teacher white black
So one of the things that happened with integration in the South is they found that the black teachers were much more educated than the white teachers.
rights people focus
I came out of the Civil Rights Movement, and I had a different kind of focus than most people who have just the academic background as their primary training experience
school festivals graduates
I started graduate school in 1971, I started working at the Smithsonian in the festival in 1972. I went full-time at the Smithsonian in 1974. And I got my doctorate in 1975.
voice jail movement
The voice I have now, I got the first time I sang in a movement meeting, after I got out of jail... and I'd never heard it before in my life.
voice devil complaining
Complaining proves nothing but that you can hear the voice of the Devil
christian religious church
Any revelation from God's Word that does not lead us to an encounter with God only serves to make us more religious. The Church cannot afford 'form without power,' for it creates Christians without purpose.
thinking deception deceived
Those who think their intellect will keep them from deception are already deceived.
jesus war father
Automatically thinking ‘everything that happens is God’s will’ is a lazy way to live. We live in a war. Jesus wasn’t fighting the Father’s will when He raised the dead.
perfectly-good water thieves
Fear is a thief. It robbed Peter of a perfectly good walk on water, & kept the other eleven in the boat.
jesus names promise
I could not limit my values and pursuits to what makes others comfortable. Being possessed by a promise I live without options. I will spend the rest of my life exploring what could happen through the life of one who is willing to cultivate the God-given appetite to see impossibilities bow to the name of Jesus.
identity intimacy royalty
Royalty is my identity. Servanthood is my assignment. Intimacy with God is my life source.
knowing church mediocrity
I cannot live in mediocrity, content with merely knowing that there is more of God to experience and explore -and then do nothing about it. Truths that are not experienced are, in effect, more like theories than truths. Whenever God reveals truth to us He is inviting us into a divine encounter.
character giving levels
In His mercy, God gives us the level of revelation that our character is prepared to handle.
jesus father opposites
Don’t be impressed by darkness. Jesus didn’t do the opposite of whatever the devil did. He did what He saw the Father doing… The moment I have a lesser sense of Him and a greater sense of the problem, I will live in reaction to the problem.
