No, Mr. President II

"The average citizen in a democracy is like a deaf spectator sitting in the back row of a sporting event: He does not know what is happening, why it is happening, what ought to happen; he lives in a world that he cannot see, does not understand, and is unable to direct." - Walter Lippmann, pundit/public philosopher - 1924

Everyone knows by now, that I did not support this candidate during his historic campaign. I do not support him during his historic Presidency either. This is because my allegiance is first to the Cross of Christ, before my ethnicity, before my political identification, and all the rest of the myriad demographic identifiers we manufacture as a society.
One of the problems that Pres. Obama faces now is trying to make good on the various and sundry, and sometimes opposing campaign promises that he made is that he made promises to the gay community and now the bill is come due.

While we're on the subject of homosexuality...

In light of the whole 'Gay penguin debacle', I present to you:
Charlene Cothran's Testimony:

Wait, you don't know what I'm talking about do you, dear reader? Well here it is, Two of the pairs of so-called 'gay' penguins, have apparently broken up after 6 years 'together' once a female became available. This happened in New York, and in San Francisco So those who would point to this 'naturally occurring homosexuality' in the wild, have been remarkably silent about this.
Does this mean that (since the gay apologists point to this penguin behavior to somehow legitimize theirs) that you can 'switch'?

Examining the tithe

Blessings to you dear reader. Thank you for taking the time to read the following. It is my prayer that it will edify, and bring clarity, and provoke thought and a closer walk with our Savior. Please note that wherever scripture is quoted, it is taken from the American Standard Version (ASV) In His service, Pastor.ctj One of the most heavily debated doctrines of the modern church is the doctrine of the tithe. Many Christians generally accept that the law of tithing, as other Jewish laws, was abolished upon Jesus' crucifixion, when he fulfilled the Old Testament law. For the most part, Christians do not follow Jewish community laws such as the extensive dietary restrictions in the Old Testament, for example, and tithing was part of that group of laws. Others believe that because Jesus spoke about tithing, he was instructing his followers to continue the practice, and for many, not only is the tithe still an active doctrine, it is proof of one’s commitment to God.

Thabiti or T.D. what do 'we' folk prefer?

Blessings all Recently, on my Facebook page, I posted a piece by Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile which concerned the appearance of TD Jakes in ‘ The Elephant Room ’ conversations. ( Read the piece here )  I must also admit to a certain amount of disappointment that to date, only ONE of my many black Christian FB friends have commented on it. Why is that, fam?  It is my prayer that when I post a thing, dialog will ensue, and the Biblical prescription for successful exchange between brethren will take place, ie: God is glorified, and the brethren are edified . It is never my intention to cause division among brethren. I want to be clear on that. One of the biggest problems, as I see this is that for many ‘Black Christians’ TD Jakes is a model to be emulated  ( Let me be clear that I   HATE the idea that the body of Christ which Jesus declares is ONE, should be divided/categorized along ethnic lines, so I do not like the idea of a ‘black church’, or ‘chinese church’ or white church’)
