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...

Get On The Road to Greater Victory
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 →
Saving the Soul: A child will lead them
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 →
From A Talk I Gave On “Worship”
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.” ...

Soberness of Mind is the Fruit of Walking in Light of Truth
I was recently studying passages in the book of Matthew chapter 10. Over the last couple of days, I have been meditating on verses 27 and 28 in context of the chapter. 27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the... Continue Reading →
Balancing All with Truth
Only GOD is right about who He is, and only those who align their testimony of Him with His revealed word are bearing true witness of Him. He is faithful and true which means He is consistently the same. The varying ideas circulating about His will and character are due to people continually bringing their... Continue Reading →
Humbly Accepting Our Interdependence
What does it mean to be your brother’s keeper or your sister’s keeper? The word “keep” is synonymous with preserve. The ways of love are meant to preserve us all, and GOD is love. The ways of GOD are referred to in scripture as a holy salt because historically salt has been used as a... Continue Reading →
Understanding the correlation between the love of money and “All” the evil we face today?
The Apostle Paul wrote in a letter to Timothy that the love of money is the root of all evil. It is important to understand the basis of this statement because it takes us all the way back to Adam and Eve in the garden. There was no money or form of currency being exchanged... Continue Reading →
