I AM BLACK HISTORY

Police killed at least 102 unarmed black people in 2015, nearly twice each week.

Nearly 1 in 3 black people killed by police in 2015 were identified as unarmed, though the actual number is likely higher due to underreporting

37% of unarmed people killed by police were black in 2015 despite black people being only 13% of the U.S. population

Unarmed black people were killed at 5x the rate of unarmed whites in 2015

Only 9 of the 102 cases resulted in officer(s) being charged with a crime

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.)

Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?

Expediency asks the question - is it politic?

Vanity asks the question - is it popular?

But conscience asks the question - is it right?

And there comes a time when one must take a position

that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular;

but one must take it because it is right.

(Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.)

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH CHRISTMAS

DENOMINATIONAL BIGOTRY AND IDOLATRY

GOD IS LOVE & HIS LOVE IS ETERNAL! / Special Valentine Day Edition 2015

As night falls and this Sabbath Day ends, there are many who have succumbed to depression, sadness, loneliness and the feeling of being unloved and unwanted just because they didn’t receive a “Valentine” gift or because they are without a significant other on this unique day of contradiction between God’s Seventh Day Sabbath and man’s pagan festival.

To those who are so negatively impacted by this Valentine’s Day tradition, I challenge you to remember that God has not done this to you nor would He. His ordained Day is a delight and a joy and a time for refreshing. He has not burdened us with buying anything or giving anything or expecting anything from anyone on His Sabbath Day. He has not stressed us or made us anxious about being loved. He already has demonstrated His LOVE toward us beyond human imagining and He continues to do so on a daily basis and not just one time a year.

True Divine Love cannot be commercialized or packaged and it certainly isn’t limited to a festival.

His Love is always there with us.

GOD LOVES US BEYOND MEASURE.

GOD LOVES US TO LIFE – ETERNAL LIFE.

SO LIFT UP YOUR HEADS AND YOUR HEARTS AND RECOGNIZE THAT NO MAN-MADE LOVE FESTIVAL CAN COMPARE TO THE LOVE OF GOD FOR US.

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE - HOW BELIEVERS SHOULD RESPOND TO THE NEWS OF CHRIST BIRTH

Luke 2:8-14 (ESV)
And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.  And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.  And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 

 “Glory to God in the highest,and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

We should not treat Christ as if He is something common to man.

HE IS GOD!

This may be a radical Truth in this sick and wicked world. But it is the TRUTH!

Even the FATHER calls Him GOD and the angels in Heaven are commanded to worship Him. (Hebrews 1)

Let us not get it twisted!

This is not a holiday that you wish to celebrate with common worldly pleasures and self-indulgences. This is not a holiday that you wish to trivialize and make common with ornamentations and decorations, traditions and rituals, fairytales and false hopes.

This is not a common holiday.

This is a HOLY TIME that we desire to worship in daily!

This is a HOLY TIME of unusual praise and worship that we strive to be mindful of everyday.

It is always a HOLY TIME when we remember that God loved us so much that He came to be with us in the most intimate of ways and with the explicit understanding that He would be separated from His FATHER and His Heavenly Glory and suffer an horrific death so that we may know The Father through Him and know Him in a better way.

It is always a HOLY TIME when born again believers in Christ begin to worship Christ in Spirit and in TRUTH!

It is always A HOLY TIME whenever we receive a revelation and begin to express worshipful appreciation of the magnitude of what God did for us.

People lose their minds whenever a rock star or celebrity comes to town. Folks do some crazy and excessive things when their favorite musician, singer or politician visits them. People make some unusual arrangements and preparations when some big shot comes to town. All of these folks were born inherently wicked. Only our God is Holy!

There Is No one Bigger Than Our GOD.

AND THE GOD NEWS IS THAT OUR GOD IS WITH US!

“Glory to God in Heaven, and upon earth peace, Good News to the children of men.” (Luke 2:14)
