Pastor  Parker and his “All Star Troupe,” from Campbell Chapel AME Church in Pulaski, TN, entertained and enlightened us with a play connecting the efforts of Harriet Tubman, who saved over 1,000 slaves via the underground railroad, with current efforts to save preborn babies from abortion. 

Pulaski is the birthplace of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). 

According to Pastor Parker, Planned Parenthood kills more black Americans in three days than the KKK did in its entire history.  He said blacks comprise only 13% of the population yet one of every three babies killed through abortion is black.

Pastor Parker is among a group of pastors who have been seeking to bring the issue of abortion before the AME Council of Bishops.  AME is the largest black church in the world.  Permission was recently been granted.

Salvations –

Jo Scott visited with neighborhood children playing in the vicinity of our host church.  She showed them her abortion education book and later was able to lead four children to the Lord.

Solemn Assembly-

Curtis Fenison led off the Solemn Assembly with the blowing of the Shofar.  The church of Jesus Christ came, with our faces low to the ground, in repentance for failing to stop the shedding of innocent blood. Our souls were mortified when the Rev. Flip Benham read from Isaiah 1:15.  “When you raise your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you.  Your hands are covered in blood.”

We are guilty of the charges brought against us, voiced by our pastors and elders: apathy and a compromising spirit, promoting religion while failing to have relationship with Christ. 

Our Christian men are losing moral authority as they lose the battle against lust. 

We no longer fear God and yet, Bro. David Lackey reminded us, “We go from fear-to-fear-to-fear in our lives, rather than to faith in God.”

We have behaved selfishly. Pastor Ronny Wallace encouraged us to prepare for our children.  “Two generations will suffer if selfishness allows us to squander our child’s inheritance.”

We have failed to follow the laws and statutes of the Lord.  “Teach me O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end.  Give me understanding and I shall keep your law; indeed I shall observe it with my whole heart.” (Ps 119:33-34.)

Having confessed our sins and repented of them, we are prepared for the joy that comes from the Lord when we begin to stand for Him.
