The Savior's Survey
Ministry can be draining. For that matter, life can be draining – very draining. Sometimes, you need to be by yourself to recharge. Sometimes, you need to be with a small group to recharge. We all need quiet time with the Lord.
The Black Church - A Mystery Within A Mystery
The church is a mystery, and the Black church is a mystery within a mystery. It has been called the oasis in a desert of hatred, injustice, and racism. It has been called the backbone of our culture.
Stability In An Unstable World
We live in an unstable world. Just about everything is in a state of flux. Just about every aspect of our lives seems like a roller coaster ride, but life is not an amusement park.
The Call Of The Cross
All through our Lord’s ministry, he heard the call of the cross. However, as Jesus neared the sunset of His earthly ministry, He seemed to hear more loudly and clearly the call of the cross and His mission to provide the way to eternal life. As we shall soon commemorate Holy Communion, we too should hear again the call of the cross.
Rivers That Tell Our Stories
Our ancestors were on to something deeper than they realized. The course of human history is like a river, sometimes placid, sometimes widely turgid, with many twists and turns. Sometimes we see nobleness, compassion, and integrity, and then we see unrelenting meanness, senseless wars, sexism, and genocidal racism.
Ebed-Melech: The Brother Who Rescued Jeremiah
These were terrible days In Jerusalem. Unrest and fear had placed a terrifying hand upon the people. There was corruption and sin in high places. To make matters worse, a Babylonian invasion seemed imminent. Jeremiah preached against the sin, and his prophecies about the invasion were not what they wanted to hear.
How Will I Know? (A Valentine’s Day Sermon)
Love is a constant topic of discussion. We write about it; talk about it in face-to-face conversations and on social media; we preach about it, as I am doing now; and of course, we sing about it in church and with our secular songs. Some of the great theologians have written tones about God’s love and how believers should reflect His love. Since love is so important, because everyone wants to be loved, why is true love so hard to find and to keep for so many people?
I Ain't Going Nowhere!
We must remember that Jesus had just fed several thousand people with two minnows and five barley muffins – a two-piece fish dinner. They were so impressed by what He had done and could do for them that they wanted to make Him king. When they learned that Jesus was not going to set up a political kingdom, that He was not going to continue to give them free food, and that He expected full commitment on their part, they stopped following him.
The Dream: Unfinished Business
Each year as we observe MLK day, we commemorate it with mixed emotions and conflicting thoughts. Today, more than ever, we are in a quandary as to the meaning and even the effectiveness of the civil rights movement.
Maximize Your Youth
Every age group has advantages that other age groups do not have. Most aged matriarchs and patriarchs have the advantage of wisdom from their life-long experiences. This wisdom must be shared with the younger generations. Young people have the advantage of boundless energy. This energy must be channeled in the right direction.
Not Only For One Day, But For The Entire Year
I remember a former co-worker, in humor, telling me that he had not found a way to make the “happy” in the phrase, “Happy New Year,” last longer than the first day of the year. For him, after New Year’s Day, everything went back to the familiar failures, old attitudes, bad habits, and unhappy work routines.
