Ephesians 3:17-19
I have a strong desire to see the Church model unity for the world. When I say unity, I am referring to the unity spoken of by Christ and his first disciples.

Have you ever looked at your life in comparison to others and thought, why couldn’t that have happened for me?

The lyrics of the song illuminated how much more my love has to grow to truly reflect my... Continue Reading →
A Christian brother of mine, who happens to be White, recently asked me to help him understand the grievances I have with identifying America as a Nation founded on Christian values.
