(Video) Obama Clinches Nomination; First
Black Candidate to Lead a Major Party Ticket; Hillary Clinton Refuses
to Concede
Senator
Barack Obama claimed the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday
evening, prevailing through an epic battle with Senator Hillary Rodham
Clinton in a primary campaign that inspired millions of voters from
every corner of America to demand change in Washington. A last-minute
rush of Democratic superdelegates, as well as the results from the
final primaries, in Montana and South Dakota, pushed Mr. Obama over the
threshold of winning the 2,118 delegates needed to be nominated at the
party’s convention in August.

Is Black America Strong Enough
For An Obama Presidency? by Eric Copage
African-Americans should be
careful of
what they wish for. They just might get it. In February of last year
when Sen. Barack Obama officially began his run to be the Democratic
nominee for president, the collective response by black Americans was
"Well, whoop-tee-do!" if poll reports are to be trusted. Political
pundits intoned that he might not be black enough for most
African-Americans.

Cheney
Apologizes for Cruel West Virginia Incest "Joke"
Vice President Cheney apologized for saying yesterday that he has
"Cheneys on both sides" of his family tree dating back to the 1600s,
"And we don't even live in West Virginia." The quip drew groans from
the audience at the National Press Club, prompting the vice president
to add, "You can say those things when you're not running for
reelection." (The White House transcript of Cheney's comments, released
last night, described laughter instead of groans.)

Obama Learned a Lesson
from Greek Mythology's Icarus
To understand how Barack Obama won the presidential primary, you have
to look at what he learned when he lost. Obama defeated Hillary Rodham
Clinton solidly in the Iowa caucuses in January, but five days later
she beat him, painfully and unexpectedly, in New Hampshire. That loss
showed him that toppling the royal family of Democratic politics would
not come easily. "I think this was meant to be," Obama said privately
the next day, recalls adviser David Axelrod.

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.

you want to submit information about your pastor to be reviewed for
possible inclusion in this section, please send that information

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.
