Love is splendid, gracious favor, adoration, and kindness, which comes to you as a blessing from heaven. You must receive this Love in surrender and humility or else you will resist it (often unconsciously) trying to find fault with it, because the awareness of your own faults and shortcomings will tell you, it is too...

“Just Mercy” …A Nice Peep
I saw the movie “Just Mercy” yesterday. It is the story of Bryan Stevenson, the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative organization. There is a scripture that says, the Lord is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. GOD is Truth and Light, and this movie does a great job of telling how Mr.... Continue Reading →

Life is GREAT!
A close brother of mine recently remarked that “Life” is fragile, and that “Life” is hard. Both statements just rubbed me the wrong way. It is because for me “Life” is YAHWEH; the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. YAHWEH is not easily broken or destroyed as defined by the word fragile. He is my... Continue Reading →
Get Real in Order to Get Free
Salvation is real, but in order to realize deliverance, we must get real too. Your problem is not addiction to pornography, your problem is clicking the link. Your problem is not alcoholism, your problem is buying the alcohol. Your problem is not addiction to sex, your problem is hooking up. Before you judge me as... Continue Reading →
Roaring For Peace
Remembering the Lion King!
Remembering the Lion King!
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is memorialized as a drum major of peace, and rightly so, as all drum majors do, he brought the noise. The noise that he brought was music to the people but an awful ruckus to the powers of this age. The sounds of justice and equality were so disturbing to the government of his day that he was assassinated. Malcolm X is the one that is always thought of as the militant one but I propose that King was just as militant, if not more so, he just chose different weaponry. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. combated the evil of his day with a barrage of love.

Any time you fail to show this to another person, in that moment, you are being inhumane. I know what it is like to be... Continue Reading →
Being Strong in the Power of His Might
I was asked by a brother recently for help understanding the Apostle Paul’s thorn in the flesh, spoken of in 2 Corinthian’s 12:7-10. When looking at this block of scripture, I have found that conversation often looms around what the thorn was, however it is not as important as why the thorn was there. The... Continue Reading →
A love more fervent than the sun.
This feels a bit like kissing and telling, but I don't think my Heavenly Father will mind. I noticed while lying in bed this morning that my furnace was struggling to come on. So, I got up, put on some clothes, and started working to resolve the issue. The furnace seemed totally unresponsive to the... Continue Reading →
