"And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!" (Mark 4:41 NKJV) Christ commands the wind which lifts every flag.

That Didn’t Hurt!…Really?
"That didn't hurt!" Not acknowledging the pain may stroke your pride but it doesn't bring true healing. It doesn't remove the poisonous venom of the serpent which bit you. Black people do not take power back from white supremacist by fondly calling each other the "N" word. Neither does women take power back from misogynist... Continue Reading →
