It is extremely diffi-cult to be good parents today. Eventhose who are highly motivated todo the job right often make a messof things. Why? Because childrenare infinitely complex. There is noformula that works in every case.In fact, I believe it is more diffi-cult to raise children now thanever before. Be assured that youwill not do the job perfectly, e1-ther.

And this capac-ity is our glory as human beings.2. The only way to assure beingloved is to be a person worthy oflove.3. If you desire greater wisdom,you can find it inside you.4. Integrity is never painless.5. We are incapable of lovinganother unless we love ourselves.6. True listening is love in ac-tion.7. It is through love that elevateourselves. And it is through ourlove for others that we assist oth-ers to elevate themselves.8. Itis our sense of commitmentafter the wedding that makes pos-sible the transition from falling inlove to genuine love. And it is ourcommitment after conception thattransforms us from biological intopsychologieal parents.9. Learning from our children isthe best opportunity we have toassure ourselves ofa meaningfulold age.10. The farther one travels alongthe journey of life, the more joyand the more pain one experiences.However, for all that is given up,even more is gained. By: M.

im*- ~co ~Submitted by:Marie GoingsPROVERBS 29:18 tells us oWhere there is no vision, thepeople perish:... ? EvangelistGeorge A. Hawkins is a man witha vision. Until the year 1991, Tab-ernacle Center Church of Deliver-ance, Inc., was a only a vision in-grained deep in the heart of Evan-gelist Hawkins by God. Today, thatvision has become a reality in fullbloom. God, in His greatness andby His omnipotent power, hasbrought this vision into fruition.Tabernacle Center Church of De-liverance opened its doors at 404Evans Street (Mall) in Greenvillefor their first service on Apmil 21,1991, with only seven (7) membersand a host of visitors. praises weregiven to the Lord Jesus Christ forthe things He had done. Taber-nacle received an IndependentChartered Church status with theState of North Carolina, and theCounty of Pitt in April of 1991. Afew months later, it was incorpo-rated. However, the most impor-tant status was given by our Heav-enly Father at the time the visionwas placed on the heart of PastorHawkins, and that is the status ofVOICE CE - WEEK OF JUNE 30 - JULY 7, 1995Tabernacle Center of DeliveranceNo longer a vision... . Now a Reality!" oSoul Winning ?.When the Church began, somespecific requirements were giventhe body of Christ. They are: (1) tobring God Ts people back to the be-ginning; C2) to bring the people ofGod out of religion and into a rela-tionship with God; and, (3) to bringthe people of God into the matu-rity of God Ts word. We are prayer-fully striving hard to do the workof the Lord according to the chargegiven us. The Lord has blessed thework of our hands as His wordsproclaimed He would do. The Lordprompted Pastor Hawkins to ex-pand the ministry. With manysouls coming to Christ, the minis-try branching out in many direc-tions,, and the present place ofworship growing more crowdeddaily, it was time to make a move...we needed a larger place. On Au-gust 4, 1993,, the wheels were putin motion.The Lord blessed us to purchasethe property at the corners ofDickinson Avenue and 14th andChestnut Streets...the future siteof our new sanctuary. We weretold we could not afford the prop-erty because it was priced at$155,000.00 and we were just agroupof oNOBODIES ?. Ourchurchis made up of former drug addicts,drug pushers, welfare victims,homosexuals, alcoholics, depressedand homeless people. There wereeven a few who were saved butstill walking the streets of DE-FEAT, not realizing they were notexperiencing the FULLNESS ofaChristian life. Today, these samepeople are saved, walking in thelight of God Ts word, and know howto overcome the trials of life whilepraising the Lord Jesus Christ.The Lord said in His word that Hehath chosen the foolish things ofthe world to confound the wise. Tothe world it is foolish for a group of oNOBODIES ? (most of them with-out jobs when they came into theministry) to ever think of purchas-ing anything that cost more than$1.00. It would be foolish if theLord had not told us that oExceptthe Lord build the house, theylabour in vain that build it: exceptthe Lord keep the city, the watch-man waketh but in vain. PSALMS127:1The first step in coming out ofreligion into a real relationshipwith God is learning to rely totallyon God by studying His word andHAWK OKS cNaanspending quality time in prayerand fasting before the Lord. Be-cause of these promises, we refuseto be defeated... for God is thelefter R.Had we listened to all the nega-tive comments and not sought theLord for directions, we would neverhave made a step nor raised afinger to go beyond 404 EvansStreet. We have learned to givethanks to the Lord Jesus Christfor ALL things, as His words com-mand us to. Tabernacle CenterChurch of Deliverance was estab-lished on the word of God and willcontinue to grow by the word be-cause we know that the minute wetake down or try to do it our wayand by our own strength we willsurely fall. As soul winners forChrist, our first priority is to haveJesus at the center of our life. Thehand of God has worked manymiracles in Tabernacle.... soulshave been saved, bodies have beenhealed, habits have been broken,homes have been restored, unem-ployed persons have received jobs,homeless have found homes, andmany other hearts T desires havebeen realized. For all these bless-ings and more, we give ALL theglory and honor to the Lord.The Lord has blessed us with aPrison Ministry, a Street Minis-try, an Outreach Ministry for thesick, suffering and dying, and thosepersons who are lonely and needsomeone to talk to or just listen.We have a ministry that reachesout to the total man "no matterwhat the situation or problemmight be. We also havea Children TsMinistry... teaching them theyways of Christ. God uses ordinarypeople like us who come from allwalks of life. Because we are newcreatures in Christ, we can handleany situation or problem thatmight arise because we have theproblem solver, JESUS CHRIST,guiding us.Ithas been a year and ten monthssince the second phase of the vi-sion unfolded and now we are pre-paring to go into phase three of thevision. On Saturday, June 3, 1995,we held our ground-breaking cer-emony marking the beginning ofconstruction for our new edifice atthe corner of Dickinson Avenueand 14th Streets, dedicating totheLord the land for the building ofour new sanctuary which will havea seating capacity of 500. We werehonored with the presence of suchnotables as the Honorable NancyJenkins, Mayor of the City ofGreenville, City CouncilwomanMildred Council, Mr. Jim Rouse,President of WOOW Radio andthe ~M T Voice Newspaper, Mr. Wil-liam Clark, WOOW Radio Person-ality, Prophet and Mrs. RaymondSolomon of Trinidad. There weremany other friends and well-wish-ers with us on this momentousoccasion. The weather was pour-ing rain, but our spirits could notbe dampened on this day. Each ofus had sunshine in our very souls.During the past four years, theLord has truly shown us who Heisin the power of His ressurection.He has renewed our minds fromthinking oI can Tt do anything ? toknowing oI can do all thingsthrough Christ whichstrengtheneth me ? PHILIPPIANS4:13. This scripture tells us thatthe Lord has made every provisionnecessary for us andis continuallystrengthening us daily in everyarea of our lives while encourag-ing us to stand firm on the word ofGod...in spite of. To God be theglory for the things he has done!

It wasan extraordinary event: over 110delegates, representing 24 states,came together to mark the firstyear of the party Ts existence andmake preparations for the 1996presidential election.The Patriot Party was foundedone year ago in Arlington, Vir-, ginia by an unlikely coming to-gether of a network of white activ-ists newly politicized by RossPerot Ts 1992 presidential cam-paign, and me and many of mycolleagues and followers from theAfrican American community. Atthat original meeting, a set of prin-ciples were hammered out whichfeatured democratic restructuring,government accountability and fis-cal responsibility as the party Tsgoals.In the year since its founding,the Patriot Party has flourished.And it has attracted some of themost inspiring and energetic newindependent Black leaders in thecountry. Joining me as delegateson the floor of the convention were:Kelvin Alexander and AdolphMontgomery, both leaders of theBlack police of ficers association inNew York City, the Guardians;Wayne Griffin and CharlesBunche, who had run for governorand lieutenant governor, respec-tively, of South Carolina on thePatriot Party-affiliated line lastNovember; Yvonne Braime fromNewark, New Jersey; RaquelHolmes from Boston, Massachu-setts; Andrew Garnett from Au-gusta, Georgia; Nate Roberson,who was elected Greene CountyCommissioner in Alabama on thePatriot line; David Cherry fromChicago, who had participated inthe African American Summit;Queenie Lawrence from Brooklyn,FROM THE ~M T VOICE ARCHIVES. .. Sisters PriscillaPippin and mother Rosa (Big Mama) Weaver stop for a fewminutes for our camera.Photo: Jim Rouse|New York; Georgianna Williamsfrom Los Angeles, California;Mamie Moore from Richmond,Virginia; and, of course, the Pa-triot Party Ts national secretary,Dr. Jessie Fields.What shocks many politicalpundits about this new party, andmy effort to build it in the Blackcommunity, is that it has few ofthe trappings traditionally asso-ciated with Black political partici-pation. Many people, including ourelected officials, believe that theBlack community belongs in thekind of political setting where tra-ditional Black issues "increasedsocial service benefits, affirma-tive action, education "would bethe centerpiece of a politicalagenda. However, close to60 yearsof participation in the politicalsystem "largely through theDemocratic Party " and largelyoriented toward such so-called oBlack ? issues, has left the Blackcommunity politically and eco-nomically impoverished.It is very easy to walk into theBlack community and give aringingly militant speech abouthousing or health care. The Demo-crats do it every day of the week.It is nothing less than a politicaltragedy that the Black commu-nity has been fooled over and overagain by such political ploys. Thefact of the matter is that the pri-mary beneficiary of Big Govern-ment spending in the Black com-munity is not Black people. Theprimary beneficiary of Big Gov-ernment spending in the Blackcommunity is the DemocraticParty, which uses those programsas political patronage mills in order to keep themselves in power,while the Black community con-tinues to suffer. I will not partici-pate in deluding the Black com-munity the way the Democratsdo. We have worked extremelyhard to build the Patnot Party "which is a new American partner-ship "along very non-traditionallines. We spent the bulk of theconvention "into the late hours ofthe night "dialoguing and votingon platform issues. This dialoguewas very intense because it wasreally, at root, about what kind ofparty we would be; about whetherthe Patriot Party is going to be aparty that adopts various plat-form planks in order to appeal to(Continued on page 4)Interview with Judge James E. MartinBy: M'BuluRouse(Allegations that he has violatedthe judicial system by treatingpeople with leancy and not goingby the book.)On May 17, 1995, I was able tohave an interview with JudgeJames E. Martin and discuss withhim about being censored for asecond time. The citizens of thejudicial district of Pitt County feelas though Judge Martin shouldstep down due to him so-calledinterferon in a case concerningsome people that he knew. Whenyou are or shall I say, have been ajudge for - 15 years of your life, andhave seen every court case comethrough the judicial system. thensometimes you tend to havea heartor sometimes may even see some-one that you may know or haveknown, or in many cases knowtheir parents. Now, I ask you thecommunity.... if you were a dis-trict court judge and have beenmajority of your life. how wouldyou go about treating the public orthose that come into your court-room, Would you let your job, getyou to the point that you would nothave a heart or compassion forthose that no absolutely nothingabout the judicial system and howit works.... especially to blacks. Iam sure that a lot of you read thearticle recently published aboutJudge James FE. Martin. This ar-ticle is clearly to state a matter ofopinion. I am a citizen of PittCounty and have been for abouttwo years now, and being a citizena andian African-American here inPitt County, there are a lot ofthose that really don Tt give adamnabout our people and how we goabout treating our race. In myeyes, Judge James E. Martin, doesnot show to me, that he doesn Ttcare. [have witnessed Judge Mar-tin on several occasions in thecourt room, and he clearly to meshows a man that cares and caresa great deal about people and howthe judicial system treats every-one. Now I understand that ac-cording to the Daily Reflector,Judge Martin does not go by thebook and that when it comes to aparticular case, you are not sup-posed to discuss the case outsidethe courtroom, but someone pleasetell me,...Is it that a judge is notsupposed to have any feelingswhat so ever about anything whenit comes to that courtroom.Judge James E. Martin is ajudge that I truly admire and re-spect and believe that he doescare and cares for our people. Notjust our people, but for everyone.There is no law in the world thatstates that no matter where youare in thejudicial system you can Tthave compassion and sympathy.We understand that you have todo your job, but you can still havecompassion. Not saying that youcan Tt do your job, but we are allhumans and you can Tt live in thisworld today, with everything thatis going on and not have sometype of feelings for the communityor shall I say for those that comeinto the courtroom.Judge James E, Martin clearlytome ig aman toatieiss andlikesfor people to know and understandthe judicial system, so that youwon't get caught up in the systemrepeatedly.The citizens of the judicial dis-trict have their opinions and haveevery right in the world to voicethem, but don Tt knock a man forbeing human. I Tve seen some of thejudges here in Pitt County act orshow that they just don Tt give adamn about what happens to you,but what are we supposed to dowhen there is someone that doescare and has compassion for thoseno nothing about the judicial sys-tem.We need to stop having so muchnegativity and start having somecompassion for the general public.KKK III III IIIA II III II III III gBROTHER JAMES HILL (L) and Brother John Parker (R)are really struttin T their stuff these days!!!
