Radiance Says, NAACP = National Association For The ABORTION Of Colored People

I have wondered for years why the Black community seems to be readily accepting of abortion. Statistics say that Black women abort their fetuses to the tune of nearly 1,450 per day since abortion was legalized in 1973.

Although Blacks (men and women) account for approximately 13.2% of the total United States population, they yet account for over 20% of all abortions (11 million out of the estimated 50 million abortions) performed since 1973. 

These are ASTOUNDING numbers!

I contend that historically there may be 2 startling reasons that abortion is such an accepting act among Blacks. I propose that the first may be that Dr. Martin Luther King, the champion of modern civil rights himself, received the Margaret Sanger Award In Human Rights, issued by Planned Parenthood in 1966. At that time, Planned Parenthood lauded Dr. King for lending his voice to "worldwide voluntary family planning" and for:

Coretta King Receives
Sangar Hunmanitarian Award
for Dr. Martin L. King Jr.

"unique qualities of understanding, compassion and bravery, and for his wise and unwavering leadership in securing for all people their basic human right to knowledge, dignity and opportunity that are a fount and principle of Margaret Sanger's life, this award is presented" ~ HERE

The very association of Dr. King to Margaret "EUGENICS NEGRO PROJECT" Sanger is sickening. Here we have a woman that did all she could to limit the growth and development of the Black community in particularly through targeted abortions and other methods, associated with a champion of justice, liberty and equality for the same group of persons that Sanger, through Planned Parenthood, targeted...YUCK!!!! 

Nevertheless, it may be that this "association" is the backdrop of the historical acceptance of abortion among Blacks.

IN ADDITION

Another reason for the acceptance of abortion among Blacks may be the historic endorsement of a woman's "right to choose" by the NAACP. Recently, the Radiance Foundation referenced and severely criticized the NAACP for its position of "right to choose" by displaying an NAACP 1967 Resolution endorsing "family planning, and a subsequent 2004 Resolution of the NAACP endorsing the 2004 March For Life, in which abortion supporters from around the world marched on Washington DC to demonstrate their support of abortion. 

"Board Chair Julian Bond said, "This is an issue of equal rights, and we are pleased to join those insisting on a woman's right to control her own body." ~ Feb. 2004 NAACP Press Release

In their 2004 endorsement of the pro-abortion movement, the NAACP traced their endorsement of a woman's right to choose (aka: abortion) to the 1920's, and its founder W.E.B. Dubois, in essence equating the abortion issue to an issue of "equal access" as opposed to a moral issue or an issue damaging to the Black community and Black women in particularly. even when exposed the NAACP stood by its rhetoric claiming:

“On the issue of abortion, NAACP has not supported abortion but rather supports a woman’s right to choose. NAACP’s decision not to support abortion has been influenced at least in part by the strong religious values and beliefs held by many of those in its leadership, including leading members of the clergy from across the United States.”

This statement was no more than an equivocation on the issue using semantics to cover up the real truth that the NAACP endorses abortion in the guise of a 'woman's right to choose".

Needless to say, the linking of the NAACP to this issue, by web posts and acronym associations from the Radiance Foundation such as:

National Association For The ABORTION of Colored People

National Association For The Advancement of CERTAIN People

National Association For The AGITATION of Colored People

National Association For The ANIMOSITY of CONSERVATIVE People

NOT ACTUALLY ADVANCING Colored People~ (THE BEST ONE IN MY OPINION)

were also not welcomed by the NAACP and they wanted vengeance! 

1st Amendments Rights & FREEDOM OF SPEECH UPHELD!

In response to the Radiance Foundation's linking of the NAACP to the message of abortion and shedding light on the issue, the NAACP sued the Radiance Foundation, claiming that Radiance had acted improperly by linking their organization to abortion advocacy. This was in effort to clearly deny the Radiance Foundation's 1st Amendment rights to expose the issue and educate the public that the NAACP was indeed a proponent of abortion under the guise of a "woman's right to choose". It seems that the NAACP simply wanted Radiance, and anyone else,  to basically shut-up...

RADIANCE FOUNDATION WEB SITE

In an UNANIMOUS May 2015 decision against the NAACP, the Radiance Foundation's rights of freedom of speech were upheld by the court. One can hear the Court Arguments on the issue HERE

KUDOS to the Radiance Foundation for taking a stand for the right of Freedom of speech and against the dearth of abortion which is killing Black America. The Radiance Foundation's victory and timeline can be found HERE

Final Word: INTOLERANCE!!!

Fascism is a governmental polity or system that is authoritarian, and intolerant of alternate views or practices. A fascist can be said to be a person who endorses fascism or one who gives fascism legs. Since they fought opposing views so vehemently, and since they continue to suggest that those who don't agree with their positions are "not really Black" or do not represent the views of Blacks across America, can we ask the question, "Is the NAACP a fascist organization?"

For a group to so vehemently fight against the views and opinions of individuals who "dare" go against what that group wants the public to believe about them, is amazing to me.

Election 2016

Fast Forward to 2016...We have a 2 term Black President that has not only endorsed abortion under the same motif as the NAACP, but one who has promoted and proliferated homosexual rights further than any standing President in American history. We have a pending election and the Democrats are by far endorsing and encouraging either an avowed Socialist (Bernie Sanders) or a Democratic liberal (aka: progressive) Hillary Clinton, who HAS RECEIVED THE ENDORSEMENT OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD, and who some actually believe endorses values that "represent" Black America...(even though they "pretend' to be mad at her husband for signing a crime bill while in office that they were all aware of before he signed it)

In other words their definition of "America" is not one where there is freedom to voice opinion and freedom to expose truth and discuss things and call people into question and accountability, but their vision is one of subjugation to their agenda whatever their agenda may be. Notice, their agenda is always without or apart from God or objective morality, yet it always includes the acceptance of the church and church leaders

It is based on how they (whomever they are) "feel" about matters and issues, and when there is conflict, all they do is redefine terms to fit the need and then, if all else fails, they threaten their way to the abject silence of all detractors.

Thomas, known as "doubting Thomas" within the Gospels, told his fellow disciples that he would not believe that Jesus had been resurrected unless he saw him and examined his scars for himself. he was not going to believe if he had not personally examined the person of a risen Jesus. According to the gospel of John, nearly 7 to 8 days later, Jesus appeared in the room where the disciples had gathered themselves and challenged John, to examine his scars, to touch his hands, feet and his side, so that he could be convinced that Jesus had actually risen from the dead. (Lk. 24:36-43, Jn. 20: 24-29) 

TRUTH invites examination! The only ones saying "shut-up" and "leave me alone" and don't examine this issue, are individuals who are either demon possessed, like the demoniac(s) at Gadara, or someone who simply doesn't want to be exposed or examined in light of what is really true.

The complete liberal agenda is full of proponents that would trash all rights to preserve their evil deeds...Well, as a drunk once told me...

JESUS is the LIGHT and HIS TRUTH shines ALL OVER THE WORLD!

To that, I say a hearty AMEN!

Blessed!

Can't Take Our Heritage Away!

In a recent update of the fundraising portion for my new book, "Ministering Effectively"

I reminded the audience that our heritage in Christ and in church could not be simply taken away and done away with as the secular left has seemingly proposed. 

My reason for saying this, is because as we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday we are reminded that the tribute to him erected in Washington, DC. in 2011 included everything BUT his heritage and the real reason that he engaged the civil rights struggle as he did. 

Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial

To be clear, there is NO REFERENCE to Dr. King as being a "Pastor", a "Servant Of Jesus Christ", or one who "Served God". There is not even a reference to scripture or the bible as being the guide or motive for his efforts in the movement. Also, one only need to look at the title of the memorial, "Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial" to see that even his title "Dr." has been taken away by the liberal elite under a liberal Black President. 

In their efforts to not "offend" and to be so inclusive, as their necessary condition is these days, those who created the memorial, and those who approved it (which include some of Dr. King's own family members) took the ultimate step to rewrite history, and only acknowledge the portions of history that they agree with and to offend the very un-enigmatic roots and source for the strength of Dr. King during the struggle.  

This is a SAD shame on America and upon every person of color in America who has endured unfair and unequal treatment based on race or ethnic background. This is a SAD shame upon America to realize that in a memorial that addresses so called "civil rights" that religious rights and freedoms are clearly struck down as being insignificant and are under attack. 

This is what I said in the new note:

Can't Take Our Heritage Away!

Interestingly, there is overwhelming historical evidence that the modern civil rights and social justice movements were birthed out of the church. In fact, if we look at positive change that occurs in the world, overwhelmingly the church is at the center of things and the place where ideas are transformed into action.

As we celebrate another Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day, let us be reminded that secular society, while attempting to honor him, has tried to strip his memory of his heritage, within the church and God.

Although the highly controversial monument was erected in Dr. Martin Luther King's honor in 2011 without a SINGLE reference to Jesus Christ and or scripture, we know that without Pastor King's desire to serve both his God and his community, that Black and poor minorities would continue to be trivialized in their plight for change.

"Ministering Effectively" is looking beyond self, self desires and needs, and refusing to adjust to the "status quo". That is what those that truly serve HIM do!

Your gifts towards this book helps send the message out to countless millions that we CAN overcome anything with Jesus and that each individual can bring change to their community.

How many Dr. King's are there out there? How many of us are willing and ready to "Minister Effectively" to our Christ KING? 

May the Lord continue to bless you this Pastor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Thank you for your prayers and your contributions!

The critic can say what they wish, but those who believe in and are confident of the truth clearly and unobtrusively know that the fight for social justice, liberation, and freedom, even freedom from slavery was birthed out of the church and because of the Bible and its teachings on the same issues of liberation. 

Conclusion

My son recently told me of a conversation in which a person said that they didn't believe in the bible because it endorsed slavery and that most slave traders in American history used the Bible to affirm their racist beliefs.

I responded by pointing out and saying this...

"Are we as confident that the slave traders did what they did because they believed in the Bible, or because they were White and sinners who felt that they could do it? History affirms that the only reason that slave trading was challenged as an acceptable practice, was not because of some secular and materialistic paradigm (survival of the fittest certainly endorses slavery) but it was because of the biblical paradigm and world view that men, some even slave traders themselves, could no longer give themselves to an institution that was so diabolically against love, humanity and all the good and moral things that humans embrace. We know from history that it was because of the Bible that abolitionists fought against slavery. So are we really as confident that folk believed in slavery because of the bible? I think not! Slavery was always a product of elitism. What the Bible calls a "proud look" which is a sin. Money and the love of money was at its heart, which the bible condemns as a moral ethic in the service of humanity. So it can hardly be said that slavery was a product of the Bible and or God when everything that slavery represented was opposed to him. So ask the question again, was it mostly because of the Bible or because some were White and sinners? We are confident that slavery as an institution was condemned because of the Bible and belief in God, but less confident of the alternate." 

"Amazing Grace!" Men find liberation in the cross and as we celebrate Pastor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, let us remember that the cross can do for us what noone is able to do...save our souls and deliver us from SIN and unrighteousness!

Blessed!

Sandy Hook, Free Will & Tragedy. What Is The Relationship?

Since the unfortunate murders of over 26 fellow Americans in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the question has been posed over and over, why God did not stop the killer from killing innocent children and professionals taking care of them? 

We have to acknowledge that this is a valid sentiment and one that makes sense from a human standpoint. However, we also must acknowledge that we may never know many of life's mysteries but because we don't know something doesn't mean that there is no valid reason for it. 

The Character, Nature & The Existence Of God Called Into Question

The questions that we hear regarding the Sandy Hook tragedy are age old. It is simply the Problem of Evil or what is called The Epicurean Paradox. Here is a version of it, applicable to this discourse: 

• If God is anything, he must be all powerful and have the ability to do anything including prevent tragedy. 
• If he is God he certainly he could have stopped the gunman, by either saving him then and there on the spot, striking him dead beforehand or even causing his gun to jam or any number of things that would have prevented him from doing what he did BEFORE the killing rampage. 

The final part to this thought is that 

• If God is indifferent, he is not good and therefore not God, or 
• If he is powerless to prevent tragedy, he is not God as he would not be all powerful. 

The deduction here is that God simply doesn't exist. Although the first premise is flawed and invalidates all the others parts to the paradox, I believe that this is one of the primary arguments being levied as it pertains to God and religion in the Sandy Hook case or experience.  

What Can Be Said?

Many things...In reality, I know some people who are saved today because God stopped or redirected a

The New Civil Rights ~ "You're Not Black If You Don't Support Obama"

As we arrive at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday season, commemorating the struggle for civil rights and freedom from racial oppression, I want to deal with the sentiment that seems to be arising within the black community. It seems that a new thought has arisen that says that if a black person does not endorse President Obama, or if he/she critically assesses him or what he has delivered during this Presidency, that they themselves are less faithful to the black community and in many cases not really black.

Blacks Rejecting Other Blacks With Various Opinions

Although I have been observing this phenomena for a while, recently, in my community, Tavis Smiley was rejected from being a featured speaker at the annual MLK Jr. Luncheon by a group of women calling themselves the Colored Ladies Book Club. This group, consisting of what would be considered successful, black women, many of them wives of successful black men, many of whom assume the civil rights leadership position as it pertains to the local black community. The Colored Ladies Book Club threatened to "boycott" the event because they had a problem with the criticisms that Tavis regularly levels towards President Obama and his actions during his presidency in relationship to the needs of the black community. In response to the abrupt end to his invitation to motivate the Peoria black community, Tavis said this:

“I don’t see my role as one of criticizing the president. I see my role as one of holding the president – this and every other president accountable,”...“Something is wrong with this country…that so often the political right, and I am no defender of the political right…gets accused of playing the game of political correctness. What this underscores is that those on the left, the Democrats can play that game of political correctness as well,” ~ Tavis Smiley

My thoughts and insights into the situation and a review of what I believe is the error of the Book Club, can be found on the Peoria Pastors Blog.

Dr. Steve Perry...Need I Say More?

When I first saw this video, I was motivated and inspired by what I see as one of the greatest educators of our time. When I saw it again recently, I am even more so inspired. If we had a Steve Perry in each community, the educational system and the world would be a different place. This is the cutting edge and we need to be there. Take a minute and listen to this. Your perspective will forever be changed.

I challenge each reader of the Dunamis Word, to take one day every two weeks to volunteer your time, talent and energy at the local school. I guarantee the principals and teachers will love it and even more, the young people you touch will too.

BARACK-ING the GAY AGENDA - CAN WE REALLY SAY YES TO THIS CHANGE?

In a recent comment exchange with an individual on a popular nationally syndicated, music station web-site, I asked should we as a church endorse and promote homosexual Gospel artists and musicians? Of course I was met by the same ole "all sin is sin" and "we are all sinners saved by grace" commentary as expected. After some bantering, I had the opportunity to explain the unique egregious nature of homosexual sin and set forth the following statement:

"You know whose feeling will be hurt? My children and your children's when they get confused thinking that God has accepted the sins and abominations of a sinner while we endorse the same sinners actions and gender bending ways, and encourage them to hide somewhere in the church so they won't draw much attention"

I further explained that I wasn't going to be the one to give homosexuals the opportunity to twist the minds of MY children or the children in our churches through "silent endorsement" while sodomites and lesbians sing, parade and perform without the correction and rebuke of the Lord through sound leadership and biblical exposition.

Silent Endorsement? - Y'u-know, that's the type of endorsement given without words. The type of endorsement that allows our Sainted Bishops, Mothers, Pastors, Ministers, and Evangelists to sit and watch the "gay exchanges" that take place among their musicians, choirs and church leaders while sitting and saying NOTHING.

All too often when many Christian leaders say that they do "feel led" to say something, it's usually things like "God said let the wheat and tare grow together." That type of endorsement is similar to what the military uses..."Don't ask, don't tell."

If this type of "silent endorsement" from the church continues and if Barack Obama is elected, (Especially now that he has our beloved Kennedy Family endorsement) I guess we should expect to see a federal requirement of 3rd and 4th styled bathrooms installed in our churches...One for SAME GENDER LOVING MEN/WOMEN and another for SAME GENDER LOVING WOMEN/MEN ???

Yep, you read it right. I said BARACK OBAMA. Just in case you didn't know, read the following idealistic commentary regarding gay and homosexual rights that our dear Senator plans to confer upon the nation if elected:

"I am not willing to have the state deny American citizens a civil union that confers equivalent rights on such basic matters as hospital visitation or health insurance coverage simply because the people they love are of the same sex – nor am I willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the sermon on the mount." ~ Sen. Barack H. Obama

Now, the POLITICIAN has reinterpreted the Bible calling Romans 1:24-28 "an obscure line"... FYI, here's what that "obscure line" says:

"Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; "

Further, President elect Obama plans to change the actuarial basis of risk assessment currently used by insurance companies. From his statement and many others, he has postured himself to assume not only political leadership of the nation but also spiritual leadership and direction of the church if elected. All done to fit his worldview of "gay-inclusion." ~ CHANGE? NO WE CAN'T!

Leadership of the church by secular and political figures?...Well, needless to say, all of this has been tried before.

In Mt. 2:13-19 we read a little of the story of Herod the Great (73Bc-4BC) FYI- He was a wicked and mentally ill King of Judea from about 40 BC - 4BC his very name means HERO. He was appointed Procurator of Judea by Roman Emperor Julius Caesar in 47 BC. He was made "King of Judea" by the Roman Senate at the suggestion of Roman Emperor Marc Antony and later confirmed by Roman Emperor Octavian after the battle of Actium. He married 10 women and killed most of the Hasmonaean royal family (of which he was a member) and virtually any Jew that opposed his government. He even proceeded to kill even his dearly beloved wife Mariamne of the Hasmonaean line and his two sons she had borne him. By these acts of bloodshed, and especially by his love and imitation of Roman customs and institutions and by the burdensome taxes imposed upon his subjects, he so alienated the Jews that he was unable to regain their favour while living even though he mastered a splendid restoration of the Jewish temple and other acts of munificence.


In Matthew 2 we see Herod as one who would "seek the child (Jesus) to destroy him" (v.13) and one who ordered the murder of Jewish children under the age of 2 when the wise men didn't come back to him (v.16)


It's obvious that Herod WAS NOT the King of the Jews although he gladly assumed that leadership. Powerful people (people drunk with their power) do what people in power do...self indulge and follow their emotions. We already know that Barack will resist the church and fight ON BEHALF OF the gay agenda if elected, but what makes this profound is that Planned Parenthood also gives Sen. Barack Obama a 100% rating...

WHAT?

PLANNED PARENTHOOD???

WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT???

Well, this is the same Planned Parenthood under which 500,000 African-American babies are killed EVERY YEAR in the United States. The same Planned Parenthood that currently encourages 1,452 black baby deaths EVERY DAY in the United States. Senator Barack Obama has a 100% Rating (out of 100) from the same organization that since 1973 has been responsible for the DEATH of almost 13 MILLION BLACK BABIES in the United States under the guise of the "legal right"of abortion.

CONSIDER THIS

• Since 1973 in the African-American community 203,695 people have died of AIDS
• Since 1973 in the African-American community 1,638,350 people have died of CANCER
• Since 1973 in the African-American community 2,266,789 people have died of HEART DISEASE
• Since 1973 in the African-American community 13,000,000 (13 MILLION) people or (BABIES) HAVE BEEN KILLED under the guise of abortion aka a woman's right to choose.

The greatest Civil Rights Leader of all time, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said this:

"Any success achieved at the expense of our children is no success."

It would seem that modern success is at the expense of our children, and their destruction and abuse is the order of the day. I'm glad that Jesus had a much better understanding of the future and what it would take to please God:

Mark 10:14-16~ "But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them."

Black children in particular are being sought for destruction and unfortunately our babies are unable to fend for themselves but they are vital to the future survival of America and the African-American ethnicity in particular.

BUT WHERE IS THE CHURCH?

Seekin' "Mo-Money", Being Driven by Their Purpose, Runnin' After Their Destiny, and Falling Hook, Line & Sinker For Gay Singers, Uninformed Preachers and False Prophets(esseses- whatever!)

Herod thought that if he painted a beautiful enough picture that he would gain the peoples confidence, love and eventual respect. He built a temple so grand that years after his death that Jews had forgotten about his overt sins and magnified the work of his hands and were enamoured so much that they repeatedly called the temple Herod's Temple. They even were upset that Jesus foretold of the Temple's destruction and even analogized the superiority of HIS Temple (body) to that built by the hands of men (Mt. 24:1-3, Mk. 13:1-2, Mt. 26:61-62, John 2:18-21)

Ephes. 5:15-18~ "See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;"

The church has become enamoured and seemingly drunken by it's ability to grow in popularity, expand in worldly attachments and commitments, commercialize in functionality and add sheer numbers by direct mail, TV and media positioning and popular marketing strategies. All of this has been done at the expense of preaching the TRUE Gospel. Well, to drive the point home, even my church, The Grand Ole Church Of God In Christ, has become subject to this. (By the way, I ain't leavin' you'll have to kick me out if you really want me to go) A large Jurisdiction recently opened it's doors to Barack Obama and his campaign on the back of political promises and popularity while many of my fellow Brethern and Sistern sat SILENTLY giving endorsement to all of what you've read on this page.

No I don't think that Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ or Herod "reincarnated" or whatever post-modern thought would lead individuals to believe. I am hoping that those of us who are spiritual would see the greater problems that are looming and know what we are really dealing with.

Ephes. 6:11~"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

Although, the "domino effect" of poor education, poverty, social injustice, drug addiction, and economic and racial disparity has certainly ravaged our communities, there yet remains no substitute or excuse for responsible behavior and most importantly, a sincere commitment to God and dedication to HIS word NOT political leaders.

Psalms 119:105 ~ "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

What we're talking about is influence. Who's influence shall we be under as we seek to ask God for a deliverance for HIS church and the people of our communities? Will it be the influence of Man or the influence of the True and Living God?

Galations 3:1a~ "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth,..."

Galations 5:7-9~ "Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump"

Yes I agree, this is CHANGE, but can we as a church say YES WE CAN to this mess? Maybe we should all ask Pastor Donnie M. before we attempt to say anything. I'm sure he'll tell us the truth.

Personally, I'll follow the late, great, and Sainted Bishop C.H. Mason on this one and ONLY say YES LORD!

Blessed!
