White Religion

Shuttling between his Manhattan publishing office and his secluded cabin deep in the hills of his home state of West Virginia, the prolific Gray Barker single-handedly kept public interest focused on UFOs during it leanest years, and introduced many themes still discussed and investigated by today’s paranormal and conspiracy researchers: the Roswell UFO Crash, Men in Black, Ancient Aliens, Nazi UFOs, the Philadelphia Experiment, the Flatwoods Monster, Mothman, MJ-12, secret underground bases, little green men, and the Maury Island Incident.

So, you’ve probably heard that the Bible is “the white man’s religion”. Well, that’s not exactly true. It’s a blatantly false statement that has been embraced by uninformed people of all colors for far too long. The Bible is, in fact, an Afrocentric book and belief system, and I dare you to prove me wrong.

On Palm Sunday 1964, at the Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis, a group of black and white students began a "kneel-in" to protest the church's policy of segregation, a protest that would continue in one form or another for more than a year and eventually force the church to open its doors to black worshippers. In The Last Segregated Hour, Stephen Haynes tells the story of this dramatic yet little studied tactic which was the strategy of choice for bringing attention to segregationist policies in Southern churches.

With a gentle pastoral voice, author Tom White helps listeners who sometimes find it hard to experience God's love. As sincere Christians they know that God is love, but they're not receiving the love so clearly declared in the Bible. They try to do the right things, and believe the right things, in order to receive God’s love. But the experience of his love in life isn’t working out that way. They're unsure what they are doing wrong. Why is this so? Tom White provides a fresh Biblical perspective on the reality of God's love. He does not teach how to become a “better” believer.

On a hot and dusty December day in 1980, the bodies of four American women - three of them Catholic nuns - were pulled from a hastily dug grave in a field outside San Salvador. They had been murdered two nights before by the US-trained El Salvadoran military.

The women themselves became symbols and martyrs, shorn of context and background.

Walk in the footsteps of a king! King David is regarded as one of the Bible’s greatest heroes for one reason: he was a sold-out worshipper. Through all of his success, failures, and pain, David worshipped God with his whole heart. The first 30 Psalms provide a record of his prayers to God - a window into his prayers as he wrestled through every circumstance across the full spectrum of human emotion. David’s example is an important model for modern-day Christians, and his words in the Psalms provide powerful language we can use in our own journey.

If a person looked to Scripture and paid particular attention to the passages within the Bible that address the topic of hunting, then they'd walk away thinking not only is hunting animals tolerated but it is endorsed by God. And that's exactly what this little book is about: proving that God, from Genesis to Revelation, is extremely cool with hunters and hunting. I'll go out on a biblical limb and claim right off the bat that you cannot show me, through the balance of the Bible, that the God of the Scripture is against the responsible killing and the grilling of the animals He created.
