Video: Crystal Springs Church that refused to marry black couple releases apology

This is an update, regarding the black couple who was not allowed to hold their wedding in a white church. In the 21st century, First Baptist Church in Crystal Springs, Mississippi has issued an apology for not allowing the Wilson's to hold their wedding there. We just cannot understand why certain parts of America are still dealing with the same old issue of racial discrimination when other parts are in controversy, regarding same sex marriage? Why is there still racism, even in the church, which is supposed to be God's House? Here we go again, like many other African Americans, the Wilson's finally received their apology for being judged by their skin color.

Time and time again, eventually African Americans receive an apology for facing racial discrimination, but it is so tiring in the 21st century. As we mentioned in our previous article, the body of Christ will remain weak to stand against issues like gay marriage, if we do not learn to leave prejudice out of the House of God. God is not pleased with this ancient issue, always being brought up on His land, because what this does is divides the body of Christ and strengthens certain groups like homosexuals to make marriage legal in America. We should not be living in an era like similar to Jim Crow, this is just ridiculous.

SCR readers, Jesus is on His way back. When Jesus Christ told us in His Word, he would come like a thief in the night, He meant it and if we are not ready, we are going to miss the rapture. How many times have we informed you, racism was invented by the Devil to take away focus off of God's Kingdom? Yes, we really do believe racism was invented by Satan and this is why there are strongholds within our society of America where there is supposed to be so much diversity.

The church member speaking on this following video claims there were some individuals who intimidated the pastor. Then, we hear the pastor admit he did not want to cause a controversy. In our opinion, church members are not supposed to rule the pastor, the pastor is the head of the church and he or she should have the power to marry a black couple in a white church or even a white couple in a black church. Really saints of God, there should not be any white or black church, it's God's church and we are His people who are supposed to have no trace of racism in our spirits. When we stand in judgement at the end of our lives, God is going to reveal our lives to us and it is very scary to think about it, after acknowledging there are is still racism in this era, even within the church. No wonder, many political legislatures are not paying attention to Christians whom oppose gay marriage. When they see this kind of mess, they will pay no attention to what is right and wrong. Therefore, this ancient demon of racism must cease the entire body of Christ.

You know, another thing we find very interesting is the documentary, 'Finding Booker's Place' we saw on Dateline NBC, at the end a few African Americans spoke as though they dealt with no racism and they were in unity with white Mississippians. This does not seem to be the case, after hearing about the Wilson's not being able to be married in a church where whites are the majority.

In the meantime, we are going to pray for the Wilson's. Also, we will continue to pray against the demon of racism that goes on anywhere in America.

Church that refused to marry black couple releases apology

By Jeffrey Elizabeth Copeland, CNN

(CNN)–After barring a black couple from marrying in its Mississippi facility in late July, the First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs released a statement Sunday apologizing for its actions.

“We, the church, realize that the Hendersons and Wilsons should never have been asked to relocate their wedding. This wrong decision resulted in hurt and sadness for everyone. Both the pastor and those involved in the wedding location being changed have expressed their regrets and sorrow for their actions,” the church said.

Te’Andrea and Charles Wilson planned for months to marry at the First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs...Read full article, here.

White Church Bans Black Couple's Wedding: Why are we still dealing with racial issues in the church?

In the 21st century, this black couple, Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson was denied to have a wedding at a white church in Crystal Springs, MS.   This situation is very foreign to us who are living in a society that is so diverse, but yet dealing with controversial issues of gay marriage, even in the church.   However, many African Americans whom reside in the deep South in states like Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina and even Alabama are yet dealing with racial inequality.   We cannot understand why we yet face such issues of racial discrimination when the true body of Christ is trying to combat same sex couples from changing God's original plan for marriage in America and also in foreign countries.

Furthermore, we cannot comprehend why Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson did not just leave and allow another pastor to marry them, if they could not have a wedding in this white church, which is supposed to be God's House?   Although, this married couple was visiting this church and did not join, it makes us wonder about their personal preferences. What made them choose to be among an all white congregation, as though they did not think they would face such prejudice in Mississippi? Maybe they think we all have arrived, but really we have not in those specific states mentioned above, because racial discrimination is still a big issue among them. Possibly, the Wilson's were tired of the ignorance among their own race of people and thought the white congregants would show them more love, which has not always worked in the history of America. Whatever the case, Satan has a plan for each part of the country in America. If you notice, in some states, there is division about homosexuality and in other states, there are still ancient divisions among races as though they are yet living back in the Jim Crow era.   Saints of God, what this couple experienced was only a game planned by demonic forces.   Now, if a gay couple was to try and get married in that same church, we wonder what would happen? Would they accept a white gay couple or would they deny them, because it is a sin, according to God's Word? Sometimes, in our opinion, we think white gays are more accepted than African Americans in this age, but in Mississippi, they may not have embraced gay marriage, but it would be very interesting to find out where they stand on that issue.

Saints of God, the white church, black church and even multicultural churches are missing out on God and may end up in hell, because they are not supposed to be focusing on race. Race should no longer divide the true body of Christ.   How are we ever going to stand strong in unity against Satan's tactics of homosexuality being condoned in this country, if we do not avoid racism?

Terry Rawls Arrested And Charged With Matthew Owens Beating: One Attacker Shouts 'It's Justice For Trayvon': Really?

These series of cases, involving African Americans suddenly acting out in violence to get justice for Trayvon is ridiculous. Those of you whom are 30 years or older can recall decades prior, there was hardly any unity among black people. Our race and even our own families would laugh while we faced personal situations of racial discrimination. Now, we see many of them acting like Terry Rawls, which is very unfair to many of us whom did not have any support in previous years while facing racial discrimination. Those of us whom are wise saints of God who happened to be black realize it is time to seek God, rather than go back in time to fight with a race that mistreated us, along with white supremacists years ago. Saints of God, it is time for a revival, if we have any sense, we would realize it is too late for any more civil rights movements to occur. This spiritual battle is much more than racial discrimination and if these pastors, bishops and civil rights activists like Rev. Al Sharpton do not start telling the truth, there is going to be a price to pay after judgement. There is another world much worse than earth, if we do not get our souls right with God, no matter what race or age we are.

If you do not know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, please go to our salvation page, then videos page and get to know Him and leave all of this animosity of racial issues in the past. We do not have time to join the masses of people whom are spiritually lost, but our time should be spent witnessing for God and winning souls into His Kingdom.

The Huffington Post | By Andy Campbell

Cops in Mobile, Ala. made their first arrest in the apparent mob beating of Matthew Owens: Terry Rawls surrendered Wednesday on assault charges.

In less than a week, the brutal attack on Owens -- which left him in critical condition -- went from being described as a hate crime connected to the Trayvon Martin killing in Florida to an ongoing feud between neighbors, WKRG reported.

"This here is an ongoing dispute with neighbors, that's what this is," Mobile Police Corporal Chris Levy told the station.

God Could Be Trying to Get Attention of African Americans Since Trayvon Martin's Murder Like Several Other Previous Racial Tragedies

If you are old enough to recall the 1980's, you can remember those were the very active years among African Americans whom were not afraid to speak out against racial discrimination. However, it seems since many African Americans have arrived to blend into diversity, many of them have forgotten about the struggles during the civil rights movement and when Rev. Al Sharpton was extremely active leading marches against racial discrimination during the 1980's. Now, since there has been so much diversity and many African Americans have intermarried with other races and bore bi-racial children, they seem to have neglected considering the causes of those whom have experienced racial discrimination. Furthermore, it seems like many African Americans have been so free, because so often many have stated racism is a problem that is behind us, they have also cease biblical laws against sin. Many now fight for the rights of homosexuality and have no consideration to unite to combat racial discrimination like in this recent case of the Trayvon Martin murder. They have became united with those whom are enemies of God and His biblical commandments. God seems to be trying to get attention of the race of black people as though He is trying to tell them not to forget who He is, slavery He saved them from and not to turn their backs on their own race whom are willing to peacefully unite. These tragedies just do not occur for no reason, there is always a spiritual message and lesson to learn from God. It is time for African Americans to seek Him.

Throughout the Holy Bible, we can recall stories of war between tribes. According to God's Word, certain tribes rebelled against God. The Children of Israel were a rebellious tribe and every-time God delivered them from their enemies, they would rebel and refuse to serve Him. King Pharaoh had such dominion over the Children of Israel and there were various other stories in God's Word that informs us that whenever He is not pleased with us, He cannot do anything for us until we submit to His will and His way. In 2 Choronicles 7:14, the scripture tell us: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." In Isaiah 48:18, God says, 'O that you had hearkened to my commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea..." In Psalm 81: 13 God says, "If my people would but listen to me, if Israel would follow my ways, how quickly would I subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes!" Therefore, foremost, God wants African Americans to not forget one of God's greatest miracles, He delivered their fore-mothers and forefathers from slavery. Furthermore, many African Americans have became atheists and followers of man-made doctrines, in recent years the most popular one is the Gospel of Inclusion, which allegedly opposes of God's main commandments against sin. Many have chosen to follow the beliefs of Bishop Carlton Pearson and other gay affirming ministers whom have allegedly claimed there is no hell, no Devil nor demons and all sinners go to heaven without repentance. God uses certain cases to get people's attention and in this case of Trayvon Martin, there is a great possibility he allowed this teen to face persecution of racial discrimination, because He is tired of many African Americans hating themselves and each other and most of all not loving, serving and obeying Him and His Word. Trayvon Martin's murder was a very serious case and like many other tragedies, God wants humanity to worship Him and stop rebelling against His Word, that's it. However, regardless of other races choosing to follow man-made religions and false doctrines, African Americans have no business taking part in any of them, because they are the offspring of prior slaves in America and God created them to be different, holy and righteous. There was a spiritual purpose for slavery, to draw black people to Him.

Secondly, we feel it is so obvious God wants more love among African Americans. There has been too much hatred among black people since they have been blessed with equality, after the era of the civil rights movement. Many African Americans have chosen to unite with some enemies of other races whom despise the entire race of black people, which is absurd. How can African American combat racial discrimination like in this case of Trayvon Martin, if many yet hate their own race and yet despise darker skin shades? There is no way there can ever be strength among a race that has not stopped discriminating against their own race and flaunt their unity with other races to offend them. Furthermore, over the years, many black people have murdered their own race by selling them drugs and have allowed gang war in their neighborhoods all over America. Do you think God is pleased with all of this genocide? Absolutely not. God wants African Americans to wake up and stop hating His creation by speaking evil words or killing their own race with a weapon. Trayvon Martin is an innocent soul whom unknowingly and possibly died for a cause and this cause if for unity among African Americans and most of all for them to love and serve God.

God does not want anyone of any race to ignore His voice, but because African Americans are an offspring of slaves of previous times in America, He no doubt feels they ought to serve him, even if no other race totally submits to Him. We all should learn something from the shooting death of Trayvon Martin before future situations could occur. Before Trayvon Martin, after the civil rights movement, there have been many reported cases of racial discrimination. Over the years, it seemed as though many black people turned cold to those whom admitted it. Now, these cases maybe starting to pop up more than ever and many may expect for all African Americans to unite and no longer be so cold when someone admits they are facing racial discrimination, but without their repentance to God to each other it would be impossible. Cold attitudes many times come from those whom are among diverse communities who resist being black, neglect and reject those whom are black and these are the ones whom never complain until racial discrimination comes against them, personally. These sort of attitudes came in the 1990's until this present time. It is time to stop pretending that we have finally overcame as race, because if African Americans are not serving God and completely surrendering to His will, there will never be enough unity to defeat racism. As they continue to pretend there is no problem with racial discrimination in the midst of will only weaken African Americans as a whole.

30 Students in Racial Brawl at Calif. High School: Satan's Ancient Plot to Destroy Humanity

It is very sad that Satan has used racism to kill humanity, even when it is among our youth. Just as there is racial division among whites and blacks, there remains to be much racial discrimination among blacks and Latinos and because of it, we cannot comprehend why we cannot even get African Americans to love and respect their own race, the more they are hated by others of various races. This proves Satan and his demons have controlled racism to destroy humanity, especially African Americans, because he know many of them hate being black and even others like themselves. However, because many black people are not born again Christians, they fail to see through a spiritual eye, which reveals Satan's ancient plot. For many years, it seems like the more African Americans have fought racism, the more divided they have become, because many have been so quick to admit they hate being black. As we pointed out yesterday in a previous article, the Bible says in Solomon 1:6, 'don't hate me because I am black'. This scripture is not just for many whites, Latinos and even Asians whom hate blacks, it also goes for many blacks whom hate themselves and each other. For example, according to the theurbandaily.com, Lil Wayne has been a black celebrity whom has allegedly said about his own little girl, "“MY daughter is the first and last dark skin child im having..." Therefore, this is why we see so much hatred against black people, because many fail and refuse to even love and respect their own kind and God does not like it.

We are using Lil' Wayne as an example, because obviously like many African Americans whom are not born again Christians and even those whom claim to know Jesus Christ have a shade issue that comes straight from the pit of hell. So you see, whenever there is racial issues between whites and blacks or Latinos and blacks, then it is only because it is a spiritual backlash from many prejudice among black people who hate themselves and each other and as long as they continue to say things like Lil' Wayne allegedly said, there will always be racial hostility among African Americans and other races. All Satan is doing right now is laughing, because he is using our children to destroy each other, but even among black youth, there is murder. All African Americans should repent to God for resenting how He created them and placing their hurt on others, because this racial disputes with black and other races will never stop unless African Americans learn to like, love and respect themselves, including others like them.
