My Beautiful Mother

Written by admin on . Posted in Bible, family, Mother. 1 Comment on My Beautiful Mother

I was able to visit my mother this past Tuesday in Fresno, California. We were eating a little Mexican food and my handsome father snapped this photograph. I don’t get to see my mom much because she is so active in HER church that she rarely visits MY church. I LOVE that about my mother. She has always set the perfect example for me. As a young man I remember her sitting in church EVERY WEEKEND with a BIBLE in her lap, taking notes as dad preached. That visual has directed my life to keep the word of God a priority and to soak it in as much as possible. I’m sure she heard dad preach thousands of times, and each time she was like a sponge, carefully listening to the voice of God being taught by the Holy Spirit in truth and wisdom. I hope and pray that I have been that example to my children and to the Shepherd of the Hills Church. May we all continue to study, learn, memorize and apply the word of God. Thank you, mother, for being the “World’s Greatest Mom”. I love you!!! Dudley

Blair Underwood (The voice of Jesus)
West Angeles Church of God in Christ Cathedral

Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Ulmer

Last night was a memorable evening at the West Angeles Church of God in Christ Church where there was a LIVE performance of God’s Word being read. The “Bible Experience” is a collection of audio CDs in which 250 plus people read in dramatic fashion the Word of God. As I have shared earlier, my involvement in this project was to just help it get started. I was told at the outset that they couldn’t find anyone to help them get it off the ground. But when I was pitched the idea I KNEW I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE INVOLVED and I KNEW THAT GOD WOULD MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN. Sure enough the Dream became a REALITY. Here’s a list of some of the participants. Angela Bassett, Cuba Gooding Jr, Samuel L. Jackson, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Blair Underwood, Denzel Washington, Yolanda Adams, Kirk Franklin, Levar Burton, James Brown, Star Jones, Shirley Caesar, Tatyana Ali, Bill Bellamy, Tyrese Gibson, Donnie McClurkin, John Salley, Marvin Winans and my dear friend Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer.

The people who did MOST of the work on this project are Ron Belk, Kyle Bowser, Lou “Buster” Brown, Robi Reed, Nancy Sprow and sweet Chip Hurd.

When you listen to each text, it’s as if YOU ARE THERE when it’s happening. I love listening through the book of Acts and I love the sections at the end of the Gospels where the readers portray the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. IT IS POWERFUL.

You can order yours right now at http://www.callonjesus.com/ It will be a gift of a lifetime to give this Christmas. Remember that God’s Word does NOT return void.

I only wish they would have let ONE skinny 6’5″ white Pastor read one little chapter. But Ron kept telling me no. I guess I’ll have to sit this one out… But you know what??? I’m just thankful to be a small part of this project and I know that when I am dead and gone from this old earth that this project will still be changing people’s hearts and lives. And that’s ALL that MATTERS. And all God’s people said????? Amen and Amen!

The Bible Experience LIVE

Over a year ago Ron Belk approached me about a project to put the Bible, read by famous African Americans, on audio CDs. He needed to help to get the project off the ground and I agreed to help him. We recently completed the New Testament, which is available now at www.callonjesus.com/ and the Old Testament will be finished around Easter ’07.

The New Testament is 19 CDs and one DVD. Blair Underwood reads as the voice of Jesus. Denzel Washington reads the Song of Solomon. Samuel Jackson is the voice of God. Cuba Gooding Jr. is Judas and T.D. Jakes is the Holy Spirit. Deniece Williams and Cindy Herron-Braggs as well as a few others from our own congregation are involved, too.

As you can tell by the above artwork, we are having a LIVE reading with musical performances this Wednesday, November 15, 2006 at Bishop Blake’s church from 7 to 9 pm. I am planning on attending and want to invite you for this LIVE experience. As I’ve thought about this project, it’s NOT the fame of the individual people that make this a STAR ATTRACTION. The Bible itself is the WORD OF GOD….. enough said. This Book, no matter who the reader, no matter who the listener, will change the HEART of anyone who’ll simply apply the truths found in its pages. The question is: Will you read it? Will you listen to it? Will you apply it? No life is ever the same after coming face to face with the truth of God’s Word.

Will you join me this Wednesday for a LIVE experience of a lifetime at the West Angeles Church of God in Christ?
