Emanuel Church of God In Christ "Building Upon A Solid Foundation"
Elder Michael & Evangelist Anastasia Richardson: God Bless Our Troops America!!
911!! God Bless America
time in our nation; Our most fervent prayers are extended to our young member, Brother Mark Calloway, who is scheduled to go to Afghanistan to fight for our country; We take this time out to pray for all of the service men and women of the armed forces who are facing this life-threatening task of protecting our safety; We are praying for their safe return, and we plead the blood of Jesus that these, our loved ones, shall return unharmed safely in our Savior's Arms! If you would like to send encouraging words to our service men and women, especially during the holidays, the Pentagon is encouraging well wishers to send correspondence through a website accessible to all military personnel. Go to http://anyservicemember.navy.mil/ May God Bless you as you fight the war on terrorism! With no disrespect to Lady Liberty, we as Americans and Christians, must not cease to fight terrorism, the war on poverty, drug trafficking, organized crime, religious extremism, and unjust politicalism. We must forever lift up the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord!
Liberty is the air that we Americans breathe: "Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof" Leviticus 25:10......... Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me!
Elder Richardson and the Emanuel Church Of God In Christ Family are aware of the devastation and anguish resulting from the 911 terrorist attack on America! We offer our most fervent prayers for the victims and their colleagues, their families and their friends. We are cognizant of the fact that God is yet in control during the aftermath of this painful and tragic ordeal; Even in the midst of this bitter harvest we can yet celebrate God's goodness and mercy and accept God's peace, and establish greatfulless and thankfulness for all the personal relationships and things we once took for granted. So, let us shake off the bitterness and despair, and the abiding fears, and regain renewed faith, renewed relationships, and blessed restoration with the Lord our God. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, for he will serve as our antidepressant when we begin to ponder over whether or not we should place a gas mask into our atache case or our daily mail into the micro wave, or whether or not I should set up a contingency plan for future terrorist attacks? We must remember to take refuge in our God Jehovah! Remember it was David who said "Hear my voice O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret council of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity." Psalm 64:1 & 2................. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord forever: for the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength; Isaiah 26:3,4...............
Let Us Pray To Our God: For when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. I Thessalonians 5:3......... Below is a rendering of the air bombing of the twin towers in New York on 911 - drawn by David Flagg (Memphis, TN): The drawing is depicting Jesus Christ as descending to the
who had met Jesus Christ as their personal savior before they met with their tragic end at ground zero.
