Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie « This is Your Wake Up Call!

Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie

serves as the 117th elected and consecrated bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Her historic election in the year 2000 represents the first time in the over 200-year history of the A.M.E. Church, in which a woman had obtained the level of Episcopal office.

Bishop McKenzie is honored to serve as the presiding prelate of the 13th Episcopal District that includes the State of Tennessee and Commonwealth of Kentucky. Her husband, Stan McKenzie serves as the Supervisor of Missions.

Bishop McKenzie is the author of four books. The first two, Not without a Struggle and Strength in the Struggle concerns leadership and professional growth for women. Journey to the Well helps women seek new directions for personal growth and transformation following the footsteps of the Biblical Samaritan woman.

Her latest book is Swapping Housewives. It is the story of Rachel & Jacob & Leah. The ancient Biblical story has 21st century implications for married and unmarried love.

She is a graduate of the University of Maryland, College Park; holds a Master of Divinity from Howard University School of Divinity and has earned a Doctor of Ministry degree from United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio.

Good Morning Bishop,

What a wonderful “Wake up call” as always.

I would like to share a revelative statement on today:

It’s not that He won’t help you when the time is right. He loves you and will indeed supply and protect. But it would be a major distortion of our view of Christianity to see God as our sugar daddy, ready to jump every time we thought we needed a handout from Him. I sometimes wonder if heaven has a sign that says, “Don’t feed the Christians!” with the fine print reading, “They’ll think it’s all about the goodies”!
