Tribute to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Tribute to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Yesterday, I was able to worship the Almighty God with people who were white. I was able to stand within arm’s reach of people who are white and sing songs of worship and praise to the same God and not be hidden in a balcony or not allowed in the same building. We shook hands, hugged and exchanged greetings with love and acceptance; without any fear of reprisal.
Thank you Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for your stand, your life, conviction and sacrifice.
I am able to hold a minister’s credential with a predominately white organization, be an administrative pastor at a church whose membership is predominately white and give sermons to mixed audiences that have people who are white in them.
Thank you Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for your stand, your life, conviction and sacrifice.
Yesterday, I sat at a table and ate with people who were White, Black and Armenian. My car was not painted with racial statements. I did not fear walking from their home to my car.
Thank you Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for your stand, your life, conviction and sacrifice.
Years ago, I remember standing in a Blue Chip Stamp Redemption Center in Compton, California. With the news of your assassination over the loudspeakers, you could have heard a pin drop. We were all gripped with horror, sorrow and tears in that public place.
Thank you Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for your stand, your life, conviction and sacrifice.
Today, I will take 2 young black boys to a public movie theatre. We will walk in the front door and use the public restrooms. We will be able to choose which seats we will sit in. We will see a movie with black actors as the star performers, directed by a black man, with one of the actors being paid millions of dollars for his acting and has received various entertainment awards.
Thank you Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for your stand, your life, conviction and sacrifice.
Today, my next door neighbors to my left, to my right and behind me are people who happen to be white. I have never had a cross-burnt on my front lawn.
Thank you Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for your stand, your life, conviction and sacrifice.
Today, I enjoy many benefits that my forefathers were unable to even contemplate enjoying. I will vote in the local and national elections. I will walk in the front door of business and government establishments. I will look people who are white in the eye and not fear reprisals.
Thank you Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for your stand, your life, conviction and sacrifice.
You did not enjoy your 20-year Wedding Anniversary…nor your children’s graduations…nor your children’s weddings…nor the fulfillment of “your dream”…you did not enjoy many of the things we today, take for granted.
But thank you Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for your stand, your life, conviction and sacrifice.
God uses His men and women as it pleases Him. Because of your obedience to God’s direction in your life, my life has been greatly enhanced. I can never repay you for the sacrifice of your life, your family’s need for a dad and husband or for the many injustices and inconveniences you endured, so that I may be able to partake of the American constitution’s provisions.
Thank you Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for your stand, your life, conviction and sacrifice.
Thank you Corretta, Yolanda, Martin III, Dexter and Bernice for your many sacrifices.

Advent – Week 4
Advent – Week 4: Love
The fourth Week of Advent is the week of Love. This verse tells us that Jesus came because God loves us so much that he doesn’t want any of us to miss out on spending eternity (forever) with him. All we have to do is believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to save us from sin. God’s love for us is one of the main themes the Apostle John wrote about in the Bible. He tells us in another verse that the greatest love anyone can have is to give their life for others (John 15:13). He also tells us we are to love one another because love comes from God (I John 4:7).
It is this love for one another that prompts us to give gifts at Christmas – and yet we know that the best gift is one’s self. Give kind words, smiles, gentleness and forgiveness this Christmas. Remember to light the candle of love in your heart so that you, too, can say yes to God.

Advent – Week 3
Advent – Week 3: Joy
Happiness is an emotion that can disappear as quickly as it rises to the surface. Joy, however, is a choice.
We have a choice. God gives us a joy that is unconquerable. We can choose to live in an attitude of resentment, anger and fear or we can choose to pursue the joy of Christ.
One of the reasons Pope Francis is so admired around the world is because of his constant joy. By his words and his example, he tells us the Church should be a place of joy. It follows that we, as members of the Church, should also be people of joy. The angels who hover over the manger came to bring joy. As Luke writes, “Do not be afraid: for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy.” Are our lives too noisy to hear the joyful song of the angels? Are we too busy to look up and see them singing in the night?
Even if we are not yet feeling all the joy of Christmas, we can still give the gift of joy to others. The beauty of the angels was not so much in that they were joyful themselves, but that they brought joyful tidings to the world. For a Christian, this should be a time to bring as much joy as possible to as many people as possible.

Advent – Week 2
Advent – Week 2: Peace
During this week of Advent, we focus on receiving the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Today you will light both the “hope” candle and the “peace” candle.
What is peace?
From the very beginning of time, peace was understood to be not simply the absence of that which is bad, but also the presence of that which is good.
In the Bible, the Hebrew word used for peace is “shalom”. Shalom means wholeness, complete flourishing of a person’s life. Biblically, shalom is often used to reference a person’s life being whole with God. Perhaps the best way to think of peace is to think back to those first days on earth, before sin. Think back to what God said after He created the heavens and the earth and all that is within it. “And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (Genesis 1:31).” God created everything to operate in perfect harmony with one another and with God. This is shalom; this is peace.
Advent – Week 1
Advent – Week One: Hope
In this first week of Advent, we reflect on the tension of the already-but-not-yet; of being sure of the hope that we have, but of having but a small taste of that which has been promised.
The nation of Israel, God’s chosen people, had heard from God through the patriarchs and prophets since its very beginning. He had taught them how to live life in the very best way, life lived close to Him and to others. But the people of Israel had rejected God and did whatever was good in their own eyes.
God sent prophets to warn Israel of what would happen if they continued to rebel against God. Prophets also foretold of a new covenant God would make with his people. They pointed people to a coming Messiah, an eternal king who would fulfill this covenant, save them, and rule forever.
Despite the warnings of the prophets, the people of Israel stopped listing to God and God did not speak to humans again for 400 years. And it is against this backdrop that we begin our first week of Advent, wondering with the Israelites what God is going to do and how he is going to fulfill his promises.
In a similar way, though Jesus has already brought about our salvation by his life, death and resurrection, we eagerly await with great hope the day when he will come again and fulfill all of his promises and put the world to rights.
