from the editor

OUR FATHERThis is the month we celebrate our fathers. I know for some, Father’s Day can be painful,

a sad reminder of growing up without a father present in the home or being active in

their lives. The pain of growing up fatherless can sometimes leave a scar that is hard to remove. There

may even be some situations or circumstances that warrant the absence of dad, but to a child without a father these things or reasons

mean nothing. But, for every situation, circumstance or reason, father is not there, there is someone who is more than able to fill that void. That someone

is God, Our Heavenly Father.

Though we all may not fall into the category of growing up without a father, the truth be told there are a large number of dads who are present in the lives of their children. But what I would

like to say to those who grew up without a father present and to those who did . . . there is one thing we all have in common, we all can claim the same Father. Our Father which art in heaven. We all

share the greatest Father of all, and He has never been an absentee dad.

Let me remind you about Our Father. Our Father is omnipresent, He is with you at the same time He is with me, in fact He is everywhere at all times. Our Father is omniscient, He is the wisest of all, He knows

everything about each one of us. Our Father is omnipotent, He is all-powerful, He has the ability to do absolutely anything He wants for us.

Here are a few more things about Our Father. Our Father is a good provider, He supplies all of our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Our Father is a protector; He is our shield and buckler (Psalm 91). Our Father is a comforter; He mends a broken heart (Matthew 5:4). Our Father is a healer; He will restore our bodies (Psalm 103:3).

Our Father sounds like a pretty great dad to me. He is great and mighty. He is a friend that sticks closer than any brother. He loves each and every one of us unconditionally with the same amount of love. And let us not forget that Our Father loved us so much that He gave His only begotten son (Jesus) so that we would be able to live with Him eternally! (John 3:16)

I could go on and on but I believe the best thing about Our Father is He is whatever you need Him to be whenever you need Him. This Father’s Day as we celebrate our earthly fathers, don’t leave out Our Father which art in Heaven. He is the Greatest!

G&G: Pastor Smith, we salute you this month as you celebrate your 7th Pastoral Anniversary! I am very excited for this opportunity to talk with you. Most pastors have shared with me that ‘preaching the gospel’ was not necessarily what they had planned to do with their lives. Was it the same for you, did you have other plans for your life before your call to ministry?

Pastor Smith: First I would like to thank you for this opportunity to share with you and the Grace & Glory audience. We are excited also for the 7 years God has allowed us to be together as Pastor and People. Preaching was de!nitely not part of my plans. Pastoring was out of the question. Growing up I was always involved in sports and had dreams like most young African American men to play professional sports. A"er a good college football career and a few unsuccessful attempts at professional football, becoming a State Trooper was also something I always wanted to do. God had other plans. I never became a State Trooper and I had a nineteen year career with Fidelity Engineering.

G&G: Was your call to ministry a hard call to accept? Please share with us how it all began for you. Was there anyone who signi!cantly in"uenced your decision about ministry?

Pastor Smith: I remember as a young boy my grandmother talking about me following the footsteps of my grandfather who was a Pastor. Out of all of my brothers I was the one who gravitated to him. Like most young boys I strayed away because of sports. Growing up everyone seemed to say I was going to be a preacher. I wanted to prove everyone wrong so I did what I had to do to let them know that I could not be a preacher- if you know what I mean. But God has a way of making sure His will is done in our lives. A"er coming full circle and accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and meeting my wife Wanda, who had invited me to church, is where it all began. Before accepting the call I had to acknowledge the call on my life to ministry. #e hardest part was accepting the call to the Pastoral ministry; there are other areas of ministry other than the Pastoral ministry. #e one who signi!cantly in$uenced my decision

about ministry was my Pastor Dr. Haywood Robinson III. G&G: Pastor Smith, as you re"ect over the last seven years, what would you say has been your passion in ministry? What is the driving force behind your ministry? What do you believe it takes to be a good pastor in our world today?

Pastor Smith: Over these last seven years my passion in ministry is to share the word of God and watch people respond not to me but to God and His word. #e driving force behind my ministry is knowing that God has chosen me (Isaiah 43:10) and has counted me faithful and trustworthy (1Timothy 1:12). Since He has chosen me and counted me faithful and trustworthy that keeps me humbled and honored to serve Him and His people. To be a good Pastor today one must love the Lord thy God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind (Matt.22:37). Be ready to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, until we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:12-13). Be a servant a"er God’s own heart demonstrating genuine concern, compassion, and care for God’s people. G&G: With the in"ux of new ministries and hundreds of churches in the Baltimore community, what sets the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church and your ministry apart? How would you best describe the ministry of the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church? If your ministry could be known for one thing, what would that be?

Pastor Smith:#ere has been an in$ux of new churches and ministries. When we look around there are churches on every corner. I believe that Mt. Moriah is strategically placed in the Walbrook Junction community to make a di%erence. We are

a church that is making an e%ort of reaching those that are under forty while at the same time holding on to those over sixty. I would want Mt. Moriah to known for being ‘Faithful Followers’ of the Father reaching the world for Christ. G&G: Pastor Smith it has been said in today’s society that it is hard to tell the di#erence between believers and nonbelievers. During your years of pastoring have you found any areas of ministry frustrating or di$cult? Has it become more challenging to reach the unsaved? What do you believe the church should be saying and doing?

Pastor Smith: Galatians 5:19a says, the works of the $esh are evident, likewise Gal. 5:22-23 says, the fruit of the spirit are evident. Ministry in itself can be frustrating and seem di&cult at times. God’s plan for reaching the unsaved has not changed. His message is still the same. What we as the church must do is change our methods on reaching the lost. How do we do it? We should be Exalting Christ through Worship, Edifying the Christian through the Word, and Evangelizing the Community through Witnessing. G&G: For many of our youth they feel that the church is not relevant to their issues and what they face growing up in today’s society; issues that are much more intense than what we faced growing up. Trust is a major issue for them when it comes to church. How do we gain the trust of our youth and how do we meet them at their need to attract them to the church?Pastor Smith: We can gain the trust of our youth by being and becoming more transparent. When the youth see us they see us the way we are now and not the way we were. We look down on them like we have been saved all of our lives, instead of sinners saved by God’s grace. When we can become transparent and share our testimony, they will be open and began to trust us. Letting them know we feel their pain and we all have messed up, but that we serve a God of grace and a God of mercy who looks beyond all our faults and supplies our needs. G&G: Pastor Smith, what issues do you see as the most important ones facing the church right now? What is the most pressing

need in the community surrounding the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church?

Pastor Smith: Some of the issues facing the church today are in direct connection with the issues we are facing in society today. #e church is made up of people and the economic, social issues we are facing as a people are a%ecting the church. #ere is no secret that it takes money to do ministry. We are faced with unemployed people who are coming to the church for help and I thank God that He has blessed us to help those in need. #e needs around Mt. Moriah are for the young people who have nowhere to go a"er school or during the summer. #ey are just hanging around in the streets. It is true that an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. #is year we are extending our summer enrichment camp through the entire summer and moving to implement a before and a"er school program in the near future.

G&G: Pastor Smith lastly, as you celebrate your 7th Pastoral Anniversary, can you share with us what’s on the horizon for Mt. Moriah Baptist Church that will give you an opportunity to expand your ministry?

Pastor Smith: We are excited about what God is doing with us. We have just presented a !ve year vision for the church taking one year at a time. We are branding ourselves in the community so the community will know who we are there. We have just adopted the Walbrook Junction circle letting them know we care and are a part of the community. We believe God gives the vision and He will give the provision. We have just completed our application for our 501c3 (W.O.R.D. Corporation). #at will allow us to do so much for our community. We are expanding our ministry outside the walls of the church looking to purchase property for a Community Resource Center and Senior Housing Development. We truly believe, “Eye have not seen nor ears have heard of what great things God has in store for us.” We solicit your prayers as we seek to do the work of the Lord for the expansion of the Kingdom.

Since He has chosen me

and counted me faithful and trustworthy

that keeps me humbled and honored to serve Him and His people.

The Jesus Book Michael KoulianosI have come across a lot of books that talk about Jesus, but none have painted the picture of who Jesus really was and is like The Jesus Book by Michael Koulianos, founder of Jesus Image out of Orlando, FL. The Jesus Book is a night stand book. It’s one of those books that you keep by your bed and before you go to sleep you’ll read a little and uncover another truth about whom Jesus is. It is well written and easy to read; the type of book that you will read once, twice, and go back for more after that. It

will want to give to everyone you know. I highly recommend it. In the book, Michael Koulianos, attempts to expose sides of Jesus that the world may have over looked and push us to a place where nothing matters but Him. And in my opinion, He did an incredible job at it. He says, “Jesus does

is the destination.” If you’ve never met Him or have known Him all your life, this book will introduce you to a side of Him that you have never seen before. The Jesus Book puts into perspective the multiple hats that Jesus wears daily. Like the rest of us, He doesn’t just take one role at a time and that’s it. Me… I’m not just a wife, but I’m a mother. I’m a sister. I’m a student. I’m a friend. Michael Koulianos points out that Jesus is a Lover. He’s a Seeker. He’s God, a King, the Lord, a Healer, a Friend, and

the end of each chapter he concludes with a prayer that will push you further into a relationship with that side of Jesus. Michael Koulianos begins this amazing book with a chapter entitled “Lover”. It is an incredible depiction of a love story

and Jesus’ hearts cry to love us and to be loved by us. He writes, “He is incredibly passionate about each and every one of us… He can hardly wait for you to experience Him as your One True Love”

simpler can it be put. The Jesus Book will take you on a journey of discovery and, if you let it, wil l ultimately change your perspective

on the person of Christ. Simply put, The Jesus Book is a book all about Jesus.

About the author Michael Koulianos Evangelist, Author

and co-­host of Jesus Image’s TV program “Living for Jesus”, was born in Tarpon Springs, Florida. He gave his heart to Jesus Christ at the age of 12. That same year

At the age of 16, in a school founded by his parents, Theo and Evelyn Koulianos, Michael started a meet-­ing with 6 students. Within a few weeks, these services grew to capacity crowds as the Holy Spirit began to draw young people from all denominations and backgrounds to Jesus Christ. Hundreds of lives were changed during these amazing gatherings.

Michael married his wife Jessica in 2004. Shortly thereafter, he was ordained into the ministry. He has assisted in some of the largest evangelistic meetings in history, with millions in attendance. In 2005, he was given the privilege of being the lead Pastor of World Healing Center Church in Orange County, California.

After a series of supernatural events, in October of 2007, Michael’s life was forever changed in a church in West-­port, CT. It was here that the power of God overwhelmed him like it did when he was a twelve year old. Now Michael has one desire to love Jesus and introduce Him to as many people as possible. His life’s call is to be used of God to reveal His Son to the world by the Power of the Holy Spirit.

This would eventually lead to the founding of Jesus Image, the evangelistic ministry of the Koulianos family. Jesus Image is focused on winning cities, nations and the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

He is also the author of the life-­changing book – The Jesus Book

The Post-­

Workout

Meal

EXERCISE:

Recovering from exercise is an important part of the athlete’s routine. Post-­workout foods and drinks can affect recovery by affecting fatigue,

repletion of glycogen stores, and preparation for future bouts of exercise.

For the recreational exerciser, one who exercises 3-­4 days/week, overall good nutrition is most important for maintenance of glycogen stores, and so

muscles will have enough time to rest and recover between workouts. For the more vigorous exerciser, one who exercises multiple times/day, performs

competitively, or is in training for a sport, refueling muscle glycogen stores and assisting the body in recovery is of utmost importance. Repletion of

nutrients lost through dietary intake is an essential component in maximizing the body’s performance.

promotion of water balance are best managed by drinking water throughout the workout, as well as after exercise is completed. Good choices include:

– Watermelon – Melon

– Grapes – Oranges

Repletion of muscle glycogen stores

To best promote repletion of muscle glycogen stores, consume carbohydrate-­rich foods within

15 minutes after the workout has ended. Athletes should aim for 1 gram (g) of carbohydrate for

every 2 pounds (lb) of body weight/hour, taken at 30-­minute intervals over 4-­5 hours.

Example: A 150-­lb person should have 75g of carbohydrate or 300 carbohydrate

each half hour for the next 3-­4 hours to maximize glycogen repletion.

300-­calorie ideas:

Protein repletion after a serious workout is less of a key player in the recovery diet, but a little protein can enhance glycogen replacement initially

after exercise. The American diet is ubiquitous in protein, and added protein is not essential in the post-­workout routine.

Repletion of sodium, potassium, and electrolytes

Repletion of sodium, potassium and electrolytes (sometimes lost through sweating) is easy to do through foods. Supplementation generally is not

recommended. The following are common recovery foods, which are high in essential electrolytes:

Proper cool down

A proper cool down period of light exercise is essential in removing lactic acid buildup and promoting repletion of glycogen

in periods of rest, in order to prevent overtraining and assure best recovery.

It often is helpful to have a few post-­workout meals in each athlete’s repertoire, as variety is essential in promotion of best-­

nutrient absorption.
