Sunday Sermon at Union Cathedral Bishop McCrae -"It Didn't Break Me"

I thank God for Technology. I am from South Georgia but now live in Richmond, Virginia and the church I attended does live stream of the Sunday Service and Bible Study on Wednesday. Our pastor is Bishop Wade McCrae. Today he preached a sermon called, "It Didn't Break Me". In it King Nebuchadnezzar demands that 3 Hebrews bow down to his god an engraven image. Meshach, Shadrack, and Abednego did not bow and were thrown into the fire where they were not consumed. God protected them and Jesus walked in the fire with them.

This example of God's love and mercy is something we can see in our lives. Many times when I was lead astray I thought if only I would have stuck to the Bible teachings. God is love and he wants us to love others as we would love ourselves. Bishop McCrae preached The Problem they encountered and Their Purpose was exposed. He said that people would insinuate things about you Christians. We don't have to worry about the negative things that someone may say. We know the truth so don't let it get you down. Jesus is always there for us remember that during adversity and he will uplift your spirits and give you the means to walk through hardship.

During these times of the COvid-19 pandemic and Trump inciting and insurrection at the US Capitol we need God and his grace more than ever. When you are going thru the fire remember Bishop McCrae's sermon, "It didn't break me!!"

John Lewis a Civil Rights Icon Passes Away

John Lewis dedicated his life to service from civil rights to serving in the House for the state of Georgia since the 80's. During a time when their was a real struggle for civil rights in the Black Community, Lewis was a champion for the cause. He was a Freedom Rider and the last surviving member of the "Big Six" organizer and speaker at the March on Washington where Martin Luther King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Yesterday John Lewis's body was driven over the Edmund Pettus Bridge where "Bloody Sunday" happened when police attacked protesters 55 years ago who were marching to Selma, Alabama. John Lewis's life is a testimony of what Black America should aspire to. As a young man in the 60's he lived the civil rights struggle.

Officer not Charged in Jacob Blake Case

Back in August 2020, Jacob Black, a young Black man was shot in the back 7 times by a Police Officer. The police were there concerning a prior offense by Blake. Today, Jan 5., 2021 Michael Graveley the Kenosha, Wisconisn, District Attorney decided not to file charges against that police officer, whose name is Rusten Shesky. All this as reported in the New York TImes. How many times will a shooting like this happen before there is real change? The police need to be reformed but can they teach restraint in the heat of the moment? Officers are to protect and serve but they have a right to preserve there own life. However they do not have a right to shoot and kill or maim our Black men. Police need to do more to reach out to the Black community. To all communities. Its not good that your first real encounter with the police should be when you've may have done something wrong and you get arrested. I know first hand how hard police officers work. They work long hours with li
