It is with profound sadness, we announce the passing of our beloved pastor, Reverend Dr. Calvin O. Butts, lll, who peacefully transitioned in the early morning of October 28, 2022. The Butts Family & entire Abyssinian Baptist Church membership solicit your prayers.

@DerykHayes Yep

[Watson Jones III @WatsonJones3]

Jesus said things like “blessed are the peacemakers” and “love and pray for your enemies.” Yet, it baffles me how some who claim to follow him will at the same time argue FOR owning and possessing high powered riffles.

The math and mathin’

[Watson Jones III @WatsonJones3]

There is no reason why a civilian needs to own a high powered riffle… PERIOD.

“There were white people who enslaved black people. But there where white and black abolitionists too. People fear that talking about slavery will make white kids feel guilty. Why can’t we teach white kids to identify with those who were white abolitionist?” @DrIbram

[Charlie Dates @CharlieDates]

To all of my White clergy brothers and sisters, hear my heart on this one. We need your help. These are your Senators who sit in your districts and listen to your preaching. Help us.

What was happening here???

[Watson Jones III @WatsonJones3]

It is terribly infuriating when you to see the tentacles of white supremacy and notions of white normalcy etching internal messages of inferiority on the hearts of your African American children.

[Dr. Eric Mason @pastoremase]

Let’s stop the madness! If you don’t believe in Jesus, cool! But saying He didn’t exist is emotional and herd mentality not intellectually stout! #Jesus #Christianity #History #Bible #truth #church

[Watson Jones III @WatsonJones3]

@esaumccaulley @LisaVFields @jude3project @CharlieDates Did I read that right????? No Spades???? How is that possible?

[Watson Jones III @WatsonJones3]

@DerykHayes I go primarily for meetings. During the pandemic I’ve built out a sufficient home study.

[Watson Jones III @WatsonJones3]

@reborn_spirit1 Very uplifting.

[Watson Jones III @WatsonJones3]

In pastoral ministry we are privileged to be invited into peoples lives and brought near to their hearts. Sometimes people lead you on the inward path toward their bleeding pain. The closer you get to it, you begin to hear the weeping of a wounded soul.

[Watson Jones III @WatsonJones3]

But still I find hope.

There is healing in Jesus.

[Watson Jones III @WatsonJones3]

At that moment, your heart breaks. Your eyes feel with tears when you see what was stolen away by their trauma.
