How the White Church Mistook Power for Purpose
Note: This post critiques systems, not individuals. We honor the faithful remnant within the White Church who continue to follow Yeshua, even when institutions have strayed.
“I will bless you… and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
— Genesis 12:2–3
“Go and make disciples of all nations…”
— Matthew 28:19
The White Church Was Called—But Not to Conquest
The White Church was indeed called.
But not to dominate.
Not to colonize.
Not to build kingdoms of man in the name of the King of Kings.
It was called—like all the followers of Messiah—to reflect Yah’s covenant love, His justice, His mercy, and His kingdom ways.
To be a blessing to all nations.
To make disciples, not demands.
To proclaim the good news of liberation, not enforce political religion.
But from its earliest days on this continent, the White Church misunderstood the mission.
When Empire Answered the Call
Long before the gospel reached the Americas, it had already been entangled with empire.
From the Roman embrace of Christianity under Constantine to the colonial missions of Europe, the church had learned how to build power instead of pursue presence.
So when European settlers landed on Indigenous land, the pattern repeated:
A cross in one hand.
A sword in the other.
Land taken. People displaced. Cultures erased.
And all in the name of a “Great Commission.”
But the kingdom of Yah never comes through conquest.
“My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, My servants would fight…”
— John 18:36
The Institution Replaced the Ekklesia
The true ekklesia is not a building. Not a brand. Not a political power base.
It is a called-out people—a covenant community marked by humility, holiness, and sacrificial love.
But the White Church, under empire, became an institution:
Aligned with colonizers instead of the oppressed
Integrated with state power rather than set apart
More loyal to comfort than covenant
It built cathedrals but neglected character.
It structured authority but abandoned accountability.
It declared nations Christian without forming disciples of Messiah.
Still, the Calling Remains
Despite the distortion, Yah’s call remains.
The invitation is not revoked.
The Great Commission still stands—but it must be reclaimed, not rebranded.
Yah never called His people to become a civil religion.
He called them to be a royal priesthood—serving the nations, not ruling over them.
“Come out of her, My people…”
— Revelation 18:4
The White Church was called:
To bless, not to dominate
To serve, not to control
To build covenant communities, not religious empires
The mission hasn’t changed.
But to walk in it now will require repentance, humility, and the courage to leave behind what was never from Yah in the first place.
Can the Church Hear the Call Again?
The ekklesia is stirring.
A remnant is awakening.
But the institution?
It often confuses its power for faithfulness, its size for fruit, its tradition for truth.
The question is not whether Yah still calls.
The question is: Will His people listen—and come out of what they’ve built without Him?
