Chicago Church Fasting From Whiteness for Lent

National Review – A church in the suburbs of Chicago says it is “fasting from whiteness” during Lent, the 40-day period leading up to Easter.

“For Lent this year, First United is doing a mix of ‘giving something up’ and ‘taking something on,’” the First United Church of Oak Park wrote on its website. “In our worship services throughout Lent, we will not be using any music or liturgy written or composed by white people.

Any Christian leader who perverts God’s message will stand before God for their judgement. I’m glad I won’t be there to witness what happens to them. God’s holy justice will be righteous. His wrath will be final.

  1. I’d like a day off from blackness however it appears on every TV show, movie, commercial, print ad, government program, radio program, MSM, etc.

    I can’t get away from the bitching and moaning about my whiteness and their horseshit made-up oppression.

    How about a National Holiday where blacks simply SHUT THE FUCK UP?

    See, I feel just the opposite. There is so little justice in our world lately and I know that the evildoers will all get their comeuppance when they stand to atone in front of their creator, but to be a fly on the wall when their facade of social justice and equity can’t protect them from our final arbiter, totally worth it.

  3. Thank you, please don’t, as white music deserves so much better than your alternative. Don’t insult white people, God says to love thy neighbor as thyself. From their website: For Lent, it is our prayer that in our spiritual disciplines we may grow as Christians, united in the body of Christ with people of all ages, nations, races, and origins.

    Leave me out of your body of Christ, by your fruits I know who you are.

  4. “1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.

    2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.”
    Jeremiah 23:1-2

  6. …I’m liking Ripple for the communion wine, but I’m torn between rib tips or waffle fries for the Body of Christ. What do you think? Oh, NO crackers! Slavery, donchaknow….

  7. …sounds like they are giving up salvation for Lent, actually…

    “John 7:24 – Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

    Romans 10:12 – For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

    1 John 2:9 – He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

    James 2:9 – But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

    Romans 2:11 – For there is no respect of persons with God.

    John 13:34 – A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

    Revelation 7:9 – After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

    1 Samuel 16:7 – But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”

  8. …thanks Goldenfoxx, but its Whypepoe hating time right now.

    Anyway, I think “Turned Down For What?” for the recessional. It invites the Blsck congregation to keep on dancing, and the honkeys won’t get it!

  9. What about that white guy who hung on the cross and died to take away their (and our) sins and resurrected bodily three days later to give all of us the hope of eternal life? Oh wait…

    Those that don’t repent of their social gospel will not experience that resurrection power.

  10. Headed to Wednesday night service at my mixed race Church in a Black neighborhood right now. We use the red back hymnal popular in many Protestant denominations. I don’t think any of the songs are newer than 1935, and the race of the songwriters are not mentioned because they are completely irrelevant. Black and White together sings “Amazing Grace” and “Nothing But The Blood” together without reservation.

    Because we are singing to the Lord, not to Man.

    And the only color He sees is the red of the Blood of His Son that covers us all.

  11. …it’s just the Word coming true, is all…

    “1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

    2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

    3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

    4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”
    2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

  12. Again….”They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and worthless for doing anything good”. Titus 1:16

    No Christian judges by color, period.

  13. If I were a member of a church that declared whiteness to be a sin and highly recommended that their parishioners to fast and repent their whiteness for Lent I would be out of that church so fast their heads would spin and never under any circumstances ever go back to that church again. Why should I repent and fast because I’m white when God created me to be a white male heterosexual in the mid 20th Century 90 years after the Civil war ended. Some of my ancestors fought on both sides of the Civil War and I am not responsible for the sins of my forebearers ever. The blood of over 600,000 + soldiers on both sides of the Civil war atoned for slavery nearly 160 years ago.

  14. Their website is shut down because of so much traffic. I presume from people wanting to give them a piece of their mind. The “pastor” and the entire church are racist, chicken shit wipes.

  15. If that church wants to be woke, they should realize that most people of color that are Christian are probably so because of white missionaries. That would be a form or result of colonization and white supremacy, so they should be railing against it.
