A

bond in an assault case by spending time over the weekend with his
sister, one of 11 witnesses listed by authorities. Kilpatrick and
Ayanna Kilpatrick were together at their mother's house Saturday, a day
after he was released from jail for violating bond in a separate
perjury case, said Doug Baker of the Michigan attorney general's office.

The
Family that Prays Together Stays Together and Thrives Together
The staff at Black
Christian News is
lovingly and respectfully encouraging each family to have a time of
sincere prayer and Bible reading with your family each morning
and include the following passage of Scripture with your other Bible
reading that you are already doing with your family. This passage of
Scripture covers the responsibilities of each member of the family -
husband, wife, and children - and it also shows you how to protect your
family from satanic attack and destruction. We believe that if you do
this each day for one month straight, you will see a positive change in
your family, and we must add, truthfully, more satanic attack, but God
will protect you from satan's fiery darts in a very special
way:
WIVES:
"Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the
husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the
church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is
subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every
thing." (Ephesians 5:22-24)
HUSBANDS:
"Husbands,
love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself
for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water
by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not
having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy
and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own
bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet
hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord
the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his
bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is
a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even
as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband" (Ephesians
5:25-33).
CHILDREN:
"Children,
obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and
mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be
well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth"
(Ephesians 6:1-3).
"Finally,
my
brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on
the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles
of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take
unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in
the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having
your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of
peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be
able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet
of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and
watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all
saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may
open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For
which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as
I ought to speak" (Ephesians 6:10-20).
Remember, the family that prays together stays together and
thrives together.
Dr.
Yvonne Capehart, in her newest book, The Spirit of Assassination,
Answers the Thought-Provoking Question: What's Going on in the Lives of
our Christian Leaders?
The Spirit of
Assassination,
by Dr. Yvonne Capehart, is an eye-opener as to why Christian leaders
are engaging in sinful activities, losing their testimony for Christ,
and falling by the wayside. Jesus Christ, before His death shared with
His disciples that the "prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing
in me" (John 14:30). Jesus, Who knows better than anyone, the
destruction that satan purposes to cause to Christians tells us in His
last discourse to His disciples: "I pray not that thou shouldest take
them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil"
(John 17:15). Dr. Capehart asks this question: "What's going on?"

Obama
vs. McCain on Russia vs. Georgia
For Russia and Georgia,
the conflict in
South Ossetia is now a long-simmering war. For Sen. Barack Obama,
D-Ill., and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., it is the first chance for the
presidential candidates to demonstrate their response to an
international crisis. McCain has called Russia's Vladimir Putin many
things, few of them good. He's called Putin "a totalitarian dictator"
and famously said he looked into his eyes and saw three letters "K, G
and B," a reference to Putin's former employer, the Soviet spy agency.
And when hostilities erupted along the Georgia-Russia border, McCain
was characteristically bold and quick to act.

the sale of advanced weapons to Georgia and the training of the
Georgian army's infantry forces. The Defense Ministry held a special

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.

Author of the
Week: General Jerry Curry
Jerry Curry has
had several
careers. The first began when he enlisted in the U.S. Army as a Private
during the Korean War. Serendipitously, this led to a 34-year military
career during which he worked his way up through the infantry ranks to
retire as a Major General. Next came a career in the private sector,
which included standing as a candidate for the U.S. Congress. This was
followed by three years as the administrator of the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Today, in addition to his
business consulting work, he pursues an operatic career. Jerry is a
decorated combat veteran, Army Aviator, Paratrooper, and Ranger, who
for nearly forty years has served his country both in the military and
as a Presidential political appointee. During the Viet Nam War, he was
a U.S. Advisor to a South Vietnamese infantry regiment and flew
helicopters and reconnaissance planes. Along the way he earned three
college degrees. Jerry and his wife, Charlene, both of whom are tennis
players, live high up on a mountain ridge in Northern Virginia. They
are active in the local Episcopal Church and have four children, seven
grandchildren and two great grandchildren. He is also the author of From Private
to General: An African-American Soldier Rises through the Ranks. E-mail

Music
Minister of the
Week: Marvin Sapp
Trademarked
by the simple yet memorable quote, “I am a preacher who
happens
to sing,” MARVIN SAPP undeniably brings together the heart of
a
preacher and the anointing of a psalmist on his latest project,
“DIARY OF A PSALMIST,” which released on July 1,
2003.
“There was a psalmist by the name of David who wrote and
played
melodies directed only to God,” explained Sapp. “So
I
choose the title of the album as a both chronicle for people to learn
how to worship and praise God based on my own personal experiences, as
well as I wanted people to see me in a different light … I
wanted people to understand who I am and who God called me to be, and I
think the music reflects a change in my life and in my music
ministry.” E-mail: joyamgmt@aol.com.

Black
Christian History
General Robert E. Lee
- One Sunday morning shortly after the close of the Civil War, a lone
black man entered a church in Richmond, Virginia, to worship God. It
was communion Sunday. The black men knelt at the altar to receive the
emblems of Christ's blood and broken body. Lingering vestiges of racial
hatred vanished when a distinguished layman walked erectly down the
aisle and knelt beside the black man. Who was that layman? General
Robert E. Lee. When we love God with all our hearts, we have unfeigned
love for all mankind--people of all climes,colors, and conditions:
"Keep yourselves in the love of God" (Jude 21).
