Black Ministers Watching their Words on Obama
The
Rev. Jeffrey Bryan has posted campaign signs for "Obama in '08" and
displayed snapshots of the presumed Democratic presidential nominee
visiting his Newark, N.J., church. At times he wears a T-shirt
emblazoned with Barack Obama's face. That's as far as Bryan will go -
there will be no sermons peppered with "Vote Obama!" "It's a historical
time for black people. We cannot ignore what's going on," Bryan said.
Yet, he added, "you can't tell people who to vote for."

Religious Right Figure Gets
Chills: Obama Could Win 40 Percent of Evangelicals
"With clients like Focus on
the Family,
Franklin Graham, and Campus Crusade for Christ, Mark DeMoss may be the
most prominent public relations executive in the evangelical world. A
former chief of staff to Jerry Falwell, DeMoss became then-presidential
candidate Mitt Romney's chief liaison to evangelical leaders." In a new
interview with Dan Gilgoff for BeliefNet's God-o-Meter, DeMoss explains
the lack of religious enthusiasm for McCain and predicts a potential
major shift to Obama.

Texas Town still Shadowed
by Dragging Death
Ten years after James Byrd
Jr. was
dragged to death down a three-mile stretch of country road simply
because he was black, some things have changed in Jasper. Black and
white teenagers can be seen playing basketball together at James Byrd
Jr. Memorial Park. Blacks now make up a majority on the City Council.
And an iron fence no longer separates the graves of whites and blacks
in the 171-year-old cemetery where Byrd is buried.

Birth Control for 5th Graders is
Out of Control by Keitris Weathersbe
Among
the many fears parents have is the one that their too-young child is
having sex. And that he or she is not using protection to avoid STDs,
HIV and pregnancy. I won't even get into the emotional dangers. Most
people agree that public schools should have some role in helping to
allay those fears. The Bush administration has dedicated over $170
million to making sure that help comes in the form of abstinence-only
programs.

NEW! Second Coming
Watch: 'Unavoidable'
Attack on Iran Looms, says Israeli Minister
The
Guardian.co.uk reports: “An Israeli minister has said an
attack on
Iran's nuclear sites will be ‘unavoidable’ if
Tehran refuses to halt
its alleged weapons program. In the most explicit threat yet by a
member of Ehud Olmert's government, Shaul Mofaz, a deputy prime
minister, said the hardline Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
‘would disappear before Israel does’.

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.

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.
