I was riding down the road the other day and I saw a billboard that read, “After you die, you go to meet GOD,” then it was followed by a 1-800 number. My guess is that it was an evangelistic effort to encourage people to live differently today. While the intent is good, it falls... Continue Reading →
GOD has a purpose for everything, but for them to be fulfilled they have to be sanctified by the rule of the Spirit. For instance, GOD formed Eve and her daughters in such a way that they would be the perfect match for Adam and his sons. Into the design of both the male and... Continue Reading →
The Lord has given us many narratives in which to frame His magnanimous love for us. We have been given the narrative of a Father seeking to restore His family which has rejected Him, a Shepherd faithfully tending His wayward flock, the loving hands of a Great Potter restoring broken vessels to glory, a perfect...

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...

We see that a lot today in people declaring their own truth. Truth is divine reality... Continue Reading →
I read an article recently written by a Black woman, and her subject was why she no longer wanted to be identified as a “Strong Black Woman”. I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father has blessed me with sister love, which compelled to read it. To summarize, she stated that the pressure to always... Continue Reading →
Christians need to stop saying they are not in a religion but in a relationship, as if they are mutually exclusive. That claim has been used as a means to cover carnality. Born again Christians are required to follow the same commandments that the people they refer to as religious are trying to follow, but... Continue Reading →
Identity is the key to maintaining the narrow path of the spirit unto life. Merriam-Webster defines identity as the distinguishing character or personality of an individual; the condition of being the same with something described or asserted. For those who profess to be born again, that distinguishing character and something asserted that we are the... 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...
