Christians need to stop saying they are not in a religion but in a relationship, as if they are mutually exclusive. That claim has been used as a means to cover carnality. Born again Christians are required to follow the same commandments that the people they refer to as religious are trying to follow, but... Continue Reading →
Sankofa is the process of understanding where you are by a truthful evaluation of the circumstances that got you to your “here”. That means owning the present outcomes since they are largely based on the values and beliefs you exercised in your decision making. We don’t always get to choose the particular options before us...

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 →
One of the most difficult things I have seen Christians struggle with is having a healthy level of detachment from this current world.

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 →
”But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” (Matthew 15:9 KJV) In Christendom, there are many commandments of men which have supporting false doctrines that attempt to validate them. I have often denounced these doctrines of men in the books and articles I have written, and during encounters with... Continue Reading →
When faced with challenges and difficulties, it is important that our faith and trust remain in GOD. Trusting in GOD looks a lot different than trusting in your own strength. What is known as the “fall of man” occurred when Adam and Eve decided to make a go at life without trusting GOD as life.... Continue Reading →
