Bishop Carroll Johnson of Lifevision Church Orlando discusses the mandate of our community to start providing for ourselves, using Bible Scripture to prove his point. Bishop Carroll Johnson has been a leader and advocate for self improvement for several decades and in this series, he drives the point home.
We already know that no cavalry on horseback is riding down the hill to save us, right? Our politicians are fighting the good fight, but we are still losing.
We are losing the fight for fair housing. We lose when we try to fight for justice. We are not receiving equal income for equal abilities and we are losing badly in our pursuit of happiness.
As a pastor in our community, you know this better than most, don’t you? Maybe, if we build our own economic system, we could start to win, right?

"I'm so concerned with those who say so much about what God says so little while saying so little about what God says so much" Rev Dr William J. Barber, II
I don't know for sure, but can safely assume from the full content of his speech that Dr Barber & I may not share the exact same position on every predominate policy of our time. However, we do agree on the majority of what his speech is saying and calling out to our nation for!

During Sunday Worship Service this week, a Black church in Orlando took the daring position of announcing it’s endorsement of the ‘BootStrapping Project.’ The congregation was asked to take out their phones and log into a prerecorded 4 minute presentation.
Before worship service begin, the ushers added a page to each member's program with instructions on how to login to the online community announcement update site.

I CANNOT STAY SILENT on the issue. It's been something grieving my Spirit and today I must speak.
IN LIGHT OF:
- Kirk Franklin & Kelly Price's Appearance on Kanye West's new song 'Ultralightbeam,' Is this a God thing? Are Kirk & Kelly compromising? Is Kanye West really seeking to know the one true and living God?
- Preachers of Atlanta featuring those who bear the title PASTOR but who openly cuss and act in a very carnal manner using the reasoning of trying to reach lost people. Not ALL the cast does it but of course the focus in on those that do. Is it okay? Are they a disgrace to the church at large? Are they disrespecting God's holiness?
