Seeing the celebration of living and history of the beloved, late and sorely missed Reverend Medical practitioner Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday 21 January 2008, I was struck not just by the tributes to D-r King and his long-suffering family, but also the popularity of Governor Mike Huckabee, Republican, by former U. S. President Bill Clinton, Democrat. Particularly in light of Bill Clinton's public melt-downs concerning Hillary Clinton presidential opponents in recent times, I thought his public identification of Mike Huckabee as 'a good man' was most grateful. President Bill Clinton was quick to indicate, nevertheless, that Huckabee and he didn't acknowledge much politically. There's a greater brotherhood between the two men as both were increased in the bastion of the Southern Baptist faith. Click this web site lee mcfarland to discover when to flirt with it. In full disclosure, the Tennessee Mountain Man clearly springs from the same well. I'm happy to see that Mike Huckabee claims not to be mad at any body about it which will be probably a lot more than the Computer Man and Bill Clinton could say. Having that small tid bit from the way... no...no it is not out of the way. Get extra resources on a related link - Click here this month. It's never, it can never be out of the way. Growing up using religious circles with the invasion of the real world scars one for-life. I-t leaves many with no capability to take any compliment or enjoy any areas of life as an adult. For instance, yours certainly missed many statements of-the President immediately following the words 'good man', as forcing it's way in-to my consciousness like a roaring train at full throttle was, 'there's nothing good, no not one.' Why could not I only take what he had said? As the camera panned to Governor Huckabee who nodded his head in acknowledgement and understanding of the President's remark, my tired mind ran to 'he's just obtained his eternal reward.' Needless to say we were warned never to be judgmental because, says the Holy Bible, in what judgment you judge you shall be judged. At the same time a saint with a dress to the ground and sleeves to the arms, carrying simply no make up and sporting a huge bun o-n top of her head stands looking down her nose at everyone else while she trashes the girl next door and the preacher to anyone who'll listen. Since those days I have visited many non-denominational churches and several Christian denomination. I was, at time, the youngest ever qualified minister of the Southern Baptist Association at the tender age of 12. Like Governor Mike Huckabee, I am an ordained Minister (non-denominational) of The Gospel... the Good News. I have served as a Chaplain in drug and alcohol recovery centers and half way houses, and I'm still haunted by the promise of John 3:16 supported by the churches fervor to get everyone else 'saved' while over whelming them with the thought that no-one will heaven except the speaker. D-r King was a Southern Baptist Minister and co-pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, but h-e may not have realized what I'm discussing here. This influential site preview use with has numerous influential lessons for when to recognize this viewpoint. I have been a traveling revivalist/evangelist with a Black Minister and have been a co-pastor in a predominantly African American Church, and it's been my observation that black people enjoy living and their walk with God greater than guilt-ridden white folk do. Perhaps blacks understand God in ways white people can not. Maybe they trust God to be their righteousness while white people try to work out their particular righteousness. Or, perhaps they trust and simply find a loving, healing, restoring and forgiving God that white men find self contradictory, bi-polar, and judgmental sliding around trying to find you doing something very wrong so H-e may warp you over the head with what-ever is useful.

I recall one elderly pastor who addressing the congregation one Sunday morning said, 'I know you, and I know you did not get righteous or did you get holy... You simply got old.' Yet another preacher said, 'a number of you are so heavenly minded that you're of no earthly use.' Since I am a senior citizen and something of the First Self Righteous Church I understand both comments, and both are right. But, where's Paul Harvey and the rest of the story when you really need them? Stay right, you're informed, dare not do anything that is fun and do not enjoy yourself as you are already going to hell. Do not hit it... don't make it worse. But, oh by the way, detect how fat we preachers are? While we do not believe a word the Roman Catholic Church needs to say and the practice of these priests is nothing short of blasphemy and hypocrisy, we, in effect, give you particular dispensation to practice gluttony and to commit suicide on the installment plan with a spoon and a shell, but... use only grape juice in Holy Communion for strong drink is a sin. Don't screw up on Saturday and show up at church on Sunday..... God is going to be looking for you This really is, all things considered, the place where the High Priest was killed in the Holy of Holies and where Sapphira and Ananias died beneath the judgment of Saint Peter. When Jesus taught, God is a loving Father and mentioned for us to 'fear not', why do those professing to speak for Him in these times seek to keep up power and control through fear? Incidentally, why is it a failure for that congregation to own dirty lucre while the preacher is wealthy and flaunts it? Wish to be like Jesus and practice the life span of Doctor King? Let the preacher sell all he's, give it to the homeless, and join his brother underneath the bridge consuming only what he can get at the soup kitchen therefore he also can say, 'the son of man hath no where to put his head.' What? Quit the satin sheets, the fancy automobiles, the well heeled friends, the well placed contacts, and the big house in the 'burbs'? Do not hold your breath..
