I am Deveta Smith Brown, senior pastor of Poplar Hill Christian Church (DOC) in the South Carolina Region. I appreciate your kind words of wisdom and love. And also, the beautiful reminder of those Saints that paved the way for us, that we might “Be” … (.) And yes, those whom we will forever hold in our hearts.
Blessings

Where then is our witness to the leading name of our Lord Jesus Christ in this transcript, as “the body of Christ, ” and His very own leading living Lord movement, in the leading words,of our general minister and president here in rhis? According to the living God of heaven and earth, as the beloved church of God in and with and for the whole world of nations, let us never neglect, but rather serve to bear witness, to Him and serve with and in and for the sake, His name, the name that is above every name, in heaven and upon earth: the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, as we exercise indeed our own servant responsiblilties to God, one another, and all our fellow human beings! Let us remember how God peculiarly loves, as He has loves the world! We may be in different political parties, and even denominations, with different denominational, leaders, but let us all remember most of all, above all, and decidedly, by our Lord Jesus Christ, from God, and God’s own beloved and chosen Son, and not first own chosing, we are the Christian church of our one, Head, Jesus Christ, disciples of Christ, together with His world wide church in witness to Him and His work in and with and for the whole world, and that He declares to us “Behold, I am with you, to the end of the age.” By our baptism we confess together that we are our Lord Jesus Christ’s own movement in and with and for the whole world, including the United States of America among all the world, some of us citizens age 18 and r older and registered or registratable voters therein!

Our Living Lord Jesus Christ lead His church and all His Christian in and with and for the good of God’s world of nations together on this earth, under heaven, as He has been for us all by our gracious God in His affirmation of every human being, God Himself having chosen Himself to be the God of His human beings, and thus also chosen us human beings to be His! “I will be your God, you will be my people.” That is fulfilled by God in Jesus Christ our Lord, and in the promise of the Holy Spirit. That is the great mystery of God for us, God’s gracious , “God is with us,” Our Emanuel, Jesus Christ for all human beings !
