Legendary preacher Dr. Michael L. Pfleger talks about "Reversing the Current" in this sermon (below) from two weeks ago. Dr. Pfleger is the Pastor of the St. Sabina Church of Chicago Illinois.
Topics include the need for a sense of urgency to make change, the need to serve, his fight to change the conditions in the inner city, his campaign against negative Rap music, and the death threats that he has to deal with.
Dr. Pfleger has been working at the grassroots level for many years to fight for justice and to fight to clean up conditions in troubled neighborhoods in Chicago and other cities around the country. He is also the principle force behind the campaign to put up anti-gangster rap billboards around vulnerable parts of the city. This campaign has now moved to other parts of the country.
Dr. Pfleger is no stranger to dealing with billboards. He is the man who worked for years to get liquor and tobacco billboards removed from Chicago's poor neighborhoods. He still holds on to the old tradition of preaching... not giving in to the mega-church model.
I first discovered Dr. Pfleger about 4 or 5 years ago.... I don't agree with all of his positions.... but I love his courage.
