Disturbing Statistics: An Awakening to the Christian Community

By Dr. Geneva Scott-King and Pastor Corey L. King Sr.

This book arose out of a prophetic dream in the night. The voice of God commanded a report to Christians to push them further into their divine destiny and inheritance. So often, Christians undermine their position in the world.

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid (Matthew 5:14 KJV).

Come forth and produce your fruit in its season; It is harvest time!

You have awakened many people through your preaching and teaching. God knows and sees your labor of love! Thank You, C.J. and Mason, my sons, for being quiet long enough for me to hear a word from the Lord. You all made this process much longer than anticipated, but we did it!

This book is written in memory of my Pastor throughout life and spiritual father, the late Rev. Dr. I. L. Mullins, Sr., the former Pastor of First Missionary Baptist Church of Thomasville, Georgia, and his widow, Mrs. Josephine Lovejoy Mullins.

Secondly, I would like to dedicate this book in memory of my watch care Pastor, the late Bishop Dr. Larry D. Manning, Sr. and Dr. Angela Manning who contributed to my spiritual upbringing. Your works of love will never be forgotten in my heart!

Foreword by Pastor, Corey King, Sr.

Dr. Geneva Scott-King has looked into the Christian Church and exposed the tactics that aim to handicap the church. Her abundance of experiences in life as well as her academic studies has made her capable of chronicling the exploits. I do believe that this book will serve as a reference of both defense and stimulation to combat situations that the enemy has used to defeat God’s people.

Dr. Scott-King has contributed a tremendous tool to the body of Christ by releasing statistical data along with a rich wealth of Biblical wisdom. This book can help prevent unhealthy habits and rituals in the Christian church. I expect this book to be a blessing to those who serve in the church at home and abroad.

The Prophet Isaiah said in Chapter 58:1 KJV, Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a trumpet and show my people their transgressions. Lady King has been obedient and yielded her time and voice as an instrument to allow God’s people to identify their errors and redeem the time….

Statistics are figures obtained through research, whether through numbers or words. This information is collected to have an impact on society to cause awareness and change. Sometimes, statistics vary in their significance, but the information still sparks conversation and introspection. The holy spirit has moved on me to report some intriguing statistical information that affect Christians and promote change in the Christian believer. The significance and research sources vary but the themes conveyed are analyzed. Respect is given to people that have other beliefs. Also, other religions are acknowledged, but this book is intended for those that claim
