I have seen at times within myself and in others, inconsistency. That doesn’t sound too bad or alarming because most of us struggle with inconsistency in some areas.

[SNCC singing "We Shall Overcome" 1966 photo New York Times] In America, most people would consider me to be a black man or an African-American man. Take notice that in both instances race and ethnicity comes first, then “man”. Most people even see themselves as either a black person or a white person and so... Continue Reading →
The Lord loves judgment. To be more specific, He loves righteous judgment, and He has been clear about what that is. We need judgment on the basis of these facts: We are not building our own kingdom, we are building the Kingdom of the Lord, therefore we must use His standards. Everyone who builds must...

One of my spiritual mentors, Dr. Myles Munroe once said, “Where purpose is unknown, abuse is inevitable.” There is something unique and beautiful GOD has given us in the heart of Woman that has been historically neglected and abused to the hurt of the world. I pray for Women to have the strength and courage to live from the heart their divine purpose, and I pray that men would learn to care for the lives of women as they care for their own lives. Its time to change women’s history.
Recently, I attended a Men’s bible study where there were several men that had wives, mothers, and sisters that had battled or were in battle with breast cancer. I was moved by their testimonies as they shared their experiences. One guy was asked if he was ready to nurture his wife with love as she prepared for her first round of “chemo” because she was known to be physically attractive with long blonde hair and some physical changes could be on the horizon.
