Let's Talk Saturday's---We're All Prostitutes ???



Social media never lets me down when it comes to content πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Y'all. When I tell y'all I was heated when I saw this. The level of disrespect and blatant ignorance was unreal. I guess this is a little much for me to take in because I didn't grow up in the Black church. The church I grew up in wasn't even traditional in the sense of apparel and appearance. In fact, it was pretty casual. With that being said, it's a lot for me to watch this video an feel like people's appearance is being attacked. 

Honestly, this video is exactly what is wrong with the church. You cannot preach something like this shaming people for stuff like that. You don't know what people have going on. Some people come to church and their clothing may be a little tight or revealing, but that may be all they have. You don't know. I remember being in undergrad and there was a girl who literally wore club dresses everywhere. We called her "club clothes shawty." I never knew her name, but it might've taken about 2 or 3 years for her to update her wardrobe. We were broke college students. We didn't have a lot of money to splurge on anything. When people come to church sometimes they are simply coming on hope and a prayer confirming that things will turn for them. 

Breaking down people's appearance like that, deters people from the church. People feel like if they don't look a certain way or if they don't live a certain lifestyle, then they can't come to church. That's not what is supposed to happen. You can not shut people out like that. Even if he or she was a prostitute, God can deliver him or her too. And another thing breaking down, appearance like that is absolutely ridiculous. Lord forgive me for what I'm about to say, but I really want to know what kind of dog looking woman does he have at home? 

Appearance, in the context that he put it in, has nothing to do with how "saved" someone is. My first lady is beautiful, but she wears a weave acrylics, heels, red lipstick, all of that and I know that she is not a prostitute. You can be a church mother and still be a sanctified whore. I'm just saying. I've seen plenty of church leaders sleeping around and nobody would've ever  even known. 

But if they give me the chance
I only want to make it to the altar to see the man
That's why I came today to change my ways
And I am not ashamed but they're pushing me away
