I told a group of white brothers that one of the tensions that divide blacks and whites in the body of Christ is that participation only seems to work one way.

I said bluntly,
"Whites always want blacks to come to their stuff but [it seems] whites don't think it's worthwhile to go where black are hosting [namely, where blacks are leading]."

You know what they did?

They said, "Thank you."

What's perhaps more remarkable is what they didn't do. Because their hearts desire was for His righteousness and correction, instead of justification, they did not recoil, they did not deflect AND they did NOT necessarily agree with me. But, they stood on the sure foundation of Christ, willing to set whatever was necessary aside, in order to meet me there, to the end that other sheep of other folds that hear and follow the voice of Jesus would be One –one flock with one Shepherd. (John 10:16)
