A Snippet from my New Book

It was suggested that I give you a taste of the book, so here are a few words.....from Chapter 1....
1.Miracles of Jesus: Born of a virgin
(Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-38)
Application for Community Building:
Within each community lies the future and the purpose of that community and it is housed within the heart and spirit of each child. If we are going to have strong communities we must have strong children. Unfortunately, within many of our urban communities, this is not the case.
In this miracle, the birth of the Christ child, we see that God was orchestrating the entire process. Not only did God choose the vessel which would present the savior of the world, but He did it in such a way as to respect the customs of that day.
When we are in the process of building community, we must first know what we are dealing with and once we assess the potential of that community we then must seek out the people that will carry the dream or vision of that community to full term. This means that not everyone who claims to be for the community is actually for the community. God specifically chose Mary and Joseph because of both their history and their future. And in choosing leaders to build our communities we must do the same.
Mary was pure and undefiled, leaders must be dedicated and devoted to the purpose and promise of any given community.
Mary was obedient, leaders must be willing to serve as well as be served. In this day and age, with so many so-called leaders “pimping” our community, we need leaders that are servants first. They must be willing to get dirty with those that they are trying to lead and basically lead by example. As the story goes and as we will see in other miracles involving Mary she was the quiet leader who knew her son and knew what He was purposed to do. Leaders must be clear on purpose, promise and process in order to build the community properly.

God bless.
