Hello World,
When will our country ever be rid of racism? Sometimes, I feel pretty hopeless about the prospect. That may never happen in the country at large, but what about in the church? Check out this letter that Rev. Dwight McKissic, Sr., founder and current senior pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas recently received.
There is an element among Southern Baptists who believe that racism is a myth and systemic injustice no longer exists….

Also recently, McKissic announced that he and his church were leaving the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention. Below is an article in which he is interviewed about his decision.
Why did you decide to leave the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention?
At their annual state convention, the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention passed a resolution, essentially denouncing critical race theory. Having some limited understanding of it, I could not embrace where the SBTC was on that question so I’m no longer compatible with them and made the decision that we need to disengage from them. As a matter of fact, I got the confirmation today they received our letter. See the rest HERE.
Just pathetic…
Any thoughts?
This is just sad! But we will get through this because love will always conquer hate! The best black churches in Houston like https://lhhouston.church/ and all around will never lose to hate and evil! We will survive and be victors in spreading God’s love!
This is sad and as a member of one of the black churches in Houston, https://lhhouston.church/ , I really long and pray for better days wherein hate and inequality will cease to exist and only God’s love will rule the land!
