COMMENTARY: SENIOR KAPPAS
"Chappie" James, Mayor Wilson Goode, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Arthur Ashe, and many others. Take Us Back. Let us not make past mistakes. During World War II, during the Battle of the Bulge, there was a group of Axis soldiers who dressed themselves in the uniforms of the Allies, went behind enemy lines, changing road signs to confuse Allied forces. This deception almost gave them the victory. We cannot let anyone purport to lead us, away the road signs of achievement in Kappa Alpha Psi ® . Some of them are: 1. Salvation through the Blood. 2. Belief in the infallible, inerrant, inspired word of God. 3. Love for the Church. 4. The reality of Heaven and Hell. 5. The value of the human soul. 6. The soon return of Jesus. 7. The holiness of God: we try to bring God down to man’s level. He is holy. Regardless of which signs the world changes, it does not change the road! The Word of God is still settled in Heaven. We still know the “old paths.”
There is no question about which way is the right way. And God’s requirement has not changed.
Take Us Back. As there is a reward that awaits. God’s promise to those who walk in his paths is that they will find rest for our souls. That is, in His paths we can be assured of three great truths. One: we can be sure that we will arrive at the proper destination! When we take the Lord’s highway, we can be sure that it will end in his presence! Two: we can travel in safety knowing that the Lord is guarding our way. Not only will we end up where we want to be, but we will get there in the safest, most peaceful manner possible. Three: we can know that while we are on the Lord’s path, the deepest needs of our soul will be met! There will be fellowship with Him and joy in His presence at the end of the way! However, those who fail to ask for the old paths (Our Senior Brothers) will find themselves walking in the ways of destruction and misery. When we turn our backs on the way God has chosen as the right way, we will find that the way is difficult, there is no peace or safety, and the destination is ever in question. There is a reward for those who will walk in the Lord’s pathway! Senior Kappas…Take Us Back.
