Iron Sharpens Iron: Louis C. Love, Jr.: The Doors of the Church are Opened (And How I Walked In)!: An African American's Journey into Reformed Christianity

This was a great video on Iron Sharpens Iron of Pastor Louis C. Love, Jr.  on how he as an African American begain to agree with the theology of Calvinism (aka The doctrines of Grace). I really enjoyed him. It's been my experience that my African-American ancestors accepted God's sovereignty in their lives although they may not had articulated a systematic theology as the reformed denominations have. How else could you accept your station in life as a slave or a persecuted minority and a sovereign all-powerful God unless you believe that God has a purpose for everything and that he will deliver you? It has been my experience that most African-American churches are not theologically centered but deal mostly with emotion. WE say we believe the Bible. We say we want to live Holy and that Jesus redeemed us, but few of us really think through what all of those things mean.  Listen to the interview from the link below. The Pie chart above shows the religions of African Americans.
