Yesterday’s Martin Luther King holiday was a time for reflection. Just as Dr. King frequently reflected upon scripture as he shepherded the civil rights movement, it would be appropriate to use a gospel message to reflect upon him and his mission.
During the afternoon yesterday, I found a prayer service preaching I had done in February, 2000 — Black History Month. At that time, I was still a student at Aquinas Institute of Theology working on an M.A. in pastoral studies.
