What I learned at Church

Today, I had an amazing time at Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. The pastor was on fire with his message. The energy in the congregation made you feel as though you were family.

 The times I have visited I had always felt inspired by the message of the preachers. I am definitely going to make Abyssinian my church home.

The Rev Butt's forcefully preach on the need for courage. There was a point in which he referenced Justice Thomas and the lack of courage that he had when striking down the Voters Rights Act. What stuck with me the most was when he said it's about standing up courageously to fight for justice not just singing about it, or clapping your hands the loudest.  I wouldn't like to paraphrase the Rev because I would not be able to do his sermon justice. (Def check out Aby.)

I will pass this that I learned today. To fear a man is to doubt GOD.
