I'm Having A Hard Time Hearing You "Brotha/Sista"

Let me say this clearly: WHITE POLICE OFFICERS UNJUSTLY KILLING BLACK FOLKS HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH BLACK FOLKS ADDRESSING BLACK ON BLACK CRIME, SALVATION, OR OUR COMMUNITY ISSUES. You can make all the speeches or posts you want about "our" issues and preaching the gospel but that is not going to stop the police from putting a bullet in you or beating you to death. If you say the gospel is the solution and we need to preach it and live it then make sure you take that same message down to the local police station and preach it there too as well as on the steps of each city hall and state capital. We know "sin" is the main issue for all humanity, but injustice is a symptom of the sin we're in. If you're going to preach the gospel against sin then you can't ignore addressing injustice and truly call it the gospel.

Repentance, Restitution, Restoration & the Minister

If you are convicted of a crime the judge never leaves it to you to determine your own sentencing. Often you also have to pay restitution to compensate the victim, or their family, or the state. You may have asked for forgiveness but will still have to deal with the consequences of the crime such as being incarcerated for what can be a lengthy time depending on your crime, and before the state will grant you parole or release they want to see proof of contrition and restitution to be convinced of your rehabilitation. When a spiritual leader like a pastor or such commits a lascivious or egregious sin, especially over an extended period of time, it has damaging effects on everyone who looked to them for leadership. It is even more damaging when the leader is also the one deciding their own discipline and restoration. A lack of accountability is usually how they fell in the first place, and now even after their fall they continue the same way by being accountable to no one.
