Getting back in stride...

My apologies for my absenteeism the past couple of weeks! I had a few personal things and work items to conspire to throw me off track. First let me say to those who have been praying, my Mom is doing much better now and we think the Lord has brought her out of some scary episodes which we now know were hypoglycemic attacks. Those who are diabetics will know how scary these can be. Anyhow, your prayers are greatly appreciated, and please continue to pray that she will follow her doctor's guidance, eat and rest well, and continue to allow the Lord to use her for the glory of his great name!

Lord willing, I will continue the posting series on Reformation in the African American Church this week, after I make a brief statement about the significance of Barak Obama's success to a strategy for achievement in the black community. After the posts on Reformation, I'd like to begin a series of posts on the doctrine of "endurance" and the warning passages in scripture, using Schreiner's and Canneday's excellent book "The Race Set Before Us" as a guide.

Hopefully the post above on uncontacted people groups and the necessity of evangelization will help stir us to an increasing desire for doctrinal clarity on our core beliefs.

Keep fighting for Christ's glory in your life!
