This post was written by my beloved brother Don aka Barnabas  ponder these words and let me here from you what these words bring to your mind??? God bless you and know that you are not only in my prayers but my thoughts also :)




The Body of Christ (Something to think about)

White Man.....Sitting in your pew


Surrounded by your "white brothers"


"Comfortable" in your white church.


Did you read?


Have you heard?


Heaven's going to have people from every tribe and tongue (See Revelation 5:7-10).



For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son.


That whosoever (that's whosoever!) believes in Him


would not perish,


but would inherit eternal life! (John 3:16)





Black Man....Sitting in your pew


Saying "Amen brother!" to the preacher


Surrounded by your "black brothers"


"Comfortable" in your black church.


Did you read?


Have you heard?


Heaven's going to have people from every tribe and tongue (See Revelation 5:7-10).



For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son.


That whosoever (that's whosoever!) believes in Him


would not perish,


but would inherit eternal life! (John 3:16)





Affluent Man....Sitting in your pew


Surrounded by your "affluent brothers".


"Comfortable" in your affluent church.


Looking perfect.


Did you know?


Have you heard?


That person who has struggles


That you and I can only imagine...


Disabled....Possibly disfigured.


That person.....


Might be the one whom God blesses


To be our worship leader in Heaven.




For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son.


That whosoever (that's whosoever!) believes in Him


would not perish,


but would inherit eternal life! (John 3:16)





Faithful brother of the "White Carpet" denomination...Sitting in your pew


Surrounded by your brothers of the "White Carpet" denomination.


Secure in your theology


that the white carpet


properly shows a picture of our state of grace.


"Washed in the blood, we're now in robes of white." (Revelation 7:13:14)


"Knowing" that the "Red Carpet" denomination has it all wrong.





Faithful brother of the "Red Carpet" denomination...Sitting in your pew


Surrounded by your brothers of the "Red Carpet" denomination.


Secure in your theology


that the carpet must be a picture


It has to be a picture


of the blood that Christ spilled on Calvary (Revelation 7:13-14)


"Knowing" that the "White Carpet" denomination has it all wrong...


"By this, all will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." ...Quote from Jesus Christ (30-33 AD) (John 13:35)
