equip the saints for that role as ministers of reconciliation. Important to make the distinction because many local church's misplace focus onto evangelism to the lost at the expense of honoring Christ by caring for, guiding, and maturing His disciples. ❤
@@WendieRenee First you got to believe the scriptures just as they say, John 7:38, and then the mission that we get from God, Almighty God in JesusChrist, is to Go out into all the world and teach all nations, people whatsoever I have told you... Matthew 28:19-20;
And this is mission of JesusChrist church, but I'm sure your worship building have its own mission statement, like many other false building worships, that don't understand that they are the church, because Satan has hypnotized and brainwashed many people to call a building a church, and listen to Satan's prophet, Satan's teacher, Satan's leader, Satan's pastor.

@@user-Dayvid1 What are you talking about🤦🏽♀️🤣? Your comments have nothing to do with what Wendi is talking about!!!
These people are unbelievers.. you’re right in that they don’t have a clue the purpose of the church. They are speaking out of ignorance. Especially UMAR.. he is not a follower of Jesus Christ… so how is it that he thinks he can decide what the church should be doing!😮❤
Amen. That's why I don't listen to Umar, he don't even follow Jesus, he leaning on his own understanding, which God tells us not to do, Proverbs 3:5, or on the understanding of this world, which is foolishness to God, 1 Corinthians 3:19.
Jamal Bryant is as well
And he's a pastor 😞
@@kathleenking47 with an evil fallen angel spirit, pray for him.
Many, many, many people it be, my sister, that are not pastors for Almighty God in JesusChrist, but are pastors for the world, to get increase, for Satan, who is the god of this world, and the ruler of it; God, Almighty God has given the world into the hands of the wicked, Job 9:24;
And to see that Almighty God is good, one would have to Repent, turn from the ways of the world, which is God's enemy, and turn to JesusChrist, where Almighty God does his works, healing, delivering, and setting free, the giving of the truth, love, God's joy, God's peace, God's mercy/loving kindness, God's Righteousness, and to receive God's help, through JesusChrist our hope and our help and our Saviour.
Umar likes bragging about his degrees and he loves telling black people and the church what they should be doing. He seems like a really stupid person.😎
Umar may have a PhD and I only have a BS degree but there is nothing that he can teach me what I don't already know. He comes off as a bitter and angry Black man who indicts the entire White race for their treatment of Black Americans
Oh we're seeing that everywhere. I read a quote so true "IF YOU WANT TO BECOME A MULTI MILLIONAIRE IN AMERICA, GET BEHIND RELIGION ". So true!
You know who said that also??? One of the biggest most popular cult leaders of twentieth century L.Ron Hubbard.of Scientology. "If you want to be rich create a religion" Eastern science fiction meeting 1948. 😳😳😳🤔
We should spread the gospel but I don't see anything wrong helping our community and taking care of the poor I was always told love God and love people
I don't trust none of them that use God to make money and that includes this guy
@@danajackson7492
Pastors tithe as well
And that helps the poor.
I also think, some churches need to have shop classes for boys of single mothers, and be taught by men
The reality is that there are expectations of the church because they claim to be the be all and end all of a Christian's life.
I agree that The church has been supportive in the sense of being a shelter for those who were persecuted. There were meetings in the homes of prominent of the church and this caused the marrying of the church to the cause. Let's face it, the church grew because of it... But if this is no longer the case, there needs to be a concrete statement.
The problem is that the church is political, we have Ministers summoning angels from Africa to fight in an election. However, when the Black preacher speaks about local issues, they are ridiculed. The church itself is divided in its message, and that's why it Is being called out as being oppressive. Dr. Umar Johnson is not our problem, our distorted message is.
One thing i would say though, If you're promoting a gospel of prosperity, but you're not teaching how to invest or manage finances, something is wrong.
The purpose of the church is to prepare believers to meet God!!
No it’s not… the “church” is supposed to be where people come together to equip the saints for works and make disciples to spread the gospel to unbelievers
The “church” doesn’t prepare me to meet god. Jesus did that on the cross!
@@926paajaThe church was supposed to, but now that the seals are being lifted, (seals are the info that God told Daniel, is the information about the end times that has come

Amen brother🙏🏾🙏🏾 Satan has so many of our brothers and sisters across all races/ethnicities focused on the wrong things!
Our alliance and allegiance is to God and God alone and His plan and purpose for His bride.
My plans, my desires and my purposes take a back seat.
We have to stay in prayer 🙏🏾
Yes, my sister, yes. All across the world too! I didn't think it would get this bad; but in this, we know the Bible is truth, and it really becomes of us to fulfill alllll righteousness, but they wanted to stay in that building they call church, because they were hypnotized, and brainwashed, and they wanted me to be the same, but God said, Thou/you art Peter, meaning a stone or a rock, upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell or the gates which leads to hell, shall not prevail against it.
So I'm still free from the false church building, and I continue to stand on the truth of God in JesusChrist, which say human flesh is the church, Matthew 16:18, 1 Corinthians 3:16, 2 Corinthians 6:19;
2 Chronicles 2: I6 say, But who is able to build him a house, seeing the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee/you, who am I then, that I should build him a house but to burn sacrifice on it?
Hello brother, I come in peace which I received from JesusChrist; you make it seem as If it is only one way to worship JesusChrist brother.
When we go out into all the world, things are different;
building worships is a trap, anyway.
Come out my brother, while you still have time.
I had a person tell me once Jesus was black. He even used that scripture. What I learned from my studies is exactly what you said it is a similie or descriptive, not exactly the look. Also in the book of revelation he is seeing Jesus in the Godly form and not as he was on the earth.
Amen. All I would add is there are not multiple races. We need to stop using that word wrongly. There’s only one race with many ethnic cities. Please let us all start speaking properly about who we are. May God bless everyone.
TO God be the Glory Satan has blinded the minds of many be careful God is not mock THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BLACK OR WHITE OR MEXICAN OR ASIAN OR WHATEVER ETHNICITY YOU ARE JESUS THE CHRIST IS COMING BACK FOR HIS CHURCH AND HIS CHURCH IS THE ONES THAT WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART MIND Soul AND STRENGTH IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH THERE IS NO COLOR AS FOR AS HE IS CONCERNED IF YOU LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WHO IS IN HEAVEN AND THOSE WHO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS THY SELF THAT'S WHO JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK FOR AMEN AMEN.
I have to say one of the reasons why people leaving the church is because of the Pastors. No one is really admitting this and instead of dealing with this issue. People say the Pastor is human he makes mistakes.
Jeremiah 23:1-2 (KJV) Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
Yes.
You are not wrong but be careful. Remember what happened to the man that opposed Moses. You need to be right. If you are wrong there will be consequences. Depending on what you do.
Yes, there is a biblical falling away of so called Christians leaving the Church, But that don't account for all of them. The vast majority that have left the Church, was lukewarm and wasn't saved in the first place. Make absolutely no mistake about it, there are still faithful Churches around the world, and Christian Saints, that are proving their love, loyalty and allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ. No my friend, the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, which He purchased with His own blood. People leaving the Church was prophesied to happen, I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE, NO devil, CAN CAUSE ME TO WALK AWAY FROM THE CHURCH.
@@sailordallen2838is the Moses the man you’re talking about?
People leave because of ungodly demon possessed members that cannot be checked and other members are afraid to check them.
The road AND gate to righteousness is NARROW! Remember brothers and sisters in Christ, there will be NO ONE in The Lake of Fire who didn't EARN IT!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
However, salvation is a free gift, unearned...
However..the judge seat if Christ, is where our works will be judged
the church is the called-out ones not a building. each member is a church.
When you say called out ones, do you mean the ones called out of these churches by God during the churchage. Because judgement has begun there, and if God is there as the judge, then we had leave. Read Matthew 24:15, and 1stPeter 4:17. And follow e-bible fellowship studies.
“Called out” of the world to be in Christ, filled with the Holy Spirit and fulfill the will of the Heavenly Father
That's right! The ecclesia.
@@Fernando-qs7bl I believe the admonishment/command that says ¨GET OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE¨ The organizational ¨churches¨ are still under the spell of the great harlot church. The great Roman seductress sabotaged the first-century church and although some got out, exposing a few lies these reformers did not do a thorough job. Of course, the daughters of the woman riding the beast will not stray far, after all, they want their own glory and want to resemble mom because of the masses of people she attracts amassing riches and deceiving the people with part Babylonish doctrine and avoiding the knowledge of God rejecting Yahshuas way on how to run His ECCLECIA. They deliberately avoid the verses in red where the true Yahshua exposes His commandments and desires. They rather follow the hireling and strangers. I see the judgments already on her daughters! In other words, GET OUT OF HER! The Holy Spirit will guide the true believers because they SEE the deception, but where will they go, they say in their minds and hearts. They are taught that if they leave the church Satan is going to get you! Some will, but God's true child will not leave Yashua who died for us. I always think about Yahshua, praying and crying for Him to reform His ECCLESIA! There are many of us but we are scattered, When I went to church I could not stand their doctrinal lies, so I left! I hated the confusion! I read the red verses and I saw how the true Apostolic was sabotaged until now, I see progress though slowly but surely. Some are seeing and connecting the dots. What I do not know about some interpretations of Scripture, I leave it alone and the Holy Spirit will teach and disclose! I am not going to pastors for answers! After all, many are teaching false doctrine. Donŕt trusts them, I trust the Holy Spirit and He is faithful! Love you brother!

I do agree with Dr Umar Johnson's statement why does the church only believe they can pray when God has designed us to provide solutions that he wants to solve through us we need to not only settle for just praying but with praying and fasting to take action against the demonic principalities that dominate this society.
I pulled my family out of a church because they don't hold to sound Doctrine and now I'm being told by some of the members that I'm studying the Bible too much and that I'm Lost because I don't adhere to what they believe. Corey Minor @Smart Christian Channel and his Bible study that he has on his Channel to me is a very good teaching. Everything lines up with scriptures and it makes sense. He has helped me and my family to grow in the word and build a relationship with God. People forget that it's all about God not us.
I have to grown closer to Christ from the help of an online ministry.
Matthew/Luke 4:4

Now Corey Broke this Down....❤❤❤❤ love this Brother Cory
But pastors and the world still talk against the Bible; read my brother: Know ye/you not, that ye/you are the temple of God, which the Spirit of God dwelleth in, 1 Corinthians 3:16. Did Corey say this? No, because everything in the world is against God and his Christ, or JesusChrist. Listen to what they say, and read; what their behaviors:
We deal not with flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers from the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places or pagan worship places. Ephesians 6:12.
I study with you; because God said it is good and pleasant for brethren to dwell together in unity.
Because when two or three are gathered together, God is right there in the midst, making sure his truths get out.
Isn't it just so interesting that the people who have the least interest in the Bible, if any use at all, try to act as if they know everything that a church is supposed to be about? These people on this panel have no idea what the call and work of the church is, nor what JESUS'S message of the gospel is about! THAT'S why it's known as the "BLACK CHURCH", because it remains in the dark!
Dang
God told us my sister, through JesusChrist, We wrestle or fight not with flesh and blood, Ephesians 6:12; you suppose to stand on all things God tells you, because they are taking place as we speak, and either we gon fight with JesusChrist, or be taken over by spirits from the darkness of this world, fallen angels.
Well y'all need to come out that darkness unto the light, and fight back these evil forces.

This world was founded on a lie, they said it was founded on Christianity, I said ok, because God, Almighty God in JesusChrist, is not about man made religion, but told us what his religion is, To visit the fatherless and widows in their afflictions and to keep oneself unspotted from the world, James 1:27.
The precepts and principals of God were flipped upside down, and people are worshipping Satan, who said, I will be like the Most High God.
@@user-Dayvid1Check out e-bible fellowship open forums Q and A, and studies and may the true God of the bible bless you further
In the 80’s my church got invited to a black church in L.A. and WOW their worship and praise was a 1000% we were so lukewarm in comparison.
Since I did not see the service you are speaking about, I can only make an assumption. But I will say that emotionalism does not correspond to worship. Worship should contain heart-felt emotion, but emotion does not automatically correspond to proper worship.
This is my first time leaving a comment on your channel. I am glad that you are debunking the misunderstandings about church, not the Black church but church. It is apparent that the people who are espousing ideas that promote or empower black people have not studied the Bible. The Bible is not a manifesto for revolutionary actions. It is a book that expresses God's love for fallen people.
Jesus was not concerned about the ethnicity of the people He ministered to. He spoke to the Samarian woman at the well, and He healed the daughter of the Syrophoenician woman. Jesus expressed unconditional love for people that did not deserve to be loved, irrespective of their ancestory.
Simply put, Jesus came and died to pay the price for the sins of all mankind. God has an eternal perspective, and due to His love, He is offering us eternal life through Jesus Christ. In many ways, it does not matter what color Jesus was. The significant aspect is that God took on human flesh to redeem His people. That alone should be enough for everyone.
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19 (KJV)
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)
Thank you Corey. Sounds like you are properly informing Christians with biblically sound teaching like Voddie T Baucham Jr in his book Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism's Looming. Catastrophe.
Excellent book ❤
Whoo! Hearing you speak on this is powerful! Thank you for your obedience to Christ. Your cup runs over!
Thank you sir, and God bless your ministry! 🙏🏾💯
This was excellent! Thank you! I read all the insightful comments as well. Much appreciated. God bless!!!
The church used to be involved in civil rights during the Jim Crow era. That’s the issue, the black church had set a precedent for itself out of necessity. However, should that be the role of the black church today? Not necessarily. I think it’s important for the church to help the community by way of helping the homeless, feeding the hungry, offering social and spiritual support for those who are in need. But I think we need to be careful about involving the church in politics. That can be a slippery slope for the church to be put in a position where they are influencing its members to vote for certain candidates, like some churches are already doing. But I see nothing wrong with the church addressing certain social and societal issues to help bring solace and comfort to the members and community.
I attended a black church for Easter with my mom some years ago. We weren't acknowledged (we're Puerto Rican). Not a single hello. It was all one big concert. We've attended churches where the majority of the congregation was Afro-Carribean and were treated warmly. I believe there are groups within the African American community, especially those who attend one of these churches, who wish to return to segregation.
he’s an atheist, never knew that…I don’t know him. I just hear a lot of black people talk about him and how he go hard for the black community
i’m glad i never got caught up in him or his speeches
He never said he was atheist. This man is lying on him in the name of Jesus 😂
When did he say that or when was that inferred 😮
Umar isn't an atheist, he practices African spirituality. West African Ifa Yoruba religion.
Can you talk about 501 3 c churches? Thank you!
Thank you for addressing this video. You teach the truth Corey keep contending for the faith. We encourage you!
No he don't the people in the Bible are the African American people
Christianity is not about color, but serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That way in love we will stay together. Thanks Brother Corey for your realization of this subject. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.(Matthew 5:9)
Racist rule the world!
CHRISTIANITY IS A RELIGION, JJST LIKE THE OTHERS, BUDDA, ISLAM, ETC. IN AMERICA CHURCHES ARE SO HYPOCRITICAL. I HATE WHATS TAKEN PLACE IN AMERICA WITH THE CHURCHES. HATE, NON SUPPORT, BASHING OF WOMEN IS MOST PEOPLE.
Really, keeo dreaming, Christianity is a cult, Jesus was not a Christian.
Really, why is bible used everyday when it comes to money, property, etc. Wake up brother. We have to live in America, it takes MONEY.
Nationality, color, gender, etc matters.
John 4:7, 9 KJV
[7] There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
[9] Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
Amen🙌🏼🙏🏼 when I go to church I just want to hear the true gospel found in the word the holy Bible. So I can continue to grow with the Lord as I read the word as well, so I don't be lead atray.
Sound Biblical teaching!
Umar Johnson is not an atheist, he is an IFA practitioner aka a warlock.
huh?
That's worse for
Jermaine Shoemaker
Is that why his name was changed
How is that supposed to be better?
Being an atheist and being a warlock are equally bad and he’s apparently both.
The history of the black church was first built on politics. In my opinion they still operate some what politically. However, God has no respector of persons. So church should never be used for anything... except the fellowshiping of saints...teaching/preaching of the gospel and worshipping the Lord. Although its not a Christian issue...I do believe that black ppl should have better community programs.
Community programs should come from the NEIGHBORHOOD church FIRST
so true pastor corey amen!
Because Jesus Christ is the head of HIS' Church, we should follow Jesus for example: Jesus Christ, was / is concerned about our salvation and spiritual growth, but yet is also concerned about our physical needs.... This is what the earliest Church, was about... Acts 4 : 32 - 37....
I don’t agree with Umar on ANYTHING but I know some churches that fit the description of his first statement for sure! Mostly in the hyper-charismatic church
Me too. And in low income.
But JesusChrist the power of God, Almighty God, which was outside preaching and teaching the Word of God, In his day, and they killed him, likewise in our day, he put his Spirit in man, and that man is outside.
JesusChrist didn't need no building then, and he don't need one now! when will people wake up out of their sleep, it is definitely time.....
@user-Dayvid1 NO, the Church don't need a building, we are that building. But the Church, the body of Christ believers, must have a place where they can come together and here a word from God, and get encouragement and food for their soul. We must assemble ourselves together, it's a commandment of God.
@@contendingforthefaith9897Hello sister or brother; I understand that, I do, but all in the building are not on one accord, all don't believe as you.
When Jesus shined a shinned a light around Paul from heaven, Acts 9:3), it was because he was a chosen vessel unto God, to bear or carry Jesus name before the Gentiles, and before, kings, and before the children of Israel, or the descendants of the Israelites, Acts 9:15......
We must read, and believe every Word that comes out of the mouth of God, Deuteronomy 8:3, Matthew 4:4, Luke 4:4.
Acts 2:13, Others mocking saying, these men are full of the new wine; all are not on one accord, in one place, focusing on the truth, the Word of God.
14, But Peter stood up with the 11; they were on 1 accord with him, the LordJesus had been pulled them out of the people, the LordJesus showed us that we should make disciples as he did:
But Satan cast some of us, or millions of us into his prison, and called it a church, so they wouldn't know the difference; but God, Almighty God in JesusChrist, got some on the outside looking in; this is not the church that God in JesusChrist, wants to assemble together, many are into the world, many still fornicate, some gang members, some smoke, some love to eat, not judging any of these,
but doing these things, we deny the power of God in JesusChrist, and worship Satan, as Satan said in Isaiah 14:12, I will be like the Most High (God).
People are in the building worshipping the copy, and not the true: now I'm wondering when God will wake up his people, or when they will awake out of their sleep, because the time is short, and at hand, and we need to repent. God in JesusChrist, is telling us to Repent, in this day, this generation, this our, for this wisdom of this world is foolishness to God, 1 Corinthians 3:19, 2:14.
@@contendingforthefaith9897 Contending for the faith! What faith? christianity which is not in the Bible?
Building worship is a joke, a wonna be, of the true, Satan's prison; that's why leaders keep getting caught doing something ungodly, because it is a sign from God, Almighty God in JesusChrist, that building worship is all across the world, crooked, a strait way to hell, all of them.
@@contendingforthefaith9897 I come in peace which I received from JesusChrist, but I'm against Satan!!!!!!
Beautifully preached truth.
Great topic brother, I'm happy to see you speaking on this as a black brother, thank you bro!
Thank you Bro. Corey for this! Invaluable 👍🏾
Thank you for clarifying! You're truly a blessing to the "Body of Jesus Christ".
I am a christian and I believe you personally not liking Dr Umar makes your judgement biased. You literally agreed with 70 percent of what Dr Umar said and added stuff you think he meant and he did not say at all.
Sound teaching as usual Bro. Corey.
One note: the Umar character, to my understanding, does not identify as an atheist.
He claims to practice Igbo style African spirituality and belief in the "Most High" (his words).
One God, one faith, one baptism.
Jesus was not only concerned about people spiritually but naturally. He fed people He commanded his disciples to do so. Here is scripture. There's something truth to what Umar is saying.
Matthew 14:14-21 (KJV) And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
He said, Bring them hither to me.
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
Thank you 👏
And even if Jesus wasn't concerned, we still need to be, because we are living in this world together until we pass on.
@@nativeamericancowboy5028 you speak foolishly
See, this what I have problem with, now Jesus /Church dont see color. Ok people need help, mainly poor blacks, whites, hispanic, etc. No fault of their own. Yes the poor will be among us, its millions .
Oddly, the 5000 yielded 12 baskets for the apostles
The 4000, yielded 7 baskets for apostles
Only Matthew and Mark has both
Luke and John doesn't have the 4000...
They just didn't write it
Blessings Family..
Great content, presentation, and overall the TRUTH! Thank you Corey!:❤
Love your teachings bro, and the way you share God’s truth from the Bible. Stay the course. We hear you. Ian
Well spoken, we are too worried about what we can get from church outside of Christ. Church is for assembly to love Christ together 😮💨
So true thank you
So are you asking that we should not care about the world we live in. If Jesus cared enough to save us why should we not care enough to save others?
The church is for the body of believers to gather together to worship God, lift up one another, exhort one another etc, like the Bible says. We are to go out and tell people about the gospel or invite them to church. But it's mainly for the body of believers. What's wrong with that? It's what the Bible says.
But Jesus fed the poor. I'm sure Jesus would want us and the church to uplift each other.
What about the white churches, racist, white Jesus, the division of the church was white churches , no black could come in . Bring it all full circle Corey
Right, was thinking same thing.
They were wrong & historically inaccurate!!! HOWEVER that doesn't mean U swing the complete opposite way & bcm just as wrong by teaching politics instead of the Bible...
We had a blk "abrtn" preacher run for congress marching in FRONT of the alphabet parade. Did u see pastors joining b l m (an atheist org that was opposed to the nuclear family)??? Also, did u see the Newbirth symbol that was changed??? Google it! (Hint: They added to the cross as if the cross is not enough). These things r also not of Christ!!!
We get it.. there was segregation and slavery and oppression … do you ever look at anything without that lens!?
That's right, the black Church came about through slavery and segregation. Where was the white evangelical so called Christian CONservative during 1960s Civil rights movement? Black people had to rear up black Churches in our community. No, the Church wasn't never ment to be divided or politically base, but what do you expect in the land of CONfusion(Babylon America)??
I agree. There are thousands of white churches, Asians, etc. Operating each Sunday and no one bothers them. Mot churches are homogeneous. But you never hear of how white refused to worship with blacks. Read the history of COGIC started by a black man, had white pastors, but because of hatred and society they had to leave and thus started Assemblies of God. Get off the black church's back. At one time it was all you had. They got you through the Civil Rights movement. But now because you have a few white friends and think you've made it in life, you don't need it. Just stop.
It’s for seeing souls saved . Saved from the sin of the world how messed up can the church get.
This is so on point. We are the Ecclesia - (the called out ones). Out of the world into the Kingdom of GOD.
You hit the nail on the head with this one. We are living in a time where the signs are all around us and because ppl don’t have a personal relationship with God through His word, they can only go by what someone tells them. I’ve said this all along that Jesus never got involved with politics. He could have crushed the Roman system, but He cane to save and give us an example of how we should live. But ppl want things to be their way and so they come up with all of this nonsense and raise leaders to back them in it. Ppl that are truly saved, must get past all of this, follow Christ and live holy and at that point at least God’s ppl would be lined up with His agenda. His agenda is truth and salvation and if more pastors would just teach truth, then ppl would know what to do about worldly agendas and pray for God’s will to be done. One day Jesus will rule this world and then only will it be run as God intended. Pls let’s not get so caught up in worldly events because this world is passing away. But let’s learn truth by studying scripture so that we are prepared to give an account of our lives before Christ. Ultimately, that’s all that matters because heaven and hell are as real as we live and breathe this air today.
God is a Spirit and those that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and Truth...❤❤❤...
😂😂😂
I finally caught a live. Good afternoon, all.
Hi sister, I stand for the truth in JesusChrist; which the building they call church don't. I think they lie, that's why they don't come outside; JesusChrist was always outside.
Church is not for politics it is about sharing the message of Christ and help save souls from eternal damnation. The politics and social matters has in the past had meetings at churches but the main point and need of church was always done
@@PaulWilliams-pn3fl amen
AMEN ❤
The church was on one accord sharing in all things. Talk about that
We need to remember there wasn’t a government hand out. The church cared for their own while not having their own portion of town. Many of these churches were small.

Jesus wasn't black or white, he was Jewish.
Jewish is not a color. Jewish can have different skin color in shades .
@@michaelclayton2323 It's funny that you say Jewish is not a color and then say that it is different color lol.
@eugenebroski Of course like black people, they come in mane different shades of color. But black is not a color, it's a race.
@@michaelclayton2323 I beg to differ. There is only 1 race and that's the human race. We are all decendended from the same blood line from Adam and Eve.
Different shades of skin and slightly different genetic traits are trivial and do not constitute different races.
@eugenebroski same race, but different tribes. Jacob's tribe is twelve. Different nations as well.
Thanks Cory for addressing this biblically. To God be the glory. Jesus said when I am lifted up (on the cross and looked to in faith as the only sacrifice for sin) I will draw men unto me. Repent people and believe His gospel. Amen.
The people in the Bible are the African American people 😮
So sad to see all of MLK’s work go to trash - seems like race is all everyone is focused on in 2024.
I enjoy listening and learning from you. You come out of the book which is great. I can agree with you on your breakdown of these conversations. The only thing I would say is when Dr Umar spoke on single black women and the pastor is correct at "some" churches because they all don't follow Jesus. You are speaking about "the church" but his information comes from "a church." And some of them got some "other" doctrine and motives. Let me end by saying that you do be on point.
I totally agree with you, Mr. Corey. The more about race a church is, the less about Christ it is. The two don't mix.
Thanks Corey
What a great breakdown from the word of God!!!
Amen Brother thanks
Bro Corey, another interesting video. At the 17:40 mark of the video, you said the following; "the only liberation that you should look for from the church is liberation from sin and then ultimately being brought before the Lord in heaven." Let me in good faith push back a little on that statement and I will carefully consider your reply. When you made that statement, my mind went back to the slavery period when black slaves would attend Christian churches and black Chrisitians would go to church during the Jim Crow era between 1877 through the 1960's. Were the slaves and the generations that followed them wrong to cry out before God in the church for liberation from slavery and from unfair treatment during Jim Crow?
Exodus 3:7-states "Then the Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings" It appears the children of Israel were looking for liberation from more than sin but for liberation from slavery.
Exodus 13:14 "And when in time to come your son asks you, 'What does this mean? ' you shall say to him, 'By a strong hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, from the house of slavery. Were the slaves wrong to think that the Lord would liberate them not only from sin but also from the house of slavery just like He did for the children of Israel ? Thank you for your time.
What is man's greatest problem? Sin vs. chattel slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, Trump, Biden, unfair treatment, mass incarceration, etc. Sin will always win. Man is born in sin with a sinful nature that is in enmity with God, which is man's most significant problem. Imagine calling on God to be delivered from Jim Crow, but you haven't submitted to Christ as Lord? What good is it to gain the world and lose your soul?
Israel was God's chosen people. Hence, they were able to call on God and be heard by him.
respectfully,
13 "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.

“Lord God help us to speak the truth in love to those who are being deceived by false teaching as displayed in some of these clips. Thank you Lord. Amen”.
Amen Brother! They are ultimately following the doctrine of demons and it’s rooted in the sin of idolatry. Great segment.
Brother My Heart Cry's . To see that church has become a more racial divide. When the opposite is true. Meaning, Church should be about God alone. Breaking down any wall of indifference between us. God Bless You My Brother. In Jesus Name My Dear Friend.
As a Black man, I grew up in a diverse church that did have a lot of Black members, however I am used to expository preaching. Not reading a couple scriptures and then picking a topic and then preaching with the hype of a B3 organ in the background. They ascribe the emotionalism and the shoutin' to God moving by His spirit. Meanwhile the music is 100mph. I've had my spiritual needs met at the First Presbyterian Church with the worship and foundational Bible teaching. I avoid churches that preach a social gospel. We're just passing through. Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world" These folks today still don't have a clue
Amen! 2 Timothy chapter 3
Glad i dropped religious ignorance more than a decade ago.
Matt 16:18…”Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
Being courage, my brother, God is getting ready to pour out his spirit on all flesh. When the greatest revival of the world has ever seen is gonna start in America, watch and see the glory of the Lord.
Amen brother!
He got all these people in us: where Jesus. The crept in Jude1:4-5
Amen to that first statement. There is only one true church of believers. Those whom God has called and has Put His Spirit in. He said He would call people from all nations (nationalities). If the Spirit of God dwells in you then you are a child of God and part of His church. Nothing else (color, race, and so on) matters!
Bravo Corey!! Absolute truth and well said.
The people in the Bible are the African American people 😮
Everything here 💯. All glory to Christ Jesus continually and eternally. 🙏🏾
If more people would read and try to understand the Bible the will see that everything they are talking about starts at home. The Church is there for believers and follower of Jesus to come together to help support everyone including new believers grow in their faith. Support each other, to make help each other stay on the right when it come to keep their hear, mind, and life heading in the direction of Jesus. We are commanded to separate from the world and build up the body of Christ.
Romans 16:17-19 ESV
I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil.
I absolutely agree with this entire video. The truth is the Black church as a collective has been too involved with identity politics. I used to attend some of those (including some White churches), and I've seen a LOT of apostasy from them. We have been too busy worshipping skin color, political party, and even big time celebrities all while we're basking into victimhood.
The church is not in a building 😢 the body of christ is in the community. The church is the body of Christ.
Did he say Mother God? Yikes!
Nobody reads the Bible... It says head and hair like wool!! Right
Dr Umar is spitting that 🔥 🔥 bruh. We need that.
God warned that in the last days there would be many false profits and false apostles. What's your period it's a false application of the gospel of Jesus. I pray. That God will have mercy on these people and get them saved.Cause they're far from you
Sadly I don't think God is going to hold back just read Numbers um he is no joke 😮
The gospel has no color!!! When you don’t want to bow the knee to Jesus, you come up with all kinds of twisted quotes 😮
Also, Simon not Peter, may have been black, and Simon of Cyrene
They even called him Niger, to separate from Peter
"Black Simon"😉
A house decided against it self can not stand no one is going to help us, so brothers let's be of one accord. We can do this family let's make god great again.
Only he who fells it knows it, I like Dr Umar do feel and see the struggle of our people who work for the system, when the system don’t care about us, we have to save ourselves from the destruction that is set before us, I’m with Dr Umar 💯 , To days Christian need to study and use common sense and don’t be like the sheep lead to the slaughter
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

Sparing brain cells?? That is mad harsh about the Dr. The Holy Spirit of Truth is sufficient. He is a Pan African that worships creation rather than creator. Nothing should surprise us that comes out an agnostic's mouth 🙏🏾 for Dr. Umar.

Corey, I agree with you, however before you are so quick to correct us and saying Jesus is not black why don’t you start with? He’s not white because that’s what we were taught in America that was the picture of Jesus that was given to us so it was thought that he was white Before it was thought that he was black and America.
That's not the point. Jesus's race is irrelevant to Christianity and Christians. His race won't change what He did and WHO He was. I as a black person care more about the fact that He was a sinless man murdered by the pharisees. Killed for our sins, died and rose on the 3rd day. Jesus Christ claimed to be God. Whether He was white or black or blue or violet doesn't change this fact. I look at the content of His character not the colour of His skin.
@@linasuleman5470 And you completely overlooked the point that he was making.
All of this race stuff started with the white churches. Just ignoring this problem won't make it go away.
You're naive also.
Jesus wasn't white with long blond hair and blue eyes. But he wasn't black either. He was Jewish.
@@Ombudsman-jg6mn totally agree, but deal with the original lie The lie that he was white is what spawned or gave birth to a people wanting him to be black. Let’s be real white America created white and black construct attack a symptom not roots probably because his daddy told him there’s no racism.
I've seen Africans paint him African...
Amen teach my brother teach
Well Esther, Paul, and Gideon all defended their people in some way in the Bible. To say the church was not meant to create change, protect, and provide for its people sounds very flawed. Part of the problem in modern church is that we don’t work together as a family . We don’t get involved enough. We just watch and pray and the many bible figure even Noah built a shelter for his people.. So to a certain extent the church is suppose to be resourceful, not just having bible study and praying but be the hands and feet of Jesus on earth. We are suppose to be taking care of orphans, widows, the poor..etc.. what the modern church is doing is trying to get popular and instead of creating change.
