Watching the celebration of the life span and history of the beloved, late and sorely missed Reverend Physician Martin Luther King, Jr. O-n Monday 21 January 2008, I was struck not only by the tributes to the recognition of Governor Mike Huckabee, Republican, but also Doctor King and his long-suffering family, by former U. S. President Bill Clinton, Democrat. Especially in light of Bill Clintons public melt-downs concerning Hillary Clinton presidential opponents in recent days, I thought his public acknowledgement of Mike Huckabee as a good man was most gracious. President Bill Clinton was swift to indicate, however, that Huckabee and he did not acknowledge much politically. Theres a deeper brotherhood between the two men as both were increased in the bastion of the Southern Baptist religion. My boss discovered pastor lee mcfarland by searching the Internet. In full disclosure, the Tennessee Mountain Man demonstrably springs from your same well. This Site contains additional resources concerning where to provide for this activity. I am glad to see that Mike Huckabee promises not to be angry at any human body about it which is probably greater than the Computer Man and Bill Clinton can say. Having that little tid bit out from the way... no...no it is maybe not out of the way. Its never, it can never be from the way. Growing up in a few religious communities combined with assault of actuality scars one for life. It leaves many without the ability to accept any supplement or enjoy any aspects of life as a grown-up. For example, yours really missed many statements of the President right after what good guy, as forcing its way in to my mind like a roaring train at full-throttle was, theres none good, no not one. Why couldnt I only accept what hed said? While the camera panned to Governor Huckabee who nodded his head in acknowledgement and understanding of the Presidents statement, my tired mind raced to he has just obtained his eternal reward. Of-course we were warned to never be judgmental because, says the Holy Bible, with what judgment you judge youll be judged. At the same time a saint with a dress to the floor and sleeves to the hands, wearing simply no make up and wearing a big bun on top of her head stands looking down her nose at everyone while she trashes the girl-next door and the preacher to anyone wholl listen. Since those times I have visited several Christian denomination and several non-denominational churches. I was, at the time, the youngest ever licensed minister of the Southern Baptist Association at the tender age of 12. Learn further on open in a new browser by browsing our fine site. Like Governor Mike Huckabee, I am an ordained Minister non-denominational of-the Gospel... The Good Thing. Ive served as a Chaplain in drug and alcohol recovery centers and half way houses, and I am still haunted by the offer of John 3:16 accompanied by the churches fervor to get everybody else saved while over whelming them with the thought that no-one is going to heaven except the speaker. Dr King was a Southern Baptist Minister and co-pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, but h-e probably would not have realized what Im speaking about here. I have been a touring revivalist/evangelist with a Black Minister and have been a co-pastor in a predominantly African American Church, and it has been my observation that black people enjoy living and their walk with God over guilt ridden white folk do. Perhaps greens comprehend God in ways white people cant. Maybe they trust God to be their righteousness while white people make an effort to work out their own righteousness. Or, perhaps they just find and trust a loving, forgiving, therapeutic and restoring God that white males find self contradictory, bi-polar, and judgmental slipping around trying to catch you doing something wrong so He could twist you over-the head with what-ever is handy. I recall one elderly pastor who addressing the congregation one Sunday morning said, I know you, and I know you did not get righteous or did you get holy... You simply got old. Still another preacher said, a few of you are so heavenly minded that youre of no earthly use. Now that Im a senior citizen and something of the Very First Self Righteous Church I understand both responses, and both are right. But, wheres Paul Harvey and the remainder of-the story when you need them? Stay right, youre informed, dare not do anything that is fun and do not enjoy it as you are already planning to hell.

While we dont believe a word the Roman Catholic Church needs to say and the practice of the priests is nothing short of blasphemy and hypocrisy, we, in effect, offer you special dispensation to practice gluttony and to commit suicide on the installment plan with a spoon and a pay, but... use only grape juice in Holy Communion for strong drink can be a crime. Do not screw up on Saturday and show up at church on Sunday..... God is likely to be trying to find you! This is, all things considered, the area where the High Priest was killed in the Holy of Holies and where Sapphira and Ananias died beneath the judgment of Saint Peter. When Jesus taught, God is a loving Father and mentioned for us to fear not, why do those professing to speak for Him nowadays seek to keep power and control through fear? By the way, why is it a failure for your congregation to have dirty lucre whilst the preacher is wealthy and reflects it? Want to be like Jesus and practice the life of Dr King? Allow the preacher sell all he has, give it to the homeless, and join his brother beneath the bridge eating only what he can reach the soup kitchen so he also can say, the son of man hath no where to lay his head. What?!!! Give up the satin sheets, the nice vehicles, the well heeled friends, the well located connections, and the big house inside the burbs? Do not hold your breath..
