Praise

main image
Praise is a poet's rhapsody, full of admiration for a guardian whose reckless love has saved their life/soul.
 
A symphony of voices singing Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord
 
Praise is a young child's prayer thanking the Lord at night before bed
It is the twirls and jumps of dancers and the bold expressions of mimes telling the story of deliverance
 
Praise is the joining of a congregation coming to celebrate their blessings and the release from tribulations
 
Praise is extending a hand to a sister in Christ pulling her out of her stupor, It's giving your brother the strength to carry on
To push forward and don't give up 
 
Praise is spreading love to those who are considered undesirable
 
Praise is calling out to God even when things are rough because while I breathe , I hope 
 
And I as long as I have breath in my body, I will glorify him in every way I can.
 
Declaring him the One and Only ruler of My Soul 
 
Because as Psalms 71:8 says:"My mouth is filled with your praise,
declaring your splendor all day long".
 
This is an original poem written by Ms. Demetria George on Saturday, August 3, 2019 for a special service at the Historic First Baptist Church.

Is This What Freedom Feels Like

main image

2 Chronicles 15:5-7 New King James Version (NKJV) - And in those times there was no peace to the one who went out, nor to the one who came in, but great turmoil was on all the inhabitants of the lands. So nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every adversity. But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”

We are all concerned about the safety and security of our children as they attend classes everyday at school. As parents, we pray that the world is safe and that freedom means that our children are free to attend class to get an education without fear of death, and so now we ask, is this what freedom feels like?
