Today there is a cry rising to God from the Blind Bartimaeus's all across our nation. These individuals are lost in their sin, groping in the dark and seeking for an answer to help restore their sight. The church as a whole is deafened to their cry. We are guilty of allowing our love to wax cold in that we are no longer motivated to go into the highways and hedges to look for the lost. We have become political correct in our dealings with the spiritual blind and are indifferent to their plight. The love of money has caused many leaders to be more focused on having things rather than the joy of obeying Christ by evangelizing the lost.In these last days, the church must refocus to hearing the cry of the blind, initiate a plan of action to rescue them and thus fulfill the Great Commission.

Today there is a lack of trust in leaders, notably those leading the church, potentially leading to a lack of trust in God Himself-the Leader. Therefore, leaders must gain and maintain the servant-leader character for which the entire world yearns. Secondary leadership in particular is not glamorous and is often thankless. Secondary leaders are uniquely challenged to prove credibility to their senior leaders, their followers, and the world-all at once. Many are demoralized, burned out, and in need of healing. Others have developed unhealthy dispositions and behaviors, needing admonition. We must help to rebuild credibility in leadership, remembering that our service is ultimately "unto the Lord." He is the first and final Judge. The leader that He finds credible is the one all others can trust.

Every day, we wake up knowing that there is a world out there, and we have a very big chance to get out and conquer, win our battle, and achieve that goal if we put to work; we want to nail that interview,get our laundry done, present that project, fix a closet, or make that appointment, but many times, we don't even know where to start. And then right when we are about to take some action, creepy feelings visit our heart and make us doubt our readiness. This book is a simple daily resource to help you organize your thoughts and coach your emotions daily. Each day, you'll have a different approach and goal in life.

The Christian community, for the most part, is too afraid or apathetic to acknowledge its infection with the deadly virus of racism. Recent research has revealed an alarming resurgence of racism in America and in the Church. The focus of this book is the discernment and removal of racism in the Bride of Christ. I have acquired extensive practical knowledge on the matter. From the time of my natural birth to the moment of my spiritual rebirth, I was held captive by the powers of racism and bigotry. Born into a system of segregation and discrimination, I lived in the valley of the disadvantaged and oppressed because of my color and ethnicity. As a child, I was taught, indoctrinated, and inculcated with the idea that I was born inferior by a biased educational system, a prejudicial political and legal system, a white-oriented media industry, and a hypocritical and racist religious system. Since I was inherently a little lower than white people, I was to accept the way things were and appreciate the few privileges and the rights I did have.Many of my schoolteachers were themselves what we the called "color struck" (they favored fair complexioned black students over the dark-skinned students). When I complained about racism and segregation, they told me, "Just accept and adjust". I was always a little "different" than the average young rural African-American male from the South. I just could not "accept and adjust" to the way things were without feeling angry or making some type of protest. Little did I know that even then, the Holy Spirit was preparing me to write this book and others to serve as instruments of healing. This book is based more upon experience and inspiration than on academic research or study, although a great deal of study has gone into the preparation of this work. This is the hour when God is not only requiring, but is demanding that the Church address and attack the disease of racism that has causes schism and stagnation in the Body. Too much is at stake for the Christian leaders and laypersons to ignore the situation. The crisis warrants an all-out and unified effort to eliminate this spiritual cancer. Brethren are despising brethren, churches are hostile to other churches, and Christians treat one another like enemies - all because of racism. Anyone who reads this book with an open mind and considers what the Holy Spirit has inspired me to write concerning racism will be released completely from bondage of bigotry. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world (1 Corinthians 11:31-32). Oral Roberts declared, "Racism is perhaps one of the most stubborn problems in the American church, with deep historical roots and a variety of subtle expressions." Billy Graham was once asked on a national televised interview, "If you could change any one thing, what would it be?" His answer was racism! With this in view, we shall proceed to unmask and expose the real deceptive forces behind racism in the Church. Our true objective is to see Jesus Christ seated on the throne of each Christian's heart and in the place of preeminence in every local church. When this is finally realized, the darkness and degeneracy of racism in the Church will be no more.
