Mi-use of the Phrase,The Lord Giveth and the Lord Taketh Away
 

Recently I attended a funeral where several ministers lined the pulpit. One was the host and another, a women minister, did the service. I didn't go to look for judgement but when you have grown into another level of understanding then foolishness just pops out all around you. You see more clearly than ever before. We are to observe one another and try the spirit. But if you don't no anything then all things seem in order.

 

One thing you can bet own coming from all ministers is a lie in the first two minutes or less from the time they open their mouth. Such was the case with the host minister who's job it was to rouse the family and people. While hollering and screaming he said, "lets give God a praise" that sent the crowd into a spasm of cheering, hollering and clapping hands back at him. Actions of passion are needed but in order.

Now it was time for him to deliver his second lie to the people. In less than two minutes he said to the congregation while screaming, "God brought us here today for this moment!" Now I wasn't there to critique but this hit me no sooner than he said it. "Now why would God be so interested in a funeral and why would he, and he wouldn't, go around to all the people and tell them to meet at this particular temple for this particular funeral? Why would God want to attend a funeral in the first place? He wouldn't! God could care less about funerals. If he did he wouldn't have time for nothing else since someone dies every 3 seconds. So that preacher lied. Think about it!

Now it was time for the service to start. The woman preacher stood and began screaming to the top of her voice telling the crowd that we all must live and die and that we die once. The crowd came to their feet and the organ player hit the music and the crowd went wild standing and waving their hands like they were told something they never heard before.

But before I began I would like to say I do not know why black ministers scream and holler. I do not know why white ministers copy the black ministers and do the same. As I read my bible I cannot find one prophet or disciples that screamed and acted like they was possessed with a hollering demon.

Jesus never did it either. So where did they come up with this ear pounding shrieking ridiculous actions? They created it! Some one down the line did it and it became a "thang! A "hit!". People had what they call "a good time" and it was copied from one to the other. Satan saw another way to further demeanor God's people.

There is no such thing as screaming when you are teaching. A school teacher or college teacher would be fired if they hollered and screamed at students, especially those in much lower grades. Church is suppose to be a place of spiritual learning for the heart, soul and mind practicing love and forgiveness through actions.  But yet, it is the place that show more foolishness of twisted attitudes and behavior than all other learning institutions when it should be the place to set examples and the world take examples from it.

Now back to the funeral and this minister's two minutes to lie. continue ....
