Martin Luther King, Jr.

This is via Steve Barber in Plymouth, Indiana, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King and his legacy of nonviolent resistance and peacemaking.


“Don't ever think that you're by yourself. Go to jail if necessary, but you never go alone. Take a stand for that which is right, and the world may misunderstand you, and criticize you. But you never go alone, for somewhere I read that one with God is a majority. Walk with Him this morning and believe in Him and do what is right, and He'll be with you even until the consummation of the ages. Yes, I've seen the lightning flash. I've heard the thunder roll. I've felt sin breakers dashing, trying to conquer my soul, but I heard the voice of Jesus saying, still to fight on. He promised never to leave me alone, never to leave me alone. No, never alone. No, never
alone.” (MLK from a sermon at Ebenezer, November 5, 1967)
