I’m listening to Al Jackson, one of the greatest pastors I have ever known, talk about having a passion for biblical preaching. The takeaway: “You can’t live skim milk during the week and preach cream on Sunday.”
In 2022, during the midterms, it was widely reported that young people, among others, helped save American democracy. Now it feels like some are all-too willing to throw young people away. They do so at their own, and the country’s, peril.
a desperate activist tells Malcolm X that the situation is hopeless as there are too many powerful interests and too few to oppose them. Malcolm's response is as important today as it was then: "Never let your enemy tell you how many of you there are."
