Ephesians 3:17-19
A task that has been pressed upon me lately is making sure all those who seek to follow Christ understand the holy priesthood they are being called to. This priesthood is an election where GOD alone elects the priest. You will certainly be disqualified if you are seeking to please men because GOD alone is... Continue Reading →
Guard against following your own carnal wisdom and submit to the higher calling of GOD to walk after Spirit and Truth. Ever since man was introduced to the knowledge of good and evil, he has been reasoning his way through life. While this is truly a reasonable way to go through life it is not the...

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. People who have spent much time around me hear me emphasize this a lot. It is because the understanding of GOD is hidden from those who have not bowed their own reasonings to the authoritative rule of GOD. In this present age it is really... Continue Reading →
The scripture says as many as are led by the Spirit of GOD are the sons (children) of GOD. Of all the influences around us, nothing should be more influential on us than the Spirit of GOD. Many Christians quote 1st John 4, where he says, “Greater is He that is in you than he... Continue Reading →
The Lord commands us to love Him with all of our heart, mind, and strength. In other words, with everything we have. To many people this command doesn’t sound reasonable, or it can seem a bit excessive. However, when you consider that YAHWEH is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, can you really love...

A perspective I have been enjoying recently is the idea of the Lord inviting us into His greater story by making us letters read of all men, as Paul writes about in the book of 2 Corinthians. The question is, are we willing to be a chapter in His story (history)? Can He use us... 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...

The ways of GOD are not the ways of this world, so many of His principles come across as counter intuitive. Like lowering ourselves to the occasion instead of raising ourselves. The scripture says if we humble ourselves before GOD then He will lift us up. When we humble ourselves in acknowledgement that is not... Continue Reading →
Since this article is about saving the “soul”, let me start with a definition of the soul. I think Noah Webster offered a great definition that is in harmony with biblical text. The spiritual, rational and immortal substance in man, which distinguishes him from brutes; that part of man which enables him to think and... Continue Reading →
Worship plain and simple means “to bow down to,” originating from the Hebrew word “shachah". We see it in the passage of Psalms 29:2 “Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” Throughout scripture you will see the phrase “they fell down and worshiped Him.” ...
