MLK Jr. Day Devotion

Today is an important holiday for our country and the world. We stand at a time when many would tell you that Dr. King's dream has been attained, for tomorrow we install our first non-white President. This is a water shed moment but take some time and listen to or read the famous speech. Have we attained Dr. King's dreams? What if we replace the words Negro, slave, and black with Christian, brother, and all? Only one can emancipate, only one can set you free. Dr. King new this better than many. One of the most famous speeches in American and world history is dripping with evangelical sweat, and most Americans miss it. Dr. King's speech has more references to God and the Scriptures than to cultural oppression. Today, this moment in time, August 28, 1963, will be on the mind of many. It could be an evangelistic opportunity for you, me and our brothers across the country. I have a dream today, that black, white, yellow and purple will fall on their collective faces, lift their eyes to the throne of the true Emancipator.
