Pastor Bruce Merriweather
”Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” — 2 Cor. 1:3-4
Pastor Bruce Merriweather is a man equipped by God to minister to His people. Like our Lord, he is acquainted with grief, having recently lost his step-son to the war in Afghanistan. Like Paul, he has endured debilitating physical pain that might sideline many a would-be worker in the Lord’s vineyard. However, like them He also counts “the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” (Rom. 8:18) He presses on in his efforts to reach the lost and teach the saved.

WILL WE SUCCUMB TO THE STRAIN -OR- WILL WE SURVIVE BY THE TRUTH?
There is a question on the horizon and the question is: Will we succumb to the strains of humanity or will we survive by the truth?
I believe: We as a people must survive the strains and the vicissitudes of life.
For more than 400 years our pleas for justice, freedom, equity, a decent place to live have fallen on the ears of our hateful enemy.
The Biblical record says that we would be in bondage in a strange land. That we would be treated like we are less than a people without a heritage. Our cries for justice and rights like any other human being have gone unheard long enough!
Therefore I say: We will not succumb to the strains of prejudice, racial hatred, bigotry or even a less-than treatment anymore.
Because by the same Divine Truth that began our very existence, is the same truth that we will survive by.
Because we realize now, the truth helps us to seek solutions to our conditions. The truth reveals the answer to the mental, the economical, educational and spiritual enslavement. Because we understand now that the God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; along with our fore parents who helped build this home of the brave and land of the free; that we are a people of power of unity, one mind, one love and one spirit!
Therefore we will not succumb to the strains of humanity.
- Because mercy and truth have met together...
- Because righteousness and peace have kissed each of our lives...
Therefore we will survive by the truth!
By His Grace,

You have had some great moments in your life haven't you? Of course you have! You might not have been very excited when you were born, but there was some excitement the moment you were born, guaranteed. You can change the outlook of someone else who perhaps feels like, they have had no great moments in their life. How, you ask? Simply with a few words. When we discover the "why" we were born, that purpose ought to be shared for the good of humanity. We are all born for a reason, and it's our personal responsibility to "discover or re-discover that reason why." Help someone today find their great assigning moment. Because you and I, are here to make great moments better all over this world...
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.""
