Black Church or No Church

     Many people believe that Black churches have evolved into something that should be interrogated and frowned upon. They recall Black churches in the past to be completely focused on religion and all aspects of it; Jesus and the fullness of the Bible. They remember praising in sincerity and concentrating on living right to ensure their entry into the pearly gates of heaven. 

     As of now, Black churches are viewed as materialistic and monetarily motivated. Pastors, preachers and ministers are not expected to have a yearly income that contains six digits or more, for if they do it is suspected that they forgot where they came from and are now caught up in the world. A lot of pressure is being placed on the pastors of today especially after the Eddie Long case. However, I still believe that one person shouldn't screw up the views of others. And it must be kept in mind that people make mistakes and no one is perfect; even the man or woman leading the house of God.
