The Importance of Taking the Church Seriously (YBW Focus #46)

Another reason why many young black women today, do not take God, the Bible, and the Church seriously is because they became a part of the church, but the church never became a part of them. Oh, yes, you may have been in church every Sunday morning and every Wednesday night, from the time you were a little girl—singing in the choir, helping on the usher board, directing the children’s choir, helping Granny clean the church, helping to cook the fellowship dinners, and paying your tithes, but you were doing those deeds out of habit or out of obedience to your parents. You were simply going through the motions. The church never really became a part of you because you really did not see its significance in your life.
