From The Pen In The Pulpit ....

Black Man Manned Up ...
The Black Family Is In a Crisis
NW FACTS Spiritual Columnist - Pastor Gregory Christopher, Shiloh Baptist Church

"One day while Jacob was cooking some bean soup, Esau came in from hunting. He was hungry and said to Jacob, I’m starving, give me some of that red stuff." That is why he was named Edom. Jacob answered. I will give it to you if you give me your rights as the first born son. Esau Said, "Alright, I am about to die; what good will my rights do me?"

Genesis 25:29-32 English Version.
This authentic event and dialogue between the first born and second born sons of Isaac and Rebecca is the epitome of the Black man in relation to family. Esau sold his birth rights to satisfy his flesh.
By divine authority (Black Men) all men was given the position of headship, leadership and stewardship of the family. And just like Esau the Black man sold his God given position as head of the family for instant gratification, crack cocaine, adultery, sex and a Cadillac.
The ramification of the Black man satisfying his flesh is more Blacks incarcerated, more Black children failing in school and more Black on Black crime than any other race.
Black man it time we Manned Up.
