"With the tools of democracy, democracy was murdered and lawlessness made ‘legal.’ Raw power ruled, and its only real goal was to destroy all other powers besides itself.” Eric Metaxas, Bonhoeffer

Martin Luther King's Last Speech
Speech from 3 April 1968, Church of God in Christ, Memphis, Tennessee
On 4 April 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.
Let us pray for those whose hearts are hardened against His grace and loving kindness by greed, fear, and pride, and the seductive illusion and crushing isolation of evil.
We pray that we all may experience the three great gifts of our Lord's suffering and triumph: repentance, forgiveness, and thankfulness. And in so doing, may we obtain abundant life, and with it the peace that surpasses all understanding.
