I have written about Rev. Joel Gregory and his book, What We Love About Black Churches: Can We Get A Witness, at least twice in the last two months. Go to the search box on the right, enter his name or the book title to find previous posts. Here is an interesting article about his background. I hope to purchase and read the book soon. It's on my long, long list of things to do.

Government Photographer Asked Church Volunteers Not to Wear Religious T-Shirts in Video About Tornado Aftermath - BCNN1

This is what I'm talking about right here. Christians are often criticized for not doing enough in the community to help those in need. The criticism is justified oftentimes, but when we come not only willing and ready to work, but bearing our Cross, not just on the inside, but on the outside for the world to see, then don't attempt to pass us off, media people, as just another group of Christless do-gooders out there one-upping the Christians. That is basically what happened in this story. A FEMA photographer attempted to cover up, circumvent even, the role the faith based community played recently in helping tornado survivors pick up the pieces of their windblown lives. He told church volunteers to take off their Christian t-shirts before going on camera in his video. This FEMA administrator apologized for the blunder.

Dr. Glaude, "Who Signed the Death Certificate on the Black Church?" As a White Brother Looking In, "the Black Church is Energetic, Living, and Flourishing" - BCNN1
The past decade has afforded me an opportunity rarely found in recent American church culture. For a complex of reasons I have become a white preacher in black churches. I have spoken before more than 200 African American congregations, conferences, and conventions in more than twenty states each year.
From coast to coast and border to border, in urban centers and small towns, I have preached in America's black churches. These include not only black Baptist congregations but African Methodist Episcopal, Church of God in Christ, and other historically black denominations.
From that experience, I am at a loss for an explanation of Dr. Glaude's statement that the black church is dead. If it is, I do not know who signed the death certificate or notified the next of kin. In every way I can measure vitality, the black church is energetic, living, and flourishing.

Praising God For Mother!
Guardians Tag Ministry
Here is an opportunity to praise God for mother. She brought you into this world, and let her tell it, she will take you out. Where would you be without her in your life? What specifically has she done to help you become the Christian man or woman you are today? Take a praise break with Jesus Saves Ministries and praise God for your mother, grandmother, foster mother, God mother, aunt, or that special female who has been a God-fearing mother and nurturer to you.
Add a brief note to your mother to the bottom of this blog post on the Jesus Saves Social Network letting her know how much you appreciate her.
Example:
"Dear Mom (Grandmama, Big Mama, etc.),
I was thinking about you and all the Godly advice you have given me throughout the years. You have always been there for me and I can't begin to say how much I appreciate you for all the Godly advice you blessed me with.
Love,
Your daughter/son"
