Humankind is susceptible to 2 types of sin: (1) The State Of Sin that originated from the fall of Adam and Eve; which we are all born into. (2) The Acts Of Sin which we as imperfect mortals tend to commit everyday. This is why God The Father, bestowed His mercy and grace upon us and sent Christ, in the flesh, to save us. For God knew that without Jesus we would all be doomed by either our State Of Sin or our Acts Of Sin. Christ's death on the cross symbolized the death of our State Of Sin; that we could (through The Son) become acceptable in the eyes of The Father again. Through Christ's sacrifice of His Blood our random Acts Of Sin ( through genuine repentance) are washed clean everyday by that same Blood. We must acknowledge that only through the sacrifice of Christ could our Salvation ever become possible. Without Jesus Christ we would remain in a State Of Sin too unclean to approach The Father God. This is why we pray in the name of Jesus. Without Jesus Christ our Acts Of Sin would cling to us like filthy rags and drag us to certain doom. God loves us so much that He provided The One Way for a man or woman to once again achieve acceptability in His Eyes. Spiritual Salvation through Jesus Christ takes a personal and individual effort but it is there for everyone to grasp. Accept Christ so that He will know and accept you. Surrender to Christ so that He will save you. Believe with all your heart that you cannot do it without Him...Accept Him as The Only Begotten Son of God...Believe that He truly is your Saviour... Don't be afraid or ashamed to say this out of your mouth to anyone...Keep Him as the Head of your life...Acknowledge, praise and worship Him and His amazing Power...Give Him the credit for every blessing that you give and receive...and just as He rose up from the grave to live forever....Through your devotion and faith in Jesus Christ...
SO SHALL YOU!

The 10th Anniversary Of The 911 Attacks... Terrorism Is No Stranger To Black America
We are coming up on the 10th anniversary of the 911 World Trade Center Attacks. This was a tragic moment in American history, but it was no more tragic than the bombing of the 16th St Baptist Church in Birmingham 1963 which killed 4 young black girls, or the beatings and wrongful imprisonment of the Freedom Riders in 1961, or the assasination of Medgar Evers and Dr King, or the 1964 murders of the 3 "Freedom Summer" civil rights workers in Neshoba County Mississippi, or the police brutality and killings of young students and protesters in Birmingham 1963, or all the unresolved and unpunished terrorism and murders of blacks by the KKK, or the unbalanced lack of employment oportunities for black people right now (today), causing greater poverty in our neighborhoods which in turn causes more crime which in turn places an uneven percentage of black people in American jails and prisons. The list goes on and on and on! Yes, 911, on a grand scale, was undoubtedly a horrific tragedy and a legitimate reason for mourning. However, it was nothing that we, as black people, were not already used to. If we address one act of terrorism, on American soil, then we must address them all. There is no difference between a so-called Muslim wearing a turban or kufi planting a bomb or a so-called Christian wearing a hooded robe or para-military camouflage planting a bomb; when the end results is to cause the pain and death of innocent people (No matter what race, religion, creed or nationality) due to some type of misguided and sociopathic hatred. A lot of innocent lives were lost on September 11, 2001. But, if we total it all up, even more innocent lives have been destroyed or lost due to the injustices setforth upon black people (just for being black) by terrorist born right here in the USA.
