Wow
I'm suprised I haven't commented on this subject...
For some it is a matter of opinion... for me it is a matter of truth that Jesus is the center of my life... he died for my sins and paid the cost of salvation, He has purchased men for the Lord and I believe that you truly need Jesus to live a moral and ethical life in his will... Amen!
But it is always a matter of opinion...
As for life's circumstances such as one pledging a sorority I don't feel it is necessary for someone to be a church goer, or even saved for that matter to be a part of a sorority. But you must look at the roots of black people in a baptist tradition that preached Jesus during slavery and beyond. most of the NPHC was founded by God fearing men and women who I'm sure have Godly principles in their doctrine. I do feel though (and these are personal feelings and no one elses) that it would be benificial to have a spiiritual center and I feel it happens with the embodiment of the Holy Spirit into the soul of the believer.
But you must remember that Jesus is a personal choice. When you force church down someones throat you don't have the genuine feelings of the person at heart here. If I was "forced" to be in a setting where Jesus was not being preached I would not be a happy camper...
Sexy Mocha... you hit it on the dot honey,
If you can see the basketball games on Sunday and go to work faithfully you can also give the Lord praise when you can...
Although if I am lucky enough... I want some God fearing line sisters to pray with... (hopefully)
