In my opinion, these days, "no church should go unchecked." In fact, congregations should be knowledgeable of every cent that comes in, as well as how cents get spent. How cool would that be? Oh...believe me, "I know this idea puts a bad taste in mouths of many religious leaders." But; inquiring minds want to know "why would this thought rub religious leaders the wrong way?" Well, we know the answer to that. Bottom line, in every church there are a chosen few, who know just how much m...

RE-POST 10/02/11 Did you know that God laid out a foundation for successful relationships, and that his foundation encompasses unions of every kind? At the core of this foundation is endearment, commitment and yes____ faithfulness. God expects us to be faithful to one another. In fact God is so serious about faithfulness being a part of everything good in our lives, that He prohibited "unfaithfulness" in marriages, or the breaching of marriage vows, "in the Ten Commandments." And...

Re: Joshua Chapter 21: 44 -45 The Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had sworn to their forefathers. Not one of their enemies withstood them; The Lord handed all of their enemies over to them. 45 Not one of all the Lord's good promises to the house ofIsrael failed; this was true for all these towns. How comforting to know "The Lord never breaks a promise on either side." Why can't we be more like him? I know thousands of hungry children ask that question ever...

Sometimes it is difficult to understand how the Lord would make days that cause us pain. At times it seems He does this even before He prepares us, to accept that which He deems "no more than we can bear." When this happens, it's not long before we shift into full throttle, testing our diminutive levels of wisdom, which only serve to fall short. And though we might feel like we need to be proactive and do something earth shattering, to make it go away, usually we can't. So: "This is the ...

Re-post From 11/19/2011 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always generous and lend freely; their children are blessed. – Psalm 37:25-26 Give to an outreach I've thought a lot about the state of christianity these days and I have to say I'm concerned. It seems as if scores of people have traded in God's promise of salvation to experience temporary pleasures of Satan's pander. The most disturbin...

"This writer understands there are times when abortion is medically necessary, and that there are times in life we have to take it to the Lord in prayer." However, generally speaking; "If you believe in God, you can't believe abortion's don't kill unborn babies." No matter how many so-called smart people try to say differently.....truth prevails. The truth I speak of can only be found in God's Word. And, because of that; you have to be a believer to understand "why abortion is mu...

Today is the day we commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, all over the world. That being said...this day is not about church fashion shows, new outfits and the like. Instead Easter Sunday is set aside for Christians to remember that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and was resurrected. Additionally..WHEN THEY NAILED JESUS TO THE CROSS He was not decked out in royal rags or new Diggs...... "Word" This fact alone should help us understand the tragedy in commercializing ...

The Chicago Daily Defender posted an article which depicts a father talking about "the unspoken code" that black families have had to live by for decades. Now to acknowledge the code "as a black man" you have to kinda step back in time. This presents a problem for most of our young people. You see they don't acknowledge, accept nor adhere to "the code" because in their mind, "they don't feel they have to." This thought process is prevalent in all races of young people these days, not ju...

I've thought a lot about heaven lately, wondering how it will be living there. There's no doubt in my mind God's eyes are in overdrive. There's just so much to look at down here in the last days. Sadly, most of what He sees is not pleasing in his eyes. I wonder if the world knows that Heaven knows? The older I get the more I understand what went wrong down here on earth. And even though I hear people talking about how the world's gonna get better....I know better. Unfortunately... h...

Of course God never gives us more than we can bear....but if you know like I know; "sometimes it just doesn't seem that way." Over the last few weeks I've felt as if I had more than my share of life's afflictions. It even got to a point where I was asking myself..."when will this merry-go-round of "ups N downs" stop going round'?" All I wanted was a breather, a hiccup or a pause from chaos. Unfortunately, I even allowed my ups and downs to block my ability to post, even p...

I've learned that my fuel for courage is the Lord. He is always with me when I am with him and; He says that if I seek him, I will find him. God wants us to turn to him even when we're not in distress. Yep..for many of us this is not easy to do. Actually, "we forget about God too often" especially when the going is good. It's after the going get's tough and the good is gone___we seek him." Essentially, "when we have no one else to turn to; no place to run and nowhere to hide, we ca...

Image via Wikipedia Whoa....81 year old Pastor Pat Robertson says it's time to legalize marijuana. His reason being...as told to "Jesse McKinley of "The New York Times"....“I really believe we should treat marijuana the way we treat beverage alcohol,” What? Well, while I'm not a big fan of Pat Robertson, I'm with him on this. The number of people America has imprisoned for non-violent crimes is simply disgraceful. It's gotten so bad people are afraid to even celebrate in the p...
