Rosa Parks

Here is a thought I have not heard about Rosa Parks. i.e. her peaceful resistance resembled the peaceful mission of the apostles from the Bible. The church could use more agents who peacefully take stands for God though the world is against it.

Reggie White-Preacher/NFL Player

In today's post, RHEMA takes time to celebrate a great preacher - Reggie White, who went home to be with the God on yesterday.
The world knew him as a great football player and he was recognized as one of the greatest. Yet, to read in one of the articles posted on RHEMA site today that this great football player did the following excerpt from the article in the Philadelphia Inquirer (http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/nation/10505208.htm?1c) :
"But perhaps equally notable was White's very public Christianity. He made it a part of his game, rushing opponents with a shout of "Jesus is coming!" He knelt for postgame prayers on the field. He refused awards such as "player of the week" because many were sponsored by breweries and he disapproved of alcohol. He counseled fellow players and cofounded Christian Athletes United for Spiritual Empowerment.
"What made Reggie White effective on the field and off the field was his relationship with God and his willingness to express it openly and to live it openly every day," said former Mayor Wilson Goode, who knew White during his Eagles days. "He should be remembered as a man of God who was an outstanding football player and an outstanding servant to humankind."
Off the field, White used his football celebrity and earnings to advance his Christianity and once noted that "celebrity is nothing but a platform." During his Eagles days, he often traveled to North Philadelphia, where he preached clean living and God-loving.
"Reggie was perhaps the purest preacher that I've ever met," Lusk said. "When he walked in, people would see this big guy, and they'd expect him to be vivacious and vociferous and very intense, and he would capture them because he was the complete opposite. He would talk and teach in a low kind of a tone, in a way that you had to listen."
Compare this to the media attention from other star athletes, Reggie White set a standard that all athletes should follow. It is good when the mike is placed in front of the athlete to "Thank God" but is better to let the world see how you honor God off the court or the field like Reggie White.

Newspapers used to distribute Bibles

For RHEMA's website (www.RHEMAmedia.net), today's top story is on the Bible Society using a major newspaper on the west coast of the United States to distribute New Testaments copies of the Bible.
Of course, from RHEMA Media point of view, the effort is to be applauded. However, some citizens of other beliefs found it offensive.
