Rev. John W. Coleman, Pastor

Good News Baptist Church, Petersburg, Virginia

Allow me to say, first of all, that I try extremely hard to continue to swim against the flowing tide of preachers who have been caught up and carried away in the rushing waters of political and social movements. My desire is to stay on a spiritual course and stick with my calling as pastor/teacher. The Apostle Paul said: "For I determined not  to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified" (I Corinthians 2:2). That, too, is my primary objective in life. Yet, there comes a time in one's life when one must address other issues as well. Paul did (Romans 13; I Timothy 2). Therefore, I beg your indulgence as I exercise one of the most basic of our Constitutional rights as free Americans--freedom of speech.
