On "Being Saved"
in Black America
While growing up in a very religious and church-going family, I often
heard the phrase "Being Saved." Now to me and my peers, "Being Saved"
was a rather spooky and mystical thing, and only the real holy folk
could be such — whatever it was.

What Dr. King
Said About the King of Kings
Dear Friend, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was living, and even
after he died, some people tried to discredit him by suggesting that
Dr. King was not a true minister of the Gospel, and even that he did
not have a genuine relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, but that he
was just a mere social worker. However, from these direct quotations
from his lips, it seems as though he knew the KING of kings--Jesus
Christ. Dr. King said:

Music
Minister of the
Week: Mary Mary
When
it comes to urban gospel superstars Mary Mary, everything is done on a
big scale. All of their pursuits-musical, spiritual, or otherwise-are
larger-than-life: not a single thing is left to chance. For them,
there's simply no room for halfway, half-done, half-baked efforts. No
matter the venture, the bar is always sky-high. Absolutely everything
must be handled with an utmost sense of excellence. Beyond the music,
THE SOUND also marks the launching point for a new phase in the
sisters' career. In addition to it, the singers hope to continue to
expand the Mary Mary brand to territories once uncharted for the duo,
into areas such as a bath and beauty line, a designer t-shirt
collection, children's books and music, interactive computer games,
stage work, television, and much more. Of these projects, perhaps the
one they're the most excited about is BE U-a bath, body, and candle
line whose purpose isn't to only encourage external beauty, but also to
foster inner splendor, honesty, and integrity. "We don't want
to
limit ourselves to just singing," Tina says. "All the gifts and all the
talents and all the great entrepreneurial ideas that God has given us,
we want to use them." She continues: "I don't care if you're making a
statement in fashion, doing movies that reflect who you are, whatever
it is that you decide to do outside of just one thing-if God has gifted
you, you should do it all to bring Him glory." E-mail

The
Word of God for this Week
"Beloved,
let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth
is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth
not
God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God
toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we
loved
God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for
our sins.."
--1 John 4:7-10
“The
true call of a Christian is not to do extraordinary things, but to do
ordinary things in an extraordinary way..” --Dean Stanley
MOTIVATING VERSE: "And
Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God." --Mark
11:22
"Let
your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.” --Matthew
5:16
Dr Isaac Watts was an English minister who published
several
books: « Hymns and Spiritual Songs », in 1707,
“The
Psalms of David” in 1717. The various Protestant
denominations
adopted his hymns, which were included in several hymnals, at that
time. Missionaries reported on the “ecstatic
delight”
slaves took in singing the psalms and hymns of Dr Watts. In his book
“The Religious Instruction of the Negroes in the United
States” (1842), the White minister Charles Colock Jones
recommended highly some hymns of Dr Watts (“When I Can read
My
Title Clear”, etc.). He wrote: “One great advantage
in
teaching them (slaves) good psalms and hymns, is that they are thereby
induced to lay aside the extravagant and nonsensical chants, and
catches and hallelujah songs of their own composing”.
However, in
the early 1800s, Black ministers took seriously the admonition of Dr
Isaac Watts: “Ministers are to cultivate gifts of preaching
and
prayer through study and diligence; they ought also to cultivate the
capacity of composing spiritual songs and exercise it along with the
other parts of the worship, preaching and prayer”. So,
homiletic
spirituals were created by preachers and taught to the congregation by
them or by deacons. During the post-Civil War period and later, some
congregation conducted services without hymnbooks. A deacon
(or
precentor) set the pitch and reminded the words in half-singing
half-chanting stentorian tones. The people called their songs
“long-meter hymns (because the tempo was very low) or
“Dr
Watts”, even if they have not been written by this
gentleman. Source:
