In these exposĆ©s the reader will come to understand how and why ā€œNew Age Capitalism, New Age Corporations and New Age Thinkingā€ will give Black people the organized legal systems to empower ourselves. There is no real societal growth and development without viable and sustainable socioeconomic systems that can be passed on to future generations. Far too many Black Americans mistakenly believe Whites and others will take care of us while we sit back and do little or nothing to take care of ourselves.

Words of Wisdom for Everyday Christian Living

Words of Wisdom for Everyday Christian Living by Dr. James E. Thompson, D.D.

A man of great faith with a compassionate heart for Godā€™s people, Dr. James Thompson, D.D., was born on September 24, 1939, during a very dark period in our countryā€™s segregated history in the Deep South. He was born in a small country town called Mifflin and later grew up on a sharecropperā€™s farm in Luray, Tennessee. It was during those years, he learned some of the most valuable lessons about the purpose, the presence, and the peace of God in his life. In spite of the many personal challenges and unimaginable experiences faced as an individual who was deeply motivated to preach the gospel of Christ early in life, he learned to apply the inspired word and the lessons shared in this book to successfully rise above the challenges faced by Godā€™s grace and mercy.

Words of Wisdom for Everyday Christian Living is the first volume of these spiritually inspired messages and quotes compiled originally in his daily text ministry. The book is designed to help those who are facing both internal and external challenges in their lives become more reliant on the word and the wisdom of Godā€™s message to and for mankind.

This book can be used as an inspirational resource for teenagers, adults, senior citizens, parents, spouses, grandparents, professionals, business owners, believers, non believers, and religious leaders. Wherever you are in life, Dr. Thompson wants you to know you do not have to face your trials, tribulations, and struggles alone.

After 70 combined years of local, national, and international pulpit ministry, radio ministry, prison ministry, and mission work, he dedicated the rest of his life to helping others embrace the joys found in living a promised life found in Jesus Christ. The sentiments of his thankful heart can be summarized in the words pinned by Alma Androzzo and song by Mahalia Jackson as listed below:

ā€œIf I can help somebody, as I travel along
If I can help somebody, with a word or song
If I can help somebody, from doing wrong
then my living shall not be in vainā€¦

The Revelation of Jesus Christ: The Awesome Untold Story

About the book:

Now seems to be the time when we need to know about end time events.

Jesus said, ā€œUnto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to them
that are without, all these things are done in parables. Mark 4:11

Perhaps that is why God has chosen to write the book of Revelation with so much symbolism, and yet to us who believe in Jesus as our personal Savior, it is given to know the mysteries of God, but not without faithful study of His word.

This study of Revelation is designed to de-code much of the symbolism by using related Old and New Testament scriptures.

The prophet Daniel was told to shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many shall run to and from, and knowledge shall be increased. Daniel 12: 4

Itā€™s easy to see that Danielā€™s prophecy is our reality. We are living in a time of modern methods of transportation and state of the art technical advancements, and yet these are perilous times of uncertainty and rapid change.

God is not only the God of eternity; He is also the God of time. By His design, some things are hidden until He is ready to reveal them. Now seems to be the time when we need to know about the mysteries of God concerning end time events.
