Spiritual Enhancement
Bishop Paul S. Morton spending time with Editor-in-Chief Tracey Harris
GTA: Tell us about the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship and what’s going on at the church? Bishop: First of all we are grateful for the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship It was something God gave to me early in the 90’s. What happened is in 1990, I began to transition our church from a traditional Baptist church to Full Gospel – when we talk about Full Gospel it’s more of a Pentecostal Baptist or a charismatic Baptist. But what we were endeavoring to do is bridge the gap between Baptist and Pentecostals because those were...

(Written by: Kimberly C. Kisner) Do you ever wonder what the weather is going to be like for the week? If you are like me, you probably access weather.com to get the daily weather updates. While I was looking on weather.com, it dawned on me that it would be nice if we could go to our own personal Web site to see the future forecast for our lives? This Web site would be able to tell us what we could expect on that particular day. Currently, in my jobless situation, I wish I could access that type of Web site so that I would know when I’m...
read moreIs the Church Diminishing today?
There once was a time when we could find a church on every corner. Whether it was in a storefront building or under a tent on an open field, churches were alive and well. Church for many was defined as a building where believers would gather to worship the Lord. Moreover, it was the place where God’s presence dwelt. For some, church is the “ecclesia,” a governmental assembly or general assembly, consisting of a Christian body of people. It mattered not the name it bared – temple, sanctuary, tabernacle or cathedral, but it was known...

I recall watching a young boy walk alone in a crowd of almost 1,000 worshipers, taking deliberate steps to reach the front of the sanctuary during the “invitation to discipleship” at church one Sunday. I thought he was coming to the front to stand with a parent or other family members. However, he came and stood alone. He appeared to be about eight years old. A few seconds later, his mother came forward and joined him. During the initial affirmation with the Pastor, this young boy was asked to share what was on his heart, as others had...

A visual speaking experience. What exactly is that? Glad you asked. Imagine an Olympics sprinter coming out of the starting blocks on a track. Add to that a corporate motivational speaker, armed with a microphone, whose rapid fire oratorical power is second only to her sprinting moves across the aisles where her audience is seated. “This is no cakewalk,” said McCloud, whose work is renown internationally. “I spend hours reading and studying to prepare for upcoming engagements. It may take me two weeks to find one sentence.” The end...

Michael Whitaker Smith was born October 7, 1957 to Paul and Barbara Smith in Kenova, West Virginia. A sister named Kim would follow. Michael was a typical boy – active in baseball, his family’s church activities, and playing piano. But in not-so-typical fashion, he wrote his first song at age five. At the age of ten, he made a decision to give his life to Christ. He dreamed of playing professional baseball. Michael attended college at Marshall University in West Virginia but after one semester dropped out to move to Nashville and...
read moreA Living Legend…The Reverend Dr. Joseph E. Lowery
TH: Tell us about your experience as it relates to the civil rights JL: I never considered myself going into the civil rights movement. I was going into my ministry. And ministry is a holistic approach to life. I think the Gospel speaks to the totality of life – the social, political, economic, business, educational, personal, public, everything. God looks at the totality of life. So I saw my ministry as not only trying to help make heaven their home but to make their homes here heaven. And that took in what I call Civil Rights. ...
