I was thinking back to what people would go through to get a bargain on "Black Friday". It has become known as the day of the greatest deals before Christmas. I don’t think it is ironic but rather strategic that one of the greatest displays of covetousness now traditionally occurs right after a Holiday observed... Continue Reading →
Abundant Life Through the Vine
Living the priorities of GOD will drive you to the body of Christ. I say this because through living, I have found the body of believers in Christ very essential to my wellbeing. Only they seem to understand and support the things I seek and battle for in this life. Not everyone seeks to live... Continue Reading →
Truth Facilitates the Breakthrough
There has been a lot of silence in the church regarding the evils of America. GOD says a key expression of love is correction. If you love America, then don’t let the nation be spoiled by withholding correction. As Christians, we have to be faithful and true to GOD, which is the same as being... Continue Reading →
Embracing A Healthy Detachment from This World
One of the most difficult things I have seen Christians struggle with is having a healthy level of detachment from this current world. When I say world, I am referring to “world” in the biblical sense of the following verse: 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world,... Continue Reading →

Reconciliation Through the Cross: We die individually but we are raised together
A good brother of mine shared a podcast with me recently that has a focus on the work of racial reconciliation. As Christians, the message we have been called to share is the redeeming message of reconciliation to the Father through the Son. It is in the context of that reconciliation that we are reconciled...

Beware of Private Interpretations that Hide Truth
Your relationship with GOD is personal in that no one else can believe for you or worship for you. Each of those requires a personal knowing of GOD from our own heart. However, getting to that place and remaining in that place, by GOD’s design, involves the whole body of Christ. Understand, for the maturing... Continue Reading →
Insights for My Black Brothers
First, let me say that I realize we are men first created in GOD’s image, and then we have our tribal and national ethnicities. To be more correct, we are men that are Black and not Black men, if you can hear me. I also realize that “Black” is just a man contrived social designation... Continue Reading →
