Can’t we all just get along? –

The only thing that can stop black on black carnage is spiritual teaching and training grounded in family, Christian understanding and church teaching in the way of the Lord”.

This is spiritually-socioeconomically detrimental to the Black community and spiritually unacceptable both to God and mankind.

Black churches are in God’s crosshairs, and therefore, must have a “come-to-Jesus experience” that is become born-again Christians and experience a rebirth of spiritual purposes/salvation.

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance, seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to open shame.”

Black communities, do not become envious of the material riches of evil men nor desire to imitate them, because: “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.”
