When Black Preachers Preach

Volume I

Introduction

The idea and vision for such a book as this one has been in my heart for quite some time now.

In the not too distant past, God began to raise up a fresh and exciting voice in America. That voice is the voice of the black preacher who refused to use God’s sacred desk as a stage for entertainment or as a platform for political causes. Rather, these God-sent black preachers chose to stand boldly and preach "Thus saith the Lord" without compromise, fear or favor. These preachers are not popular, but neither were the preachers in the Bible. No, these preachers may not be popular, but they certainly need to be heard.

This book basically has a three-fold purpose:

A. To bring glory and honor to God and to His Son Jesus Christ.

B. To show honor and appreciation for the older black Baptist preachers who have paid the price, and who have laid the foundation for those of us who have followed. (Of course, all of the older brethren could not be included in this volume, but my hope is that these who are included will represent them.)

C. To reach this generation of Americans, who seem to have lost their way.

The sermons included in this volume were selected based upon how long the minister had been faithfully preaching the Gospel and based upon the impact of the sermon when it was actually preached. You will notice that some of these sermons were stenographically recorded because we not only wanted to get the letter of the sermon, but the spirit of the sermon as well; so that when you read this book, you will feel as though you are actually in the congregation, hearing the man of God, preach "thus saith the Lord."

I believe that if you read each sermon and the significant stuff in the back of this book, and you take heed to it, you will be convicted, challenged, comforted, and changed.—Daniel Whyte III, South Bend, Indiana

When Black Preachers Preach

Volume II

Introduction

The first volume of When Black Preachers Preach is dedicated to the honor and appreciation of the older black Bible-believing preachers who have laid the foundation for correct and clear Bible preaching and teaching in the black community of America. Well, this present offering — When Black Preachers Preach, Volume II, highlights some of the most dynamic preachers of our present day. Some of the men included in this volume are pastoring some of the fastest growing Bible-believing churches in America. Also, some of these preachers head up exciting, evangelistic organizations and conferences aimed at reaching black America with the unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ.

These men of God have broken the mold of the traditional black preacher. They have broken away from tradition itself. These men have forsaken the old way of doing black church, and they have chosen to stay clear of the religious confusion that has engulfed black America. These are men who do not claim perfection, but who are being mightily used by God.

As I approach my closing of this introduction to the second volume, allow me to state the four-fold purpose as to why we publish these down-to-earth messages from Heaven:

1. First and foremost to glorify God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

2. Black America, white America, and whosoever will needs to hear these messages from the Word of God. These are messages that should not be preached into the air and then forgotten.

3. Posterity. Friend of mine, we do not publish these books to make us feel good about ourselves, or for our own personal enjoyment. If the Lord should tarry His coming, I want these books to be available for the generations that will follow. They will need to know that there was a remnant of black preachers who stood for God in these times.

4. And as we said in the first volume, to reach this generation of Americans, who seem to have lost their way.

If you are one of the few dear people who still love what God calls sound doctrine; if you love powerful and exciting preaching that is also biblical, then the book that you hold in your hands is the right book for you.

May God use this book to change your life forever, and usher in many children of slaves into God’s glorious Kingdom.—Daniel Whyte III, Irving, Texas

The Tragedy of Lingering

by Dr. Lynwood Davis, Sr.

Dr. Lynwood Davis is the long-time pastor of the Northeast Baptist Temple in Fort Washington, Maryland.

"And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant’s house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they say, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat. But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may know them. And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. Behold now I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. And they said, stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door. And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door. And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? Son in law and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place. For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord hath sent us to destroy it. And Lot went out and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought them forth, and set him without the city. And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed."—Genesis 19: 1-17
