My Faith Looks Up To Thee I Am On The Battlefield
Verse I Chorus
My faith looks up to Thee, I am on the battlefield for my Lord,
Thou Lamb of Calvary, Savior divine! I’m on the battlefield for my Lord;
Now hear me while I pray, And I promised Him that I would serve Him till I die.
Take all my guilt away, I’m on the battlefield for my Lord.
O let me from this day be wholly Thine!
Verse I
Verse II I was alone and idle, I was a sinner too,
May Thy rich grace impart I heard a voice from heaven, Say there is work to do,
Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; I took the Master’s hand,
As Thou hast died for me, And I joined the Christian band,
O may my love to Thee I’m on the battlefield for my Lord.
Pure, warm and changeless be, A living fire! (Repeat Chorus)

Verse III Verse II

While life’s dark maze I tread, I left my friends and kindred
And griefs around me spread, Bound for the Promised Land,
Be Thou my guide; The grace of God upon me, The Bible in my hand,
Bid darkness turn today, In distant lands I trod,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away, Crying sinner come to God,
Nor let me ever stray from Thee aside. I’m on the battlefield for my Lord.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse IV
When ends life’s transient dream, Verse III
When death’s cold, sullen stream shall o’er me roll; Now when I met my Savior,
Blest Savior, then, in love, I met Him with a smile,
Fear and distrust remove; He healed my wounded spirit,
O bear me safe above, A ransomed soul! And owned me as His child,
Around the throne of grace,
He appoints my soul a place,
I’m on the battlefield for my Lord.
(Repeat Chorus)

 UNISON SCRIPTURE
7:30 a.m., 6:00 p.m.
GALATIANS 6:1–10 (NRSV)
1
My friends, if anyone is detected in a
transgression, you who have received the
Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of
gentleness. Take care that you yourselves are
not tempted. 2Bear one another’s burdens, and
in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
3
For if those who are nothing think they are
something, they deceive themselves. 4All must
test their own work; then that work, rather
than their neighbor’s work, will become a
cause for pride. 5For all must carry their own
loads. 6Those who are taught the word must
share in all good things with their teacher. 7Do
not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you
reap whatever you sow. 8If you sow to your
own flesh, you will reap corruption from the
flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap
eternal life from the Spirit. 9So let us not grow
weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at
harvest time, if we do not give up. 10 So then,
whenever we have an opportunity, let us work
for the good of all, and especially for those of
the family of faith.

1
Now Jephthah the Gileadite, the son of a
prostitute, was a mighty warrior. Gilead was
the father of Jephthah. 2Gilead’s wife also bore
him sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up,
they drove Jephthah away, saying to him, “You
Sunday, January 28, 2007  © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
shall not inherit anything in our father’s house;
for you are the son of another woman.” 3Then
Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the
land of Tob. Outlaws collected around Jephthah
and went raiding with him. 4After a time the
Ammonites made war against Israel. 5And
when the Ammonites made war against Israel,
the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah
from the land of Tob. 6They said to Jephthah,
“Come and be our commander, so that we
may fight with the Ammonites.” 7But Jephthah
said to the elders of Gilead, “Are you not the
very ones who rejected me and drove me out
of my father’s house? So why do you come to
me now when you are in trouble?” 8The elders
of Gilead said to Jephthah, “Nevertheless, we
have now turned back to you, so that you may
go with us and fight with the Ammonites, and
become head over us, over all the inhabitants
of Gilead.” 9Jephthah said to the elders of
Gilead, “If you bring me home again to fight
with the Ammonites, and the Lord gives them
over to me, I will be your head.” 10And the
elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “The Lord
will be witness between us; we will surely do as
you say.” 11So Jephthah went with the elders
of Gilead, and the people made him head and
commander over them; and Jephthah spoke all
his words before the Lord at Mizpah.

Dr. Waldo Johnson elected
National Co-Chair Council on
Contemporary Families
T
he board of directors of
the Council on
Contemporary Families
(CCF) recently elected
our member, Dr. Waldo
E. Johnson, Jr., as its
national co-chair. Dr.
Johnson will serve a three-year term as
national co-chair, and he joins Steven Mintz,
professor of history, at the
University of Houston, who is
completing a three-year stint as
CCF national co-chair.
Founded in 1996, CCF
is a non-profit, non-partisan
organization of family researchers
and practitioners that seek to
further a national understanding
of how America’s families are
changing and what is known
about the strengths and
weaknesses of different family forms and
various family interventions. The Council
helps keep journalists informed of notable
work on family-related issues via the CCF
Network.
Dr. Johnson has served on the CCF board
of directors since 2000, chaired the 2003
CCF Annual Conference and serves as co-
Sunday, January 28, 2007  © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
chair of CCF’s 10th Anniversary Conference
to be held at the University of Chicago on
May 4 and May 5, 2007.
Waldo is associate professor at the
University of Chicago’s School of Social
Service Administration (SSA) and director
of the Center for the Study of Race, Politics
and Culture (CSRPC), an interdisciplinary
university-wide research program dedicated to
promoting engaged scholarship
and debate around the topics of
race and ethnicity. The Center is
especially interested in how
these ideas and their structural
manifestations impact and shape
people’s daily lives.
Researchers affiliated with the
Center recognize the significance
of the black/white paradigm in
the United States; however, they
are committed to expanding
the study of race beyond the black/white
paradigm. Broadly, the forty-three faculty
affiliates in addition to postdoctoral fellows,
graduate and undergraduate students are
engaged in the study of race and processes of
racialization in comparative and transnational
frameworks.
Thus, the work of faculty affiliates ranges
 Order
PASTOR’S
of Worship
PAGE
from an examination of processes of racialization
among dominant groups to the study of
racialized minorities within the United States
and black/white indigenous populations in
Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Asian
Pacific and Europe. Central to the Center’s
mission is the acknowledgement that race and
ethnicity intersect with other primary identities
such as gender, class, sexuality and nationality,
necessitating the exploration of social and
identity cleavages within racialized communities.
Dr. Johnson is also national convener of the
Twenty-First Century Foundation Black Men
Black Boy Initiative. He serves on the Senior
Advisory Committee for the United Way of
Metropolitan Chicago African American Male
Initiative and the Chicago Community Trust
African American Male Initiative, and he is
the chair of the African American and African
Diaspora Research and Practice Presentation
Track for the 2007 Annual Program Meeting of
the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE)
scheduled for November in San Francisco.
A graduate of Mercer University in Macon,
GA, Waldo earned a B.A. degree in English and
sociology, an M.S.W. degree in community
development and administration from the
School of Social Work at the University of
Michigan and a Ph.D. in social policy from the
School of Social Service Administration of the
University of Chicago.
He was a Ford Foundation Postdoctoral
Fellow at the Poverty Research and Training
Sunday, January 28, 2007  © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
Program and the Program for Research on Black
Americans at the Institute for Social Research,
both at the University of Michigan. Waldo
serves on the board of directors for the Society
for Social Work Research and the Institute for
the Advancement of Social Work Research.
Dr. Johnson has also been a visiting research
scholar at the University of Alabama at
Tuscaloosa; University of Michigan, Ann
Arbor; the University of Wisconsin, Madison;
Cornell University; and the London School of
Economics.
Waldo Johnson is a proud member of
the Men’s Chorus and the Scholarship and
Education Ministry Partners of Trinity United
Church of Christ. He has served as a trainer for
the HIV/AIDS Ministry and is a member of the
Long Range Planning Education Committee.
His first book, What Have We Seen With Our
Own Eyes: Social Work and Social Welfare
Responses to African American Males, will be
published by Oxford University Press in early
2008! Thank God for dedicated brothers like
Waldo Johnson. Be sure to show him some
love today!

f the proposed county budget is passed,
Cook County will need to be renamed
Chaos County.
Currently, this department helps convicted
women who suffer from mental illness to remain
in their children’s lives. Through treatment and
classes, these women are allowed to report to
jail every day to pay their debt to society and
gain treatment for their illness. The proposed
budget eliminates this program.
Our member, Vernita Mitchell, is currently
employed by the Cook County Sheriff’s Office
in their Office of Youth Service Development.
The vision statement of the department is:
“The youth in Cook County are safe, drug-free,
healthy and knowledgeable.” With the proposed
budget, this will be eliminated.
Other casualties of the proposed budget cuts
include eliminating Pediatric and OB/GYN
services at Provident Hospital, and closing many
free clinics in many of the neighborhoods where
working poor people live. These are people who
go to work every day, and pay taxes, yet their
government can not seem to find the means to
take care of them.
Let us be clear — the issue is finding a
way to get quality services to all the people of
Cook County, not just the ones who can afford
services. That being said, I urge you to demand
that your state and federally elected officials find
a way to ensure that this budget is balanced for
Sunday, January 28, 2007 10 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
all, and not on the backs of the poor. I entreat
you to contact your County Commissioner, and
urge them to find another way to balance the
budget without decreasing services to the poor
and indigent, especially in the way of health
care. I also encourage you to contact your State
Senator and State Representative and insist that
they pressure the Governor to release the 65% of
funds from the Federal Government. Attend the
Cook County Budget Hearings to let your voice
be heard!
Below you will find the names of the County
Commissioners. You may find out your County
Commissioner by going to www.co.cook.il.us/

Thought for this week: It often seems as if everyone is multitasking
Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, what are these days. In fact, many people even bring lap-
you doing for others? top computers to do work while they’re vacation-
— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ing. When everyone is so busy, sometimes stew-
ardship of time and also talent (which requires
time) can get “lost in the shuffle.” We should
remember, however, that stewardship doesn’t
prevent us from accomplishing other things.
When we’re mowing someone’s lawn or rak-
ing leaves for a shut-in, we are exercising, even
though we haven’t been to the gym lately. When
we help wash dishes during a church dinner or
make sandwiches for the homeless, we have the
opportunity to visit with people we might not
see otherwise; and socializing helps us feel better
when things are rough elsewhere.
God knows about these benefits. Perhaps part of
the reason God commands us to be good stewards
of time is to help ourselves, not just others.
