The black church was a very refreshing place to worship! The people were super friendly and frankly, put us holiness people to shame! The songs were very uplifting and the message was practical, down-to-earth and convicting! A quote the speaker said, "If we don't have anything at risk, we haven't really given up anything." This is as general statement, but can apply to multiple areas in our lives. What a thought provoker!

I completely agree with your comments about Cornerstone Baptist. For years I hated going to church, largely because of the dry, stale, Pennsylvania-Dutch worship (can you even call it that?). Our church is definitely more alive than what I grew up in, even if it isn't a "black church."
