The Christian Recorder Newspaper April 2023 Column
“Responding to a strange situation in life”
By: Dr. Michael C. Carson Full Columnist
 You are watching a dark blue star-lit sky with the camera panning down to where you are at in life and a voice (in a Rod Serling dialect) speaks: “Portrait of a person in a strange place in life. Things are not as they should be. Offered for your consideration you just might be traveling through your Twilight Zone.” Sometimes you will enter a situation that appears to have no rhyme or reason. You are trying to make sense out of the situation you are in but you cannot. You ask yourself: “How did I get into this situation and how will/should I exit this situation?”

THE TRUTH IS THE LIGHT
By: Reverend Dr. Charles R. Watkins, Jr., Columnist 
Based on Biblical Text:1John 3:18: My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. God speaking through the “love” disciple John, says to us, “My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue: but in deed and in truth.” Because John is so loving, his recorded words ring so sweet. What John is trying to teach us is really quite simple. He admonishes us that if we say we have truly been transformed by the blood of Christ, the evidence of our transformation should manifest itself in the way we treat our brothers and sisters. In other words, our transformed life ought to be a clear demonstration of love and compassion.

For Embattled TN Lawmakers, Liberal Faith Movements Were a Training Ground
By Jack Jenkins
 When Justin Jones marched toward the Tennessee Capitol building last week, he was flanked by so many people that cameras struggled to pick him out of the crowd. But as he approached the doors to the House chamber, the crowd thinned to just a few, as Jones linked arms with a local lawmaker and two faith leaders. One held a Bible. Another, the Rev. Ingrid McIntyre, was donned in a stole. Together, they sang the gospel spiritual “This Little Light of Mine.” Read More Here |
