Wow.
I was surprised at my extreme emotional response to this message. I thoroughly enjoyed the first (un-incriminating) third, laughing at the humorous account with sign-language. Then my world exploded in silent rage when the conversation turned to being a prophet as a dangerous, deadly occupation. Given how angry I became, I might have been among those who picked up stones to stone Jesus. I never seriously considered how completely incomplete my narrative might be. I wish I wasn’t as angry as I was. I long to have a soft, teachable heart. How can my heart be changed? Perhaps viewing the Selma movie screening and being part of that discussion will help. I believe the date for that was January 6. How can I sign up?

We will be seeing Selma together with 3 other churches from Washington, DC on January 6. Hope you can join us for the screening and the discussion.

Please read this short but moving account here. David also preached about the Ferguson and Staten Island events last Sunday and you can listen to the sermon here. […]
