I had a conversation with a friend the other day that was hoping to revitalize a community through revitalizing an old church positioned in the middle of it. He expressed some disappointment as he discovered the church leadership wasn’t willing to make some needed changes due to doctrinal beliefs. It seems the pulpit of the... Continue Reading →
Flipping the Switch to Empower New Life
None of us knew Adam, the first man, but we are all connected to him through physical birth. Adam passed to all of his descendants the defect of death. Now we all have an opportunity to be freed from this defect through becoming a descendant of Christ. The bible refers to Christ as the second... Continue Reading →
The Lord is My Shepherd; I Shall Not Want
Recently, I was examining my heart to see how much of what I do is motivated from a desire for validation. As I meditated on this, I realized that people look for validation from things that they think will add value to them. I decided to look up the word “validate” to see if my... Continue Reading →

The Holy Spirit has shown... Continue Reading →
Do Not Be Conformed But Be Transformed
Romans 12:2 Today I was listening to a song by Minister Fred Hammond called “How Do You Love That Way”. It is beautiful to me how Fred articulates his experience of being washed over with GOD’s love.

The journey and the destination are one.
The journey and the destination are one. You get to your destination by thoughtfully taking many individual steps. You hit your distant target by taking careful aim.
