Ephesians 3:17-19
In 2021, Juneteenth became a federal holiday in the US. I was asked recently why I didn’t celebrate it. I observe the holiday but can’t say that I celebrate it. I understand why the enslaved Black people in Texas, after realizing for the first time that they had been liberated from institutionalized human slavery, joyously... Continue Reading →
The most antagonistic anti-Christians aren’t those most people assume they are. They are predominantly the every Sunday morning, bible carrying, quoting scripture out of context, evangelical, all we need is more love types. In current day, these are people trying to make their ministries successful by focusing on not making the same errors of past... Continue Reading →
Over the years, I have written and spoken often about how crucial it is to embrace truth when it is revealed. In this world where ignorance and lies have been weaponized against us, the knowledge of truth is vital to life. The truth is as vital to life as food, shelter, and water. In the...

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 →

We see that a lot today in people declaring their own truth. Truth is divine reality... Continue Reading →
The official theme of Black History month 2023 is “Black Resistance”. When people hear Black resistance, they think about the Civil Rights movement and all forms of social protest Black people have engaged in throughout history. Through resisting the oppression of life, inequality, and marginalization, Black people have not only won improvements for themselves, but... Continue Reading →
I was thinking back to what people would go through to get a bargain on "Black Friday". It has become known as the day of the greatest deals before Christmas. I don’t think it is ironic but rather strategic that one of the greatest displays of covetousness now traditionally occurs right after a Holiday observed... Continue Reading →
Living the priorities of GOD will drive you to the body of Christ. I say this because through living, I have found the body of believers in Christ very essential to my wellbeing. Only they seem to understand and support the things I seek and battle for in this life. Not everyone seeks to live... Continue Reading →
