History with a Heavy Heart by
Lawrence Smith
I
watched history being made Tuesday night. I watched on television as
Sen. Barack Obama became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic
Party for the presidency of the United States. I watched with mixed
emotions. In one sense, my heart swelled with pride as an attractive,
articulate African-American man reached the pinnacle of American
politics -- becoming the first person of color to lead a major party
ticket into a presidential election.

Obama nomination gives 'goose
bumps' by T.D. Jakes
Last night, I like most
Americans of all
stripes, watched with visible goose bumps as history was made. I sat
with my 13-year-old son and looked from the screen to his eyes as Sen.
Barack Obama became the first African American in history to lead a
U.S. major-party ticket when he claimed the nomination for the
Democratic Party for president of the United States.

Young
Voters see Obama's Race as an Asset, non-issue
For young voters, Rosa Parks' refusal to sit at the back of a bus in
Montgomery, Ala., in 1955 is schoolbook history. Even the racially
charged 1992 riots in Los Angeles are a distant memory. The United
States is far from a blueprint for racial harmony, but for today's
young adults - all born after segregation was outlawed in the mid-1960s
- race is not the issue it once was.

Evander
Holyfield's Mansion Under Foreclosure, Child Support Payments Late
Maybe
now we know why former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield wants to
keep fighting at age 45. The "Real Deal" appears real broke. His $10
million estate in suburban Atlanta is under foreclosure, the mother of
one of his children is suing for unpaid child support, and a Utah
consulting company has gone to court claiming the boxer failed to pay
back more than a half million dollars for landscaping.

Foreclosures Hit a Record
High--and More Coming
The
foreclosure hammer is hitting ever harder. People lost their homes at
the highest rate on record in the first three months of the year, and
late payments soared to a new high, too - an alarming sign that the
housing crisis and its damage to the national economy may only get
worse. Dumping more empty homes on an already glutted market also is
likely to put a further drag on home prices - extending a vicious cycle.

NEW! Second Coming Watch: Israel's
Ehud Olmert: 'All Possible Means' must be used to stop Nuclear Iran
The
London Daily Telegraph reports: “Ehud Olmert, the prime
minister
of Israel, has sought to increase pressure on Iran by saying
‘all
possible means’ must be used to stop the Islamic republic
from
acquiring nuclear weapons. The speech shortens the odds significantly
on military action against Iran’s nuclear program. Israel has
twice acted by itself to stop its regional enemies developing a nuclear
capability, in Syria last year and Iraq in the 1980s.

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.

Pastor
of the Week:
Pastor Tommy Steele, Pastor of New Life Independent Baptist Church,
Concord, North Carolina
On
October 9, 1978 God led a man by the name of Danny Willis to witness to
a fellow employee that man was Tommy Steele. Following his
salvation, Brother Steele started attending a Bible-believing church
and went to work in the bus ministry. He soon heard God's
call to
ministry and started New Life Independent Baptist Church.
From
its humble beginnings, in a storefront building, God has used this
ministry to see countless souls birthed into the Kingdom of
God.
Pastor Steele's belief that every one he meets is a soul for whom
Christ died has motivated him to center this ministry on reaching
others for Christ. Dr. Tommy Steele is the recipient of many
honors including a Doctorate of Theology and Humanities, but in his
mind those pale in comparison to the honor or ministering to the needs
of others. Dr. Steele has worked selflessly giving himself to the
ministry and God has blessed him richly. Over the years he
has
had the opportunity to preach to thousands of people across this
country and abroad. He shares his joy of ministry with his
family
who as well has a heart for ministry. E-mail
address: pastor.steele@nlibchurch.org.
Website: www.nlibchurch.org.

you want to submit information about your pastor to be reviewed for

Inspirations
The
Word of God
for this Week
"And we
know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to
them who are the called according to his purpose."
--Romans 8:28
The
Encouraging Word for this Week
"The
Church in
the West today presents too easy a target for Satan. We do not believe
we are at war. We do not know where the battleground is located, and,
in spite of our weapons, they are neither loaded nor aimed at the right
target. We are unaware of how vulnerable we are. We are better fitted
for a parade than for an amphibious landing." --Ed Silvoso
The
Prayer Motivator for this Week
MOTIVATING
VERSE: "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all
saints." --Ephesians 6:18
PRAYER QUOTE: "Prayer is the language of a man burdened with a sense of
need."
--E.M. Bounds
The
Soul-Winning Motivator for this Week
"And
he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." --Matthew
4:19
SOUL-WINNING
QUOTE: "Let's quit fiddling with religion and do something to bring the
world to Christ."
--Billy Sunday
Black
Christian History
Moses Ladejo Stone: February
22, 1880 -- Moses Ladejo Stone was ordained into the ministry in the
First Baptist Church, Lagos (originally known as American Baptist
Church) by William W. Colley. Colley, an African American, is thought
to be the person to have served as an appointed missionary of both a
white-administered missionary-sending agency and a black-administered
missionary-sending agency. Colley began his missionary career in 1875.
That year, he was appointed by the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission
Board to serve in West Africa as assistant to W. J. David, a white
missionary from Mississippi. In November of 1879, Colley returned to
the United States convinced that many more blacks should be involved in
international missions, especially in Africa. As he traveled back and
forth across the country, Colley urged black Baptists to take an
independent course in mission work and form their own sending agency.
Colley was the primary force in the founding of the Baptist Foreign
Mission Convention (BFMC) in 1880.
