Greetings Fellow Clergy & Activist,
"To everything there is a
season, and a time for every purpose under the heaven". We are presently in a season
of urgency and a window of time is given to us to accomplish his purpose in
that season. I would like to urge you to take your social activism to another
level in this hour of a special season. Please don't misunderstand me I
know many of you have been models of diligence and perseverance and the civil
rights movement for life has prospered due to your commitment. You have given
much but this season that is upon us will prove to be critical and your
faithfulness will reap a greater harvest of life.
As you will read below, the movement
puts far too much emphasis on "main stream media" that has proven its
bias and ideological resentment to the Judea Christian ethic. If we start
attempting to rely on its presence we also made become diluted and perverse and
thus forget where our ultimate hope lies. There are acts of faith motivated by
the Holy Spirit that moves an angelic host to bring about deliverance and
justice for the oppressed. Its worth is not determined by a jaded main stream
media but a God who beholds the hearts of men and women and hears their
cries. It is God who has asked the question "Is there anything
too hard for me to do."
We have come into a season where God
is now asking not Fox, CNN or MSNBC to begin a conversation but for the church,
Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, or Pentecostal
to elevate the conversation that will lead to conviction.
In this season you will lend your
social media, E-mails, church advertisements, billboards, bulletin boards, cell
phones, Sunday School classes, youth meetings, book & bridge clubs or
whatever that is within your sphere of influence to in some cases start and
others rekindle a conversation that leads to conviction.
Obviously this is not of any human
interpretation nor can it be analyzed to determine its success by earthly
means. It is a move of the Holy Spirit and the means by which it is
facilitated will be the way it is sustained. If main stream props you up it can
take you down. The best way is "We the People" or as II Chronicles
7:14. "If My people which are called by my name." We must
elevate the conversation!
The drug culture has a language of
its own that was not created by main stream media, but resulted because they
had to communicate. Their conversations brought about an understanding and
communication that would affect millions. The word "joint" or
nickel bag or back in the day "munchies" was not propagated initially
by main stream media but the language was known from Los Angeles to New York
City. The Pro-Life Movement must do the same and in the African American
community especially this conversation must and will begin now. It is the
season!
Censorship or being
"ignored" is due to the person or person’s previous assessment of the
worth of the persons or thing. It is assessed relative to their own personal
interest or priority. The persons or thing being ignored is not significant
enough to acknowledge, by the person being implored. What we choose to ignore
or censor reveals the purity (or lack of) of our purpose. When it
is clearly the African American community being targeted deliberately and
systemically we must conclude that the obvious continuance of the policy would
be directly due to the perpetrators assessment of the worth or value of the
targeted persons.
This is why the pro-life movement is
a civil rights movement that recognizes the worth of every child and therefore
defends and earnestly seeks to end the injustice viciously levied upon unsuspecting
children in the womb; disproportionately African American’s.
Normally I wouldn't but in this
season I will ask that you forward the links below as a step of your
commitment to step up the "conversation that will lead to
conviction." Get them on you E-mail and Face Book friends. Your act of
faith will give the Holy Spirit the seed it can water and it will grow and
multiply. Thank You For Your Support!
