Pastors around the nation followed
the not-guilty verdict in George Zimmerman’s murder trial with some blunt talk
to their flocks on Sunday – many of whom were dressed in hoodies, the
17-year-old now-deceased Trayvon Martin’s signature piece of clothing.
“We should be raising Cain because,
if we don’t, history has a way of repeating itself,” said Rev. Aaron Williams
of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Seattle, Wash., The Blaze reported.
Bishop Victor Couzens of
Inspirational Baptist Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, said similarly, while wearing
a hoodie, WLWT-TV reported.
“We’re standing with the Martin
family, we’re standing with the community,” the bishop said.
Others who participated in “Hoodie
Sunday,” a church-driven effort to show solidarity with Trayvon and his family:
Rev. Tony Lee of the Community of Hope A.M.E. in Temple Hills, Md., WITG-TV reported.
“I don’t want this kind of stuff to
happen to another one of our children,” he said, in the report, while wearing a
hoodie.
And Ebenezer Baptist Church in
Atlanta, Ga., The Blaze reported. Senior Pastor Rev. Raphael Warnock said “we
have a black man in the White House, but Trayvon Martin can’t walk without
suspicion through the streets of his own gated community,” he said. “Here we
are, again … staring in the face of old logic that black life is not as
valuable as white life.”
From our nation to around the world the forces of Satan are at work, as the scriptures say 'we (believers in Yeshua) wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, spiritual wickedness in high places, the rulers of darkness of the world;' in the churches and families. Family and church life are corrupted bcuz of all of the different scriptural error, not taking Yahweh's viewpoint on everything.
