    Jesus was taken into the wild by the Spirit for the Test. The Devil was ready to give it. Jesus prepared for the Test by fasting forty days and forty nights. That left him, of course, in a state of extreme hunger, which the Devil took advantage of in the first test:

    One of the most come things I hear when I speak with ministry leaders about being intentional about diversity is:
    We welcome ALL people to join our church.  We are not “racist!”

    I’m a child of the ’60s, and my generation is no stranger to racial tension in our country. So I guess I should not have been surprised that when I became the president of the Gospel Music Association, I faced these same issues within the world of Christian music.
