Obama Asked: What Does Life Mean
to You?
At
a town hall meeting in Kaukauna, Wisc., Thursday afternoon, amidst
questions about health care and the economy, a young man said he had a
question for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, and Obama should "please be
as intellectual or spiritual as you would like." "Well this is a lot of
pressure," Obama said to laugher. "My question is: what does life mean
to you?" the young man asked. "Oh goodness," Obama said, a bit taken
aback. "What does life mean to me?" He stammered a bit as he
contemplated the enormity of the query.

New Obama Site Confronts Rumors
Democrat
Barack Obama's campaign said Thursday that Michelle Obama never used
the word "whitey" in a speech. The campaign has created a new Web site
to debunk rumors about the Obamas, www.fightthesmears.com.
The rumor that Michelle Obama used the word "whitey" in a diatribe at
Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and that a videotape
exists, has circulated on conservative Republican blogs for weeks and
was repeated by radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

Southern Baptists Remain Wary of
McCain
Four
years ago, the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign hosted a reception for
Southern Baptist pastors at a hotel across the street from their annual
meeting. The country is electing a president again, the Baptists are
meeting again and John McCain's campaign is nowhere to be seen at a
gathering of 7,200 people, most of them staunch Republicans.

Theological Education Fund
Encourages Seminarians to take a Pulpit
They come from a host of
Christian
denominations, but one thing unites them: they are part of a shrinking
number of theology students nationally who are interested in taking
over a pulpit rather than doing something else with their degrees.
About 100 seminarians from over two dozen denominations, from Baptists
and Roman Catholics to Unitarian Universalists, are attending a
weeklong conference aimed at reversing a trend of young people shying
away from the gaps in churches nationwide left by retiring Baby Boomer
ministers.

California
Bishop Drives Homosexual Marriage Momentum to Church
In
a push to strengthen support for gay and lesbian persons, the bishop of
the Episcopal Diocese of California has initiated a process to move
toward equality of marriage rites for same-sex couples. The Rt. Rev.
Marc Handley Andrus released a pastoral letter on Monday urging clergy
to encourage all couples, including homosexual ones, to first be
married in a secular service and then seek the blessing of The
Episcopal Church as the California diocese works for the "full
inclusion" of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) people.

R.
Kelly's Fate Now in Jury's Hands
Prosecutors
finished their arguments in R&B star R. Kelly's child
pornography
case Thursday the same way they began a month ago, by playing for
jurors the entire graphic sex tape at the center of the trial. The
27-minute film played on a monitor just outside the jury's box -- the
lights switched off and the blinds pulled across courtroom windows --
as Assistant State's Attorney Robert Heilengoetter read through
sections of the 14-count indictment that accuses Kelly of videotaping
himself having sex with an underage girl.

mothers.)
A
study led by the University of South Florida sheds new light on
obesity’s role in the black-white gap in infant mortality,
reports sciencedaily.com. While maternal obesity appears to
have
no impact on the early survival of infants born to white women, the
situation is different for black women, researchers report in the June

The Girl God Wants: Sister to
Sister Talk about Loving God, Living a Great Life, and Enjoying It,
by Daniella Whyte
Society
throws a lot of
ungodly stuff at young ladies today and it is hard to find things that
can empower them to godliness and greatness. In The Girl God
Wants,
author, Daniella Whyte, (age 14 when she commenced the writing of this
book), helps young ladies with some of the issues that they face today.
Oftentimes, it is easier for teenagers to relate to each other and they
are sometimes more eager to listen to the advice of their peers. With
appealing chapters and her sister-to-sister style, Daniella shows young
ladies how much God loves them and how to discover their gifts and
purpose in life.

On "Being Saved"
in Black America
While growing up in a very
religious and church-going family, I often heard the phrase "Being
Saved." Now to me and my peers, "Being Saved" was a rather spooky and
mystical thing, and only the real holy folk could be such —
whatever it was.

Inspirations
The
Word of God
for this Week
"Therefore,
my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in
the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in
vain in the Lord."
--1 Corinthians 15:58
The
Encouraging Word for this Week
"If
you have a
doubtful issue in your life, something with a question mark after it,
put it to this fourfold test – The Test of Expediency (I
Corinthians 6:12): It may even be good, but is it good for me to do?
The Test of Enslavement (I Corinthians 6:12 again): Does it make me its
slave? The Test of Edification (I Corinthians 10:23): Does it build me
up? The Test of Example (I Corinthians 8)” Does it offend the
weaker brother? If your problem clears these four hurdles, it should no
longer be a problem." --Vance Havner
The
Prayer Motivator for this Week
MOTIVATING
VERSE: "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know
not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." --Romans
8:26
PRAYER QUOTE: "Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too
small to be made into a burden"
--Corrie ten Boom
The
Soul-Winning Motivator for this Week
"But
ye shall
receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall
be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in
Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." --Acts
1:8
SOUL-WINNING
QUOTE: “To try to win a soul for Christ by keeping that soul
in
ignorance of any truth, is contrary to the mind of the Spirit; and to
endeavour to save men by mere claptrap, or excitement, or oratorical
display, is as foolish as to hope to hold an angel with bird-lime, or
lure a star with music. The best attraction is the gospel in its
purity. The weapon with which the Lord conquers men is the truth as it
is in Jesus. The gospel will be found equal to every emergency; an
arrow which can pierce the hardest heart, a balm which will heal the
deadliest wound. Preach it, and preach nothing else.”
--C.H.
Spurgeon
Black
Christian History
Montrose Waite: February
16, 1922 -- About this date, Jamaican-born Montrose Waite received a
letter from the Christian and Missionary Alliance mission board saying
they wanted to send him as a missionary to Africa. Waite had won the
battle against prejudice and rejection and even friends who urged him
to the stay in the U.S., his adopted country. Waite would serve as a
missionary in Sierra Leone and Liberia and would be instrumental in the
founding of the Afro-American Missionary Crusade (1947) and the Carver
Foreign Missions organization.
