The Wisdom Of Silence

Contributed by James Dina on Aug 15, 2020

It is a great part of prudence to know when to be silent and when to speak. If you have nothing good, true or useful to say, it is better to be silent and say nothing. You have two ears and one mouth—use them proportionately.”

Fulfilling The Law

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 25, 2021

Hosea’s Risky Love, Part 2

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Aug 1, 2022

In the days the past, the clarion call and mission of the black church was two-fold: it served as a beacon of hope for the lost-soul seeking grace and mercy, but it also functioned as an oasis for all issues affecting the community. BMCR is That for the United Methodist Church
