Very busy day. I hope everyone is doing well that reads this. Today in honor of Dr. King I will be posting two of his speeches.
Have a Blessed Week,

Dr. Martin Luther King
Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2021
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was an amazing man. Every time I have heard him speak in videos he gives me goosebumps. I have to admit I do not know enough about this man. But he was a true a hero and treasure to America and to the Kingdom of God.
Here are a few quotes from the great Dr. King I saw on an article (I will post the link to the full list of quotes below)…
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
“Always be sure that you struggle with Christian methods and Christian weapons. Never succumb to the temptation of becoming bitter. As you press on for justice, be sure to move with dignity and discipline, using only the weapon of love.”
“It may well be that we will have to repent in this generation. Not merely for the vitriolic words and the violent actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence and indifference of the good people who sit around and say, “Wait on time.”
“In your struggle for justice, let your oppressor know that you are not attempting to defeat or humiliate him, or even to pay him back for injustices that he has heaped upon you. Let him know that you are merely seeking justice for him as well as yourself.”
“In the midst of outer dangers I have felt an inner calm and known resources of strength that only God could give. In many instances I have felt the power of God transforming the fatigue of despair into the buoyancy of hope.”
Have a Blessed Week,
Christopher
