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!!"

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

Trump Speaks - Too Little To Late?

It's good that Trump made this speech to the country and for his base to know that violence is unacceptable. He did not apologize for what he did and said at that Jan. 6th rally but this is good to calm people down.

Securing the US Capitol

After the attack on the Capitol, efforts are underway to secure it for congress and for the Inauguration of Joe Biden. 1000s of Nation Guard members along with The Capitol and DC police have been called to provide security. Fencing have be put up around the Capitol and the national Mall. The National Mall wall will be closed so no one will be allowed there for the inauguration. The FBI is reviewing video, photos, and social media to track down people that participated at the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021. They claim to have received lots of tips that will help them find the perpetrators. Alerts have gone out to secure all 50 state capitols because of alleged planned attacks on them. Trump recently gave a speech saying that people that do violence and vandalism are not his followers. He basically called for calm during the speech. He did not apologize for the remarks he made at the January 6th rally which incited the insurrection.
