The Church Where God Wasn't Welcome
There was a dear black saint of God who happened to enter a fashionable church.
After the service he approached the preacher and told him that he wanted very much to
join the church. The pastor knew that his consent to such a request would certainly not
meet with the approval of the official board of the church and of the congregation. At
the same time he did not want to appear cruel and harsh. So he said to this man,
"John, go home and pray for two weeks for the Lord to guide you definitely whether He
wants you to join this church." Accordingly, humble John took the advice and went
home. When the two weeks were up, he came again to the church, and after the
service the preacher said to him, "John, what was the guidance of God?" "Sir," John
replied, "God told me that He has been trying to get in here for the past fifteen years
and He hasn't succeeded, so I had better give up trying where God cannot find
entrance."
