Join the March

February is National Black History Month and is a good time to look back at a great moment in our nation's history. What I refer to is Rev. Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speach. Powerful stuff! Wouldn't it be nice to sit in front of him Sunday after Sunday and hear the word of God. What I love about his messages is how he makes scripture come alive for today. You get the sense that God is moving and there are people moving along with God. Of all the gifts of the Civil Rights movement, the one that jumps out loud and clear to me is the power the churches have to transform society when they are a part of God's march through history. I think we are in a time of change as great, or greater, than the change of Rev. Martin Luther King's time. In fact, I believe that we are in a time of change as great, or greater, than the time of that great African-American's namesake, the reformer Martin Luther. I believe that we are in such a great time of change and God is on the move, inviting and calling us all to march for the transformation of our society. The only question we are left with is "Will you march?"
