They could not merely correct wrongs that are occurring in black theology nowadays, but also the white-bread mono-color masses of shallow evangelicals of our day as well. The Sovereign Grace Chapel has a message that more than just black people need to hear. Or, for that matter, they could provide a welcome mix to the almost entirely white and largely southern and lower middle class group that makes up most sovereign grace baptists - a great group that could become all the greater with some cross-pollination of ideas. All groups can easily mistake culture with Christ and common ways of doing things with the Biblical way. For these reasons a multi-national, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural mix of peoples all holding firmly to the Sovereignty of God is a very great blessing indeed and glorifies our global God. I am as white as they come and never even talked to a black person until I was in 6th grade I think....as white-bread as they come. My wife and I felt more welcome at their church during the year the I lived in Winston-Salem than almost any other church. A great testimony to the strength of their doctrine and the hospitality of their people.
