Female Baptist Preachers

-

 Recently the Southern Baptists had a convention where their members voted to ban two churches that had female preachers. I believe that there is nothing wrong with a woman being a preacher. Long ago women did not have the same rights as men. Times have changed and of course they are our equals. So what is the problem? What do they fear? Not so long ago, African Americans did not have the same rights as White Americans. Even after slavery and Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Image if today our people were barred from being preachers. Yes I am a Baptist and yes I believe women have the God given rights to preach the word. If you look at a lot of churches, they have more women than men anyway.

Worship Him no matter the circumstance

There is no valley too deep for Jesus to reach. Call out to Him and he will comfort you. Believe in Him, and he will replenish you. Fall on your knees and worship Him, and He will lift you up. In life we make mistakes. Some are worse than others. The key to getting past it is not to dwell on it. There's an old adage, "One day at a time." How much can you get done in one day?  Setting daily goals chops your major ones into sizable proportions.  I am doing this blog to encourage others and to motivate myself.  When I go back and read some of my posts, I marvel at what I wrote.  My own words inspire and motivate me. I'm not trying to get the big head and puff myself up but to accomplish the goal of witnessing for Christ. The Great Commission Matthew 28:16  Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.   17  When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.   18  Then Jesus came to them and said,  “All authority in heav

Welcome to The Promise Online Baptist Church

Hello, My name is Brother Derrick W. Jackson and I am ecstatic and proud to show you my social media church / Online Church.  I am a new teacher of the word(Please note I have not been ordained nor do I have a minister's license but I have answered the call to spread the word) I am not new to the church and worshipping Jesus Christ.  I'm his human clay that he is molding every day, in other words I'm not perfect and have made a lot of mistakes that I do not want others to repeat. As the fires burn in California we pray for the victims.  Life shows us all the time that we are not always in control and bad things happen to good people.  A lot of times we scream out, "WHY GOD!!!!"  Several months ago I broke down on Labernum Avenue in Richmond, Virginia screaming, "He plays games with peoples lives!!"  God is not like man and remember he loves you unconditionally. And life does not turn out as we expect it but we know  "his will be done".

Kirk Franklin - Brokenhearted (Reprise)

Listen to the words Kirk Franklin speaks in this song carefully. I believe we have to repent on a regular basis even if we are saved. Today's Bible Study was God Demands Repentance. This is so true. Pastor Sherman who taught the lesson said that if we were perfect we would not need good. And I know he means we need God / Jesus every day of our lives. I have been slow to act. I started this blog back in 2018 and I wish I would have worked hard on it every day since then. I ask Jesus to forgive me for not putting Him first and not doing what I was called to do, which is to create an online site where people can come together as Christians and uplift Christ.
