Obama Leads McCain, But Race Is
Looking Tighter Than What It Should Be
Barack
Obama begins his presidential race against John McCain with a lead in
the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, but not so great an edge
as might be expected, given the gale-force political headwinds against
Sen. McCain's Republican Party. Sen. Obama leads Sen. McCain by 47% to
41%, a spread that is twice the edge he had in the previous poll, in
late April.

Not all Democrats falling for Obama
Nothing
personal, Sen. Obama, but our re-election comes first. Barack Obama,
for all his attention and primary successes, does not go over so well
in a fair number of Democratic lawmakers' home districts. So it seems
there is little chance that some will endorse him for president. Some
are counting on Republican votes in their re-election bids. Some are
newly minted and in rematches with 2006 opponents.

Southern Baptists Reject Sex
Abuse Database
Under
pressure to fight child sex abuse, the Southern Baptist Convention's
executive committee said Tuesday that the denomination should not
create its own database to help churches identity predators or
establish an office to field abuse claims. The report decried sexual
abuse as reprehensible and a sin. But the Southern Baptist principle of
local church autonomy means it's up to individual churches —
and not
the convention — to screen employees and take action against
offenders,
the committee said.

The Similarities and Differences
between Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain
Michelle Obama and Cindy
McCain share a
dislike of rough-edged U.S. politics. Each tried to talk her spouse out
of running for the White House. Obama, wife of Democratic candidate
Barack Obama, and McCain, who is married to Republican John McCain, are
both known for an elegant sense of style, lending glamour to their
husbands' campaigns.

McCain
Meets with Greek Orthodox Leader
Presumptive
Republican presidential nominee John McCain had his own share of
faith-based courting on Tuesday when he met with the
country’s highest
ranking Greek Orthodox leader. On the same day Democratic rival Barack
Obama met with about 30 Christian leaders, McCain held a private
meeting with Archbishop Demetrios of the Greek Orthodox Church in
America at the archdiocese’s headquarters in New York
City.

Prominent
Christian Names Four Modern Horsemen of the Apocalypse
Many
people say evangelicals are stuck on one issue – whether
it’s abortion
or same-sex “marriage” – when speaking
out to defend moral values. But
to those defending, it’s not just a single issue.
“Marriage is a single
issue?” Dr. Richard Land, president of The Ethics &
Religious
Liberty Commission, posed to thousands of Southern Baptists Tuesday.
“It’s the building block of society.”

Bullishly or not, Clinton
supporters accept Obama
They
may not be falling in love, but they're falling in line. Prominent
supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton are embracing Barack Obama,
literally and figuratively, even though some remain bitter about her
loss in a presidential primary process that they feel treated her
unfairly. In several key states this week, Obama is being joined on
stages by top Democrats who, a few weeks ago, were working to deny him
the nomination.

Juneteenth Observance Reminds Us
that Some Americans' Rights are Still not Recognized Says Dr. Alveda
King

States, but the oppression of some Americans' rights continues, Dr.
Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life, said today. "We
gladly and rightfully celebrate June 19th as the day African American
enslavement officially ended in all parts of the United States," said
Dr. King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

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.
