THE FIGHT FOR MY LIFE

Pastor Payne, Conant Gardens, MI

Once the doctors reset her heart, Pastor Tricia Wynn Payne and her husband Shawn had no idea their battle to save her life was only beginning. What was supposed to be a simple outpatient procedure created medical issues that snowballed out of control and placed Tricia in a series of complicated life or death situations. She went from independent,

WE CAN’T BREATHE

Pastor Vic. Minneapolis, MN.

As a pastor, I’ve been charged to shepherd God’s people. As a preacher, I’ve been charged to call sin by its right name. As a believer, I’ve been charged to share Jesus Christ with my life and my lips. Yet there are times when it seems that one or all of the above is an impossible ask. As a black man, I am prejudged as a leader of trouble. As a black husband, I am prejudged as unfaithful to my wife. As a black father, I am prejudged as an unfit role model.

THE MILESTONE & THE MOMENT

The last week of May 2020 will go down in American history as one of infamy.  The week will not be remembered for a positive discovery or development that benefitted humankind, but for a milestone in the war against the coronavirus (COVID-19) and an incident in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that together starkly show the tenuous state of race in the United States at the time.

WE WEAR THE MASK

«We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes, This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, . . . Why should the world be other-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while we wear the mask.»

LOOKING OUT FOR THE LEAST

Image: «I was Hungry,» by Nathan Greene 
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me” (Matt. 25:45, NIV). Are you aware that April is National Child Abuse Prevention month? Isn’t it ironic that April 2020 finds millions of American children sheltering in place at home as a precaution against contracting or spreading the coronavirus (COVID-10)? In some states, public and private schools will remain closed for the remainder of the school year. E-education will be the modality of teaching and learning during the pandemic.

THE SEVEN LAST WORDS OF CHRIST

The seven last words of Christ from the cross are some of the most profound, prophetic, and powerful utterances found in the Holy Writ. These words, or sayings, are packed with meaning transcendent of the time in which they were uttered, and great referential points of hope that inspire us to forge forward today. no wonder the Apostle Peter in 1 Peter 1:12 states that the sufferings of Jesus Christ is something that even angels desire to look into, so how much more those whom He died to save.
 
It is our desire that every man, woman, boy and girl would «… spend a thoughtful hour each day in contemplation of the life of Christ. We should take it point by point, and let the imagination grasp each scene, especially the closing ones. As we thus dwell upon His great sacrifice for us, our confidence in Him will be more constant, our love will be quickened, and we shall be more deeply imbued with His spirit. If we would be saved at last, we must learn the lesson of penitence and humiliation at the foot of the cross,» The Desire of Ages, pg. 83.
 
That is the purpose of this online evangelistic movement. It is meant to garner hope from a seemingly sorrowful situation that lent itself to death’s demise and our ascent. It was from the cross that Christ encapsulates the life of one filled, yet emptied himself for you and I. It is this Gospel that will enlighten and fill us with hope for the present and future. Join our host, Pastor Eric J. Bell of the Benton Harbor Highland Ave SDA Church on April 5 -11 nightly at 7:30PM for a deeper look into the life of Christ and individual challenges that will ‘quicken us’ us to be more like Him.

SOCIALLY DISTANT YET SPIRITUALLY CONNECTED

Listening to one of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s press briefings on the coronavirus (COVID-19) contagion the other day, I was struck by something he said. The governor of New York encouraged New Yorkers to remain spiritually connected even as they complied with his Executive Order to practice social distancing.

Social distancing is understood to mean staying at least 6 feet apart from others, especially those you do not know. The admonition of government and medical authorities is that we stay away from each other for our own good.  “Stay at home” is the order of the day. To be socially isolated during these unprecedented times may be the difference between life and death.
