Sunday, Feb 4, Jesse talked about that February marks his nonprofit BOND's 28th anniversary. We've been around 28 years rebuilding the family by rebuilding the man. Jesse Lee Peterson started the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny after he realized that it wasn't "racism" that holds blacks back, but the lack of moral character — brought on at root by unforgiveness toward mothers and a separation from fathers. Before all this, Jesse prayed to God to let him see himself. He listened to a preacher on the radio say that you must pray quietly and forgive to enter the kingdom of heaven. So he sat and prayed and saw that he had anger toward his mother for separating him from his father, so he went and apologized to her for resenting her, for hating her, and he returned to his father as well. He started a radio show in Los Angeles to spread the good news, but many blacks called him names, threatened the radio station, and so he was kicked off the station. The Los Angeles Times did a story on him, then Phil Donahue and Geraldo interviewed him, and one thing led to another. Jesse thanked all of the BOND supporters, staff and volunteers for their prayers and help over the last 28 years. We look forward to continuing the work. Jesse also talked about the Biblical Question of the Week: Is the Bible the inspired Word of God, or were the men who wrote it inspired? Many people responded with what they believe. Some didn't know the difference. The men who wrote it were inspired. We must be born again and live by revelation, take every thought captive, know ourselves, and not listen to our thoughts which are from Satan. Our theme this year is to know thyself — self-knowledge. We also read from the verse that says to whom much is given, much is required. It's best not to know the truth if you are not committed to it. If you do the silent prayer, commit to it. God will hold you responsible for your knowledge. So seek first the kingdom of Heaven, and His right way. Jesus said in Luke 12 :47-48, "And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more." http://rebuildingtheman.com/church
