Jesus Taught People If They Want To See God Work in New Ways They Must Be Willing To Do New Things

henry nelSon

Hebrews 11:1 “Faith is the evidence of things not seen, the assurance of things hoped for”

F

aith believes that God’s Will done in God’s way will not lack God’s provisions. A missionary who started the “China Inland Mission” saw by 1949 1 million Chinese turn to faith in Christ. Today there are more than 100 million Christians in China as it has become the fastest growing nation in history.

Jesus knew that faith and obedience must be expressed in new actions for maturing believers. When the Jesus invited Peter to walk on the water He said in Mathew 14: 29-31, "Come." Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and beginning to

sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" Jesus said, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?" Amen! Often new experiences require a higher level of faith and obedience.

Let the Lord show you greater things as you express a new willingness to venture into the uncharted waters of relationships, ministries and obedience. Faith and works should travel side by side, step answering to step, like the legs of men walking. First faith, and then works; and then faith again, and then works again until they can scarcely distinguish which is the one and which is the other.

Jesus honored people who risked shame, frustration and disappointment in coming to Him by faith. In Matthew 15:2228 a Canaanite woman came crying to Jesus, "Lord, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demonpossession. The disciples said, ’Send her away’. They came and knelt before Jesus and said, "Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.’ Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted. And her daughter was healed was healed from that

very hour." Amen! Be willing to risk in order to see God work great things for you and your people. God our Father has made all things depend on faith so that whoever has faith will have everything, and whoever does not have faith will have nothing.

Jesus knew that people who are not willing to change risk losing everything. A rich young ruler came to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?" Jesus answered, in Matthew 19:16, 21 "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor.

And you will have treasure in heaven.

Then come, follow Me." When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth." Do not let your unwillingness to change cheat you out of the great things God wants to do in and through your life. Amen!

Jesus remembered how His Father in heaven told Abram, in Genesis, 12:12 “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing." Amen! The Lord realized that all peo-

CongraTulaTionS To eliTe newS and dr. bill blair on The 25Th anniverSary of The eliTe newS MlK Parade

ple are tempted to stay with what is familiar and secure, but God calls them to greater places throughout life.

Ask the Lord to help you to be more like Abraham who staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but who grew strong in faith being fully persuaded that what God promised, He was able to deliver.

In another life one night I was working as an emergency technician when a house caught fire and a young boy was forced to flee to the roof. There I stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to this boy, "Jump! I will catch you."

I knew the boy had to jump to save his life. All the boy could see, however, was flame, smoke, and blackness. As you can imagine, he was afraid to leave the roof. I kept yelling: "Jump! I will catch you." But the boy protested, "Sir I cannot see you."

I replied, "But I can see you and that is all that matters." Of course the boy was saved after he jumped into my arms.

or some of our readers it is hard to believe that this Parade started nearly 25 years ago! But, our Founder and Senior Publisher, Dr. William Blair will tell you, “Once a task is begun, never leave it until it’s done.

Be the task great or small, do it well or not at all.”

He began this task almost 25 years ago, and every year he has performed this task better than the year before. This year is no different.

As a matter of fact, dr. williaM this year, the man “bill” blair who started the Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade will be handling the Grand Marshal duties.

You all know him. He’s our very own Founder and Senior Publisher, Dr. William “Bill” Blair. More than 60 years

ago, he traded his Negro Leagues baseball uniform for a publisher’s pen and started The Elite News. He will start the Parade off with a VIP breakfast, (by invitation only), where Dr. Blair will serve as host. Afterwards, he will lead an entourage of ladies and gentlemen who have agreed to serve as Parade Marshals 1.6 miles down MLK Drive, past more than 200,000 spectators and vendors directly onto the grounds of the State Fair. This year, Dr. Blair has invited Dallas’ top lawman to join him as a Parade Marshal.

Advice Column: Ask Karen Hollie The Gift of True Forgiveness

I

t's hard to b e l i e v e Christmas has past. Yes, as the song says: "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" It really is wonderful! We were flooded with Christmas m u s i c , Christmas lights, and lots geraldine of Christmas davidSon-hooKer "activities." And although the Christmas "fluff" is often distracting, most of us are able to see through the bells and bows. In spite of the world's attempt to pull us away, we generally make time to gather with family and friends and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.

But many found this time of year to be very painful. The memories of past hurt, which remain hidden throughout the year, are now driven to the surface.

Many are required to face someone who has caused them pain, or face the memory of a past Christmas which brings the person (and pain) back into view.

Obviously, this is not the turmoil which God intends for our life...especially not as we celebrated the birth of His Son. Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

We cannot properly celebrate the birth of Jesus without reflecting on why He was born. Through His life He offered us a message of eternal hope, and through His death on the cross He offered us the complete forgiveness of sin. With this single act of unbelievable love, Jesus removed the sin which would otherwise keep us eternally separated from our Heavenly Father. This is the manner in which we are to love and forgive others.

Jesus told a parable about a servant who had an enormous debt canceled: "The servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, 'and I will pay back everything.' The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go" (Matthew 18:26-27). But when the servant went away, he refused to cancel the relatively minor debt a fellow servant owed him; "Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt" (Matthew 18:30).

During this most wonderful time of the year, let's reflect on the awesome gift we have been given through our Savior. Then, let's give to others as we have already received. Let's love and give the gift of true forgiveness.

ast week I gave you the three steps to victory; the same that Moses gave to Israel, and they are 1. Fear not, 2.

Stand still, 3. see the salvation of the Lord. Yet after seeing the salvation of the Lord, we are tempted to compromise with the one who seek to destroy us.

Pharaoh didn’t want Israel to leave Egypt; therefore he proposed three compromises, which PaSTor ClarenCe are similar to those urged henderSon upon Christians today. Pharaoh was an example of Satan and Egypt was a place of sin. Exodus 8:25, Pharaoh said to Moses and Aaron “Go and sacrifice to God, but do it in the land of Egypt”. In effect “Be a Christian if you will, but don’t be a narrow one”. Satan wants us to claim Christianity, but don’t be a serious one. “Be a Christian, but stay in the world and do your own thing. But, the Bible says “Come out from among them and be separated”, 2 Corinthians 6:17.

His name wasn't Martin Luther King-Confusing!

According to all accounts, the name on Martin Luther King's birth certificate is Michael and there is no evidence that he changed it. He didn't pick the name Martin Luther out of the air, however. It was the name his father used and claimed to have given to his son. According to Africana.com, Martin Luther King, Sr. said that his son's given name was Martin Luther but that the doctor who delivered him put "Michael" on the birth certificate, something he didn't know until much later.

Until adulthood, Martin Luther King, Jr. was known as "M.L." or "Michael."

BarBerShOP talk with leON SimON

T

he NFL’s regular season is over.

There will be a lot of coaches out of jobs conversely there will be the same amount hired. Prior to the Rooney rule the owners usually would re-cycle a leon SiMon group of about ten coaches. I think back in the day the Houston Oilers hired Wally Lem twice.

The Rooney rule made them interview at least one minority. We don’t have the same pool of coaches to choose from.

There are still a few names that pop up regardless the job. Jon Gruden, Bill Cowher, etc. you know the rest of them.

They demand high salaries total control, and a guaranteed contract. The collective bargaining agreement is up this year.

There’s a great possibility that there will be a work stoppage. The sticking point will probably be the addition of 2 regular season games.

How much additional money those 2 games will cost in salaries and additional players? There will be casualties. Not just football but all major sports.

I thought when the Texas Rangers signed Alex Rodriguez, to the tune of about a quarter of a billion dollars that would be the beginning of the end for the position we know as General Manager, and the end of these coaches that think they’ll have total control.

In professional sports you have owners

Janurary 14, 2010

that own everything. Cars to Skyscrapers. A lot of these guys are financial geniuses.

They use money like playing Monopoly.

High finance is their game.

I said their game, yet I get a feeling that there are some people out there that think these financial geniuses are going to turn all this over to a football coach that might have a degree and might not. That worked when players were making $50,000 a year now they’re making that per down in some cases. When salaries are anything else, they get into the twenty million dollar area no one man will make those type decisions.

They don’t do it in any business on this planet. When you’re talking one hundred million dollar contracts, do you think some owner is going to give that to a coach that needs someone to keep up with his timeouts, and has to have an agent to negotiate his own contract?

Bill Cosby reportedly told Oprah Winfrey to sign your own checks. But sports fans are naïve enough to think these business tycoons are going to let a coach that’s not even the best in his own profession sit down and negotiate a contract that would lock an owner in to a deal with a player worth $100million?

The owner of the Redskins signed Albert Hainsworth to a $100 million dollar contract. The owner of the Tennessee Titans made a decision on Vince Young. I have yet to see a Coach or General Manager who is qualified to spend $100million dollars of someone else’s money, or should I say I have yet to see an owner that stupid.

Baptist Church choir rendered selections. The spoken word was given by Dr. Ross C. Cullins, Sr. Dr. Cullins chose

dr. roSS C. CullinS, Sr. as his subject: Overcoming the Challenges of Freedom.

Dr. Cullins recounted the struggles we as AfricanAmericans have faced since the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Over 148 years ago, President Lincoln freed the slaves. Our freedom back

then was from chains and servitude, but it left us mentally and emotionally enslaved. There is no slavery worse than slavery of the mind.

When you are mentally enslaved, you become devalued as an individual.

The only way to overcome mental slavery is to give your heart and mind to God. Dr. Cullins was called to preach the gospel in 1970.

He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bishop College in 1973. In 1994, he earned a Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and in 1998, he earned a Doctor of Ministry from Houston Graduate School of Theology in Houston, Texas. Dr. Cullins serves as the Senior Pastor of the Solid Rock Baptist Church in Humble, Texas where he has served for 24 years.

25th Annual Elite News Parade and Festival… We’ll See You There!... CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 Marshal duties?!

Bishop Henry M. Williamson, Sr. who now serves as Presiding Prelate of the Eighth Episcopal District, comprising five regions throughout the henry williaMSon State of Texas and over 200 churches. He is new to the city of Dallas, and we thought we’d show him a little Texas hospitality by inviting to serve as an MLK Parade Marshal.

He hails from Baltimore Maryland, but today you can hear him live on 97.9 The Beat mixing the hottest music and keeping you informed on the new dish. His show Blast Off Radio airs in LubdJ M Squared bock, Texas on 104.9 The Beat in Waco, Texas 104.9 The Beat, and 101.1 The Beat in Bryan, TX. Is he gonna be mixing it up at the Festival?

The CEO of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Clinic, Joyce Tapley is another one of our Parade Marshals for this year’s parade. She directs and manages the operations of the medical and dental JoyCe TaPley center.

More specifically, Ms. Tapley’s group is responsible for providing primary and preventive medical, dental and behavioral care to residents of Dallas County.

Her focus is to ensure that high quality health services are provided to those who normally do not have access to affordable health care. How fitting is it that the woman who is responsible for the day to day operations of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Clinic serves as a Parade Marshal at the 25th Anniversary of the MLK Parade!

Cowboys legend Drew Pearson. In 1973, Pearson was selected as a free agent by the Dallas Cowboys, where he rose to become one of the NFL’s greatest wide receivers, earning career records of 489 receptions and 7,822 receiving yards, along with 189 rushing yards, 155 yards returning kickoffs, and 50 touchdowns. And who could ever forget the “Hail Mary” pass from NFL Hall of Fame Quarterback Roger Staubach, that faithful day on December 28th 1975 in an NFL Playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings with less 30 seconds left in the game.

Roger Staubach a devout Roman Catholic uttered the words, “Hail Mary” and the rest as they say is history. In an interview with Pearson following the game, he said he thought he had dropped the ball only to find it on his hip! I don’t know where you were on that faithful day, but I remember it as though, it was yesterday and you can best believe I am going to be asking for an autograph and taking advantage of all the photo ops I can get!

This year’s parade will mark the 25th year since Dr. Blair and the Elite News made a commitment to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the dreamer and his dream! So, we’ll see you there!

Get there early, because you’ll want to have a good seat! And once the parade is over, join us at the Tower Building, located at 3809 Grand Avenue, on the grounds of the State Fair of Texas for some fun, food and entertainment.

There will be vendors from all over the state selling their wares and trust me there will be something for everybody!

The program begins its third year of service this week and offers free tax help to individuals and families who made less than $50,000 in 2010.

“It’s a program that helps you — not one that charges you $500 just to do your taxes,” King says.

“I see Miss Houston as a blessing to my life,” says King. “She gave me all my paperwork, really helped me and didn’t try to take my money.”

This year, Houston will be a volunteer tax preparer for the third consecutive year.

She says, “It’s rewarding when you can help someone with their taxes. I like to put people at ease and help them relax. And when they see the bottom-line figure, that brings a light to their faces.”

Sen. West emphasizes the importance of giving hardworking families access to IRS-certified tax help without fees. "With the United Way service, people avoid the need for a payday lender and the high interest rates and fees that occur with the use of such services."

Making sure people learn about and claim the credits they deserve is part of the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas focus on financial stability, Godsey says. “Local experts have identified financial education as a key component of reaching the United 2020 community goal of moving 250,000 more people out of poverty permanently over 10 years.”

For her part, King says she’s telling friends and family members about the United Way free tax help program. “I told my grandmother about it and she’s going to try it this year. It’s never too late.”

Out of the Eyes of a Layman... continued from page 5 public schools, some of them are named after some person that we have never heard of, nor are they in our history books, because they are from the country they came from, plus that person just might have been against free education.

You do know every country does not have free education, as we know here in America. That’s why everybody want’s to come here. If that’s not enough, we import foreign teachers to teach in our public schools who cannot speak the language clearly, nor can they teach in this culture, because it is very different from their own. How can a teacher from another culture teach a White American child, or a Black American child? Yes they can, but not properly. We have American teachers with Master Degrees who cannot get a job. And on top of all this these imported teachers receive a big bonus just to come here.

This article is not written out of a prejudice standpoint, but a true fact.

There is no way I could write about this from a prejudice standpoint because I

Page 14

am a “BLACK” person, and I do not have to go into detail with that.

Now, last but not least, our country has set up bank loans for immigrants coming into this country. They can go to a bank and get a loan to set-up a business, no questions asked. We as citizens of this country have to go under the second degree just to apply for the same kind of loan, and still not get the loan.

Gas stations will not hire Americans, or put Americans over, or head-up a gas station. Out of every 100 gas stations, 80 of them are headed by middle easterners. If all of these people from over there where our troops are fighting right now would ignite their gas stations at the same time, they could demolish America in a matter of minutes. Anybody who will blow themselves up. What do you think they will do to you? They have proved that several times over. “America rushing toward becoming a 3rd world country.

We believe that by faith in his finished work at Calvary we are born again. We believe in water baptism by emersion, infilling of the Holy Spirit, living a sanctified life. We believe that the act of salvation is a onetime act by the Holy Spirit, that the process of sanctification is a life time experience. We believe that heaven is the final destination of all believers, that Hell is a real place reserved for those that reject the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Our Morning Message was delivered by our beloved Pastor Eld.L.T.Morgan from the subject “A bad experience on the road of life” Luke 10:25-35. Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan, Pastor used this story to show how Satan encounters everyone on the road of life and does to them what the thieves did to this man Jesus being our Good Samaritan come to us to give us back everything the enemy stole from us.

elcome to the weekend baaaby! Well here I sit, having failed to control my Christmas spending, holding a seriously emtpy wallet!

I wonder W.W. D. K. D..... "What Would Doctor King Do" if he were alive and in the same spot? I can Kevan browning use my imagination, seeing him pouring over the bills at the kitchen table..."Coretta, we are in the hole again with these Christmas bills" would boom from powerful lungs, full of righteous indignation! Then, after a few moment his face would relax into that special, warm smile he had, realizing that the more things change, the more they stay the same... next year I really am gonna control the Christmas spending...I really am,lol!!! I'd like to CoreTTa King salute the Blair Family for it's tireless efforts in our community. I'm so proud to be a part of the Elite News team and look forward to seeing you this Monday, 10AM at the MLK Parade over in Fair Park! The "People's Parade" is something we as a people can take pride in. Yes, it's a little hectic, but everybody gets to participate. That inclusiveness is what Dr. Kings message is all about...Congrats two two dynamic couples, Nelly/Ashanti and Malcolm Jamal Warner/Regina King! It's good to see people professing their love and you never know how it's gonna happen...My partner Bloodhound Benny reports Warner/King have been dating exclusivley for more that a year and have known each other since the 80's when he was on Cosby and she was on 227...Nelly and Ashanti are in love

, but say they will take their time before walking down the aisle! Yea for Aretha Franklin and Michael Douglas! Both Cancer patients recently underwent surgery and are recovering well. Aretha, who's at a Detroit casino recovering called the Wendy Williams Show with a big "How You Doin" and plans on heading the the beach as soon as possible. Douglas has gained 13 of the 32 pounds back he reportedly lost! I love GOOD News, but have to share the bad with you has well...This week marked the 1 year anniversary of the Haiti earthquakes and Haiti is still a mess. Wyclef Jean reports outbreaks of the deadly disease, Cholera, while more than a Million Haitians live in tents or remain homeless.

The success story for Internet sensation Ted Williams continues. Wiliiams whose homeless/pandhandling video has recieved almost 10 Million hits on YOUTUBE has decided with some expert help to check into rehab. Williams golden voice has led him from the mean streets of Columbus Ohio to national TV appearances, Kraft Macaroni commercials and various job offers from the NBA/NFL and others in less than a week...Williams and his daughter got into an altercation, as she accused him of drinking. Williams has been clean for the last 2.5 years from the drug/alchohol usage that rendered him homeless...It's good to see he has some real people support.... Good luck Ted Williams!

Happy Dr. King Holiday Weekend!

R U giving something back to someone, helping someone to move forward, or is it all a b o u t YOU...W.W.D.K. D.? That's somegeorge forMan thing to reflect on, particularly this weekend! Happy Birthday to YOU and Celebs this week: Joe Frazier is 66, Rod Stewart is 65, George Foreman is 61, Charo is 59, Todd"LL Cool J" Smith 42, and Pirates Of The Carribbean Star, Orlando Bloom is 33!
