We are not sinners because\r\n\r\nwe sin; rather, we sin because we are sinners (Rom 6:23).\r\n\r\nB. Imputed Sin (Rom 5:15-18; 1Cor. 15:22).\r\n\r\n1. Imputed sin is Adam’s guilt attributed to or credited to us.\r\n\r\n2. Imputed sin affects our standing before God (we are guilty, condemned).\r\n\r\n3. Used both legally and financially to impute means “to designate any action, word, or thing as credited to another person’s account.”\r\n\r\n4. Biblically, Adam’s sin WAS IMPUTED to all his descendants, and they are dealt with as guilty.\r\n\r\n5. Because of Adam’s sin, humankind is subject to both spiritual death (Eph 2:1) and physical death (Rom 5:12). A total separation from God!\r\n\r\nGOD’S REMEDY\r\n\r\nA. The goods news regarding original and imputed sin is that God already had a remedy, a sovereign plan of salvation even before Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden. Jesus Christ was “the gift” that would provide propitiation (Rom 3:25), redemption (Rom3:24; 8:23), justification (Rom 4:25; 5:18) and sanctification (Rom 5:2; 15:16; John 14:16).\r\n\r\nB. When Jesus suffered, bled and died on the cross; humankind’s sins were IMPUTED to Him.\r\n\r\n1. The spotless and pure Lamb of God became the sin offering for the whole world (2 Cor. 5:14-21; Heb. 2:9; 1 John 2:2).\r\n\r\n2. He bore the penalty for sin. God imputed the guilt of our sins to Jesus  (Lev. 16:22, Isa. 53:4-6).\r\n\r\nTHE NEED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS\r\n\r\nA. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST IS IMPUTED TO THOSE WHO ACCEPT THE FREE GIFT OF GOD (ROMANS 5:19-21, John 3:16).\r\n\r\nB. Because of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ; the believer (by faith) not only receives propitiation, redemption, justification and sanctification.\r\n\r\nC. As a result of His atoning sacrifice, Christ’s righteousness is set to the believer’s account. ”The righteous of God” is credited to the person who puts his/her trust in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.\r\n\r\nD. THIS IS WHAT MAKES A PERSON SAVED! This was true of Abraham (Gen 15:6; Rom 4:3).

As love is the motivation, everything that I say and do will be done in a way that glorifies and honors God. After all, I desire that everything that I say and do will be done in a way that glorifies and honors God.\r\n\r\nFor example, when I tell someone the truth, I tell them in love. When I reprimand someone, I reprimand them in love. When I confront someone regarding their actions, I confront them in love. Even when I have to give someone a piece of my mind, I give them a piece of my mind in love.\r\n\r\nFollowing are passages from the Bible to encourage you towards establishing love as a motivation for everything that I say and everything that I do:\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">John 13:34, 35</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Romans 13:8</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1 John 3:16, 17</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1 John 4:11</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.</p>\r\nWhy is this important? One day, God is going to judge what we did based upon why we did it and how we did it. Paul shared in I Corinthians 3:11-15 (NIV) 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.\r\n\r\nTherefore, please ask yourself, “What is the quality of my love??

Whereas, there has been various levels of damage incurred in some areas of the Caribbean, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, the Bahamas was decimated. It is overwhelming to consider that thousands of people lost everything - literally everything.\r\n\r\nOur feelings of compassion for the residents of the Bahamas are further complicated when we realize that many of them were living basic lifestyles to begin with. Some may question, “Why would the storm come through and destroy this area with these people?” The storm missed areas where people have exorbitant incomes. The storm passed by areas where people have massive wealth and the ability to rebuild without difficulty. The storm turned before coming to areas where people have the capacity to move and start over without major disruptions to their lives. Instead, the storm destroyed an area where people’s lives will be negatively impacted for years and years and years to come.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, some may question, “Why would a loving God allow a storm to destroy the possessions of people who have little (many who are God-fearing) and spare the possessions of people who have much (many whose trust in their riches)?”\r\n\r\nWe are sometimes challenged when we witness those who doing wrong prospering, and those who are greedy gaining more, and those who disrespect and disregard people advancing forward. We, understand why the Psalmist stated in Psalm 73:3, “For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.” We understand why Jeremiah asked the question in Jeremiah 12:1, “... Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?” We understand because we have the same questions? “Why do bad things happen to those who are already struggling, causing them to struggle and suffer more while good thing happen to those who already have much – many times having gained it through immoral and deceptive activities?”\r\n\r\nMy answer to those questions are simply and honestly, “I do not know.” However, the Psalmist does provide encouragement in Psalm Chapter 37 as we seek ways to respond to those questions through a spiritual perspective:\r\n\r\n1 Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green\r\n\r\nherb. 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him,\r\n\r\nAnd He shall bring it to pass.\r\n\r\nI do not know why. However, I do know that when I trust in the Lord, delight myself in the Lord and commit myself to the Lord, I place the Lord in control of my life, and have confidence that He knows what he is doing.','PRAYER FOR THE VICTIMS OF HURRICANE DORIAN','','publish','closed','closed','','prayer-for-the-victims-of-hurricane-dorian','','','2019-09-21 22:54:39','2019-09-22 03:54:39','',0,'https://stage.pilgrimrestmilwaukee.org/?p=1854',0,'post','',0);

It is overwhelming to consider that thousands of people lost everything - literally everything.\r\n\r\nOur feelings of compassion for the residents of the Bahamas are further complicated when we realize that many of them were living basic lifestyles to begin with. Some may question, “Why would the storm come through and destroy this area with these people?” The storm missed areas where people have exorbitant incomes. The storm passed by areas where people have massive wealth and the ability to rebuild without difficulty. The storm turned before coming to areas where people have the capacity to move and start over without major disruptions to their lives. Instead, the storm destroyed an area where people’s lives will be negatively impacted for years and years and years to come.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, some may question, “Why would a loving God allow a storm to destroy the possessions of people who have little (many who are God-fearing) and spare the possessions of people who have much (many whose trust in their riches)?”\r\n\r\nWe are sometimes challenged when we witness those who doing wrong prospering, and those who are greedy gaining more, and those who disrespect and disregard people advancing forward. We, understand why the Psalmist stated in Psalm 73:3, “For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.” We understand why Jeremiah asked the question in Jeremiah 12:1, “... Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?” We understand because we have the same questions? “Why do bad things happen to those who are already struggling, causing them to struggle and suffer more while good thing happen to those who already have much – many times having gained it through immoral and deceptive activities?”\r\n\r\nMy answer to those questions are simply and honestly, “I do not know.” However, the Psalmist does provide encouragement in Psalm Chapter 37 as we seek ways to respond to those questions through a spiritual perspective:\r\n\r\n1 Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green\r\n\r\nherb. 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him,\r\n\r\nAnd He shall bring it to pass.\r\n\r\nI do not know why. However, I do know that when I trust in the Lord, delight myself in the Lord and commit myself to the Lord, I place the Lord in control of my life, and have confidence that He knows what he is doing.','PRAYER FOR THE VICTIMS OF HURRICANE DORIAN','','inherit','closed','closed','','1854-revision-v1','','','2019-09-21 22:52:58','2019-09-22 03:52:58','',1854,'https://stage.pilgrimrestmilwaukee.org/1854-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0);

You did something really nice, special and personal for someone. To express to you their appreciation for your kindness, they asked to take you out for dinner. After arriving at the restaurant, the both of you sit down, order your meals and begin drinking your beverages as you fellowship with each other.\r\n\r\nShortly thereafter, an old friend of theirs enters the restaurant. As you are responding to a question they just asked, they abruptly get up and go over to the table of their old friend and begin a conversation. You notice them laughing and talking as they reminisce their time together from the past. You are a bit surprised when you observe the waitress serve a beverage to them at that table and think to yourself how long the person plans to sit there and talk with their old friend while you sit and wait.\r\n\r\nAs you continue to sit at you table, by yourself, you watch the person’s beverage that was ordered at your table water down to mere colored water. You look over to the table at which the person is now sitting and engaged in stimulating conversation and delightful fellowship and almost fall out of your chair as the waitress brings entrées to the table for both the person’s old friend and the person who was supposed to be eating dinner with you.\r\n\r\nYou can’t speak… You can’t think… you need a drink of water… Your eyes begin cross as you think to yourself, “I don’t believe it! How dare they do that to me!” You ask your waitress to box up your meal and bring you your check because you need to leave. As you walk to the door, you hear the person and their friend laughing. As you exit, feeling embarrassed, rejected and dejected, you look over your shoulder, and see them thoroughly enjoying each other’s company. You leave thinking to yourself, “Well, I guess that is who that they really desire to be with.”\r\n\r\nHow do you think God feels? We come to worship service saying that we are here to spend time with God in the presence of God. Indeed, we begin to fellowship with God as we feel His presence with us and peace within us. As God is speaking to us and answering a question that we have asked, we abruptly shift our attention away from God to a distraction – a text comes in, a social media update, someone passes a note, someone is talking, someone’s hairstyle is unusual, someone’s clothes do not fit, “What will I eat for dinner?” “What do I need for work on tomorrow?” Distraction, distraction, distraction.\r\n\r\nAs the devil laughs at God, God looks over His shoulder feeling embarrassed, rejected and dejected, and see us thoroughly enjoying the company of the distraction. God then thinks to Himself, “Well, I guess that is what they really desire to spend their time with.”\r\n\r\nHave you calculated how many hours per day and per week you spend with God versus how many hours per day and per week that you spend with technology?

The debate of whether to assimilate or not goes back to the antebellum period when newly freed slaves sought ways to minimize their Blackness in favor of adopting what it meant </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">to be white and/or </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">to be </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">accepted by whites.

The debate of whether to assimilate or not goes back to the antebellum period when newly freed slaves sought ways to minimize their Blackness in favor of adopting what it meant </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">to be white and/or </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">to be </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">accepted by whites.

We teach our children to pursue the truth and reject lies. Jesus even told us in </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">John 8:32,</span></span> <span class=\"s25\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">32 </span></span><span class=\"s24\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">And</span></span><span class=\"s24\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.</span></span> <span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Jesus did not say that the truth will </span></span><span class=\"s26\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">set</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> us free, rather, the truth will </span></span><span class=\"s26\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">make</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> us free. When we pursue and attain the truth, we are made free. In other words, we have no other option except to be free.

Throughout our history in this country, we have been, and continue to be taught that everything about us is bad. Our dark skin color is bad, as opposed to lighter skin color. Our naturally curly hair is bad, as opposed to straight hair. Our broad noses are bad, as opposed to narrow noses. Our </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">thick lips are bad, as opposed to thin lips. Every distinct feature and characteristic that make us uniquely who we are as Black people has been determined to be bad. </span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s22\">​<span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Therefore, since our dark skin color, naturally curly hair, broad noses, thick lips and every other distinct feature and characteristic that makes us uniquely who we are is bad, we are bad. Since we, as Black people, are bad, then Jesus cannot be Black. Why? Because if Jesus is Black, then that mea</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">ns Jesus is bad. Consequently, we</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> a</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">re</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> forced to make a decision: Either </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">we</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> reject the truth that Jesus is Black and continue to support the lie that Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes, thereby </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">assisting </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">us</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> in continuing to support the lie that we as Black people are bad because every distinct feature and characteristic that make us uniquely who we are as Black people is bad. </span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s22\">​<span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Or, </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">we</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> accept the truth that Jesus is Black.

Why?

We teach our children to pursue the truth and reject lies. Jesus even told us in </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">John 8:32,</span></span> <span class=\"s25\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">32 </span></span><span class=\"s24\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">And</span></span><span class=\"s24\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.</span></span> <span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Jesus did not say that the truth will </span></span><span class=\"s26\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">set</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> us free, rather, the truth will </span></span><span class=\"s26\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">make</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> us free. When we pursue and attain the truth, we are made free. In other words, we have no other option except to be free. Lies hold us in bondage.</span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s22\">​<span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">It matters because it is true, and since it is true, we have a responsibility to live that truth and share that truth</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> that we live</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> with others.</span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s22\">​<span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Second, it matters because it challenges us to rethink what we think about Black people. Throughout our history in this country, we have been, and continue to be taught that everything about us is bad. Our dark skin color is bad, as opposed to lighter skin color. Our naturally curly hair is bad, as opposed to straight hair. Our broad noses are bad, as opposed to narrow noses. Our </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">thick lips are bad, as opposed to thin lips. Every distinct feature and characteristic that make us uniquely who we are as Black people has been determined to be bad. </span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s22\">​<span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Therefore, since our dark skin color, naturally curly hair, broad noses, thick lips and every other distinct feature and characteristic that makes us uniquely who we are is bad, we are bad. Since we, as Black people, are bad, then Jesus cannot be Black. Why? Because if Jesus is Black, then that mea</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">ns Jesus is bad. Consequently, we</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> a</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">re</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> forced to make a decision: Either </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">we</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> reject the truth that Jesus is Black and continue to support the lie that Jesus has blond hair and blue eyes, thereby </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">assisting </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">us</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> in continuing to support the lie that we as Black people are bad because every distinct feature and characteristic that make us uniquely who we are as Black people is bad. </span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s22\">​<span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Or, </span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">we</span></span><span class=\"s23\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\"> accept the truth that Jesus is Black.

This count includes the collection of basic information, such as age, sex, and race, about every person living in each household.</span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s53\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">When will the 2020 Census start?</span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s43\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">The U.S. Census Bureau will begin sending 2020 Census packets to households in March 2020.</span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s53\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">The value of the census </span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s43\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Our responses to the 2020 Census are vital for shaping the future for ourselves, our families, and our communities, including the people our faith tells us we should help the most.

You can respond as soon as you receive your 2020 Census packet. Be sure to count everyone who is living in your household.</span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s53\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Can the information I provide for the census be used against me?</span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s43\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">No, it cannot. The Census Bureau is very strict about protecting the privacy and confidentiality of every individual and household. This protection is required by law, with severe consequences for violations. The Census Bureau is not allowed to share information about individuals or specific households, and your information cannot be used against you by any government agency or court—not by the police department, DHS, ICE, FBI, or CIA. </span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s53\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Recruiting Temporary Workers for the 2020 Census</span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s43\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">The recruiting of hundreds of thousands of temporary workers for the 2020 is now underway.</span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s43\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">The U.S. Census Bureau is recruiting 2.7 million people across the country to assist with the 2020 Census count.  Learn more about the jobs so you can earn some extra income while helping your community</span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s53\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Easy to Apply</span></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s43\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Applying for one of these jobs is simple.

The Census Bureau is very strict about protecting the privacy and confidentiality of every individual and household. This protection is required by law, with severe consequences for violations. The Census Bureau is not allowed to share information about individuals or specific households, and your information cannot be used against you by any government agency or court—not by the police department, DHS, ICE, FBI, or CIA. </span></span></p>\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s53\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Recruiting Temporary Workers for the 2020 Census</span></span></p>\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s43\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">The recruiting of hundreds of thousands of temporary workers for the 2020 is now underway.</span></span></p>\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s43\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">The U.S. Census Bureau is recruiting 2.7 million people across the country to assist with the 2020 Census count.  Learn more about the jobs so you can earn some extra income while helping your community</span></span></p>\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s53\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Easy to Apply</span></span></p>\n<p class=\"s9\"><span class=\"s43\"><span class=\"bumpedFont20\">Applying for one of these jobs is simple.
