Blessed Reverend Martin Luther King Jr Day!
How did his prophetic ministry inspire you?
When a child, my church worked with the African Methodist Episcopal Church for civil rights.
Our Pastor and others went to some marches in Alabama and other places. I heard stories upon return. One story was of little girl and her mother…waiting in line to ride the Merry-Go-Round. The excited child, who was among the African-American race, asked her mother; “Mama, where is the back of the Merry-Go-Round?”
Apparently she was used to being treated as a second-class citizen; relegated to the back of lines. My parents and Sunday school teachers told us kids the story. And that Jesus does not treat anyone as second class citizens. Therefore — neither should we, as authentic, Christians.
What are your lessons from Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and others who led the Civil Rights Movement of the 50-s and 60s?
He left us another lesson too…that either humans are going to love each other together as brothers and sisters, all children of God’s Grace, or perish, together, as fools.
We do well to celebrate, remember, and employ lessons from a great prophet God sent to us.
Here we go!

For many years, I’ve been thinking about the history of “salvation” teachings in the Church, beginning amongst the first Christians. So, I’ve decided to write a series of short essays. Limited to 500 words each. Easy reads...click on the button to begin :)
