And as long as we have Value Way should appreciate one another. So it doesn't matter whether you wear a police uniform, a firefighter uniforms or you used to be a former gang bang bang. Yes, What you have about And it is important that we understand that no matter who we are, no matter where we found ourselves a light no matter what dark crevices we have found ourselves, the light could dispel darkness. The light of Jesus Christ. The light of love can move out hatred, bigotry and all the ISMs sexism, racism, that ageism that seemed to divide us.

His name is Dr James Ford Dr For But please go on us now, brothers and sisters, you are this beyond measure Do you know that you have gathered with us here today in what is clearly in Cairo's move today August 29 2000 and 20 is a very, very special day. It will not be repeated over 800 years. I added it off on the college this love the 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th were five Sundays in the month of August and the 3rd 10 17.

And so I ask you, as you stand at this pivotal moment in history, a day that will not be repeated 100 years from now, where do you stand? In the midst of the chaos, the confusion, brutality in our time, I was reading in the Gospel of John on argument in the eighth chapter that led to the fact that there are two kinds of people. Children off the devil and Children off God. On this historic day, when we have many, many examples off ugliness, off meanness off mendacity, why not let each of us decide? We no longer want to be identified with the Children of the Devil way want to be identified as Children off God? What's the difference? Children are several, have the values off hatreds, tragedy this off green violence lives matter, say with may I am not a child of the devil. Children of God have love, respect they so find us compassion, mercy Love the body love of yourself and love of your neighbor in that light join me. Say I am a child of God on finally, this time is the Tyrod moment. I don't know what God is going to do, but I'm no God is not gonna let this home this past. So what I want you to do is to decide as Children of God will you repeat these words after me? And don't mind. I won't say anything. You don't want to say I have got a known right lord way. Wait. Just wait mode. Shape up after I will waiting way yielded and still so keep your eyes open. I don't know what God's going to do, but you know what you can do. You can decide whatever God is going to do with this epic making moment in the history of the United States. You want to be on God's sign. You want to be on God's side, Bring your boat. You want to be on God's side in the horrors passed through the streets. You want to be on God's side, Issues or raise makes you and that's where you are. If that's the case, then I go in prayer. Short prayer. In fact, you can play it with me. Lord Lord have done way. Secure the city of Ron as a tourist. See build Love in the nation of the United States will make us the people you are proud off as being your Children. Good afternoon, John Singleton.
