The Sunday Message: "Dream of A White Horse"

My dream revealed a White Horse. The horse was in the traffic with cars. The Horse was unusually large in size and in height . There was a  person on the horse, but his face was not for me to see.

Revelation 6:1-2 


1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
 
Revelation 19:9-11
9 Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

The Sunday Message: "Valentine's Day Letter"

Fam,

This is a letter that I wrote to Senator Warner in 2006. I believe this letter to be very fitting for Valentine's Day.



Valentine's Day

As a major Holiday


December 17, 2006


Dear Senator Warner,


I, Brenda Calloway Miller, wish to submit my request to have Valentine's Day celebrated as a major holiday.




Let me first began by stating how such an idea took form. On February 14, 1976, both of my parents were stripped away from me at 3 years old. At that age I didn't have a meaning for the word love, but thinking back, I remember feeling it. So, when my father killed my mother on Valentine's Day through Domestic Violence, though tragic, that was his own way of dealing with rejection and pain. This shows how once again, the strength of love, combined with jealousy, is underestimated.
Approaching the 31st anniversary of my mother's death, I celebrate that day with a lot in mind...
Yes, Valentine's Day does have a yearly spot on the calendar, but it usually comes and goes in the midst of a regular routine, seemingly not important enough to celebrate on the same scale as Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Join me as I ponder the question, What do we really know about this indiscriminate word LOVE?

Well, we do know that Webster's Dictionary lists the meaning as...
love - Intense affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties; a strong feeling of attraction;
heart - The hollow, primary muscular organ of vertebrates which circulates blood throughout the body, the emotional center, such as in love, hate, consideration, or compassion.
If I wrote the word “love”, and asked each individual to give their own meaning, I believe the many ideas of love would amaze the most cultured mind. As sure as the heart is the main organ in one's body, it is the main thing that drives us in our daily decisions.
For example: The brave women and men in the military are willing to die, on behalf of their love for this country. Let's not forget the selfless firefighters and policemen who lost their lives out of love and compassion on September 11, 2001. When people were running out of the towers, they were going in. The civilians on Flight 93's love was so strong for the U.S. they said, “Let's roll.”
Though it's painful to recount the events, it's still crucial that we not downplay the power of LOVE.
I can't talk about love, without talking about the world's creator, and how He gave His life on the cross to pay for our sins. The love of Jesus spared my life, let me see His face and have Him tell me what it would take to keep my life.
In the CONCORDANCE of the BIBLE, there are over 60 references to the word love. My love is so absolutely strong for The Lord, that I feel compelled to share scripture for my closing words...

(SONG OF SOLOMON 8:6-7) “Set me as a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm: For love is as strong as death, Jealousy as cruel as the grave; It's flames are flames of fire, A most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can floods drown it. If a man would give for love All the wealth of his house, It would be utterly despised.”

The Sunday Message: "Black History & Freedom"

Black People were among the first native Americans on this continent, they were the last people in the United States to receive voting rights. For the most part, the unfortunate reasoning behind white resistance was racial prejudice.

Regardless of the color, triumphant armies made slaves of conquered peoples. Initially, African slaves were prizes of war. But, because of God preparing countless resilient, and brave people, He gave them the strength to go on.

Though we will never be able to right the wrongs of History or ever learn every name of those who stood up for Civil Rights, we should never forget the heart wrenching struggles that were eminent. Just like the soldiers who become casualties of war are honored for serving our Country, so should the enslaved soldiers who became the casualties of war in Black History. It is important to move ahead, but also crucial to never those who received the brunt of the storm by being hung in the name of hatred, helplessly tortured, bodies mutilated for their families to witness, and those who gave their lives to make it possible for the first black President to take his place and create change in the White House today.

I have to point out that there were some good white people too. John Fairfield, of a Virginia slave-holding family, was one. John was a conductor on the Underground Railroad. At times he posed as a slave-trader or sometimes as a traveling evangelist, he aided many slaves in leaving the South.

Harriet Ross Tubman was a strong black woman, at about 28 when she escaped in 1849 from a Maryland plantation. Harriet left her family behind, all but two brothers who started out with her, but they became frightened and went back. Imagine if this were to happen again, this would draw too much attention. Harriet was not having it...She began to carry a pistol and now the game was changed. Things came down to do or die, If any slave heading North in her parties even tried that foolishness...Harriet would let them know, “You'll be free or die!” Singing seamlessly harmless Negro Spirituals, but the lyrics were a code alerting slaves to her presence. Ms. Underground Railroad Conductor (network of people and places), The Moses of her people (coined after Moses in the Bible), Mrs. Harriet Ross Tubman went on 19 secret trips in the dangerous South, she guided more than 300 slaves to freedom. During the Civil War, she planned and led a raid that freed 750 slaves.

“Free at last, Free at last, Thank God Almighty, We are free at last.”
-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
