White Hanky Award: "Hypocricy" by Anonymous Commenter

** I've visited a couple of "African-American" churches -  of course they would welcome anybody, but they were primarily filled with African-Americans.  They were so warm and loving.  The services were exciting and the joy of the Lord was acknowledged loudly and from the heart.   I love to see how other churches praise God. … Continue reading White Hanky Award: "Hypocricy" by Anonymous Commenter

Google Reviews

Somehow someone has been able to manipulate the Google reviews so that the church members' reviews stay on top, pushing down the negative reviews.   Below is a new review today.  I had completely forgotten about the weird foot washings and triple-dipping baptisms.  That is why this blog can be very helpful.  When you are… Continue reading Google Reviews
