Christians Discussing Politics and Social Issues

I am writing this post to my fellow brothers and sisters, who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, and whom trust in His finished work at the cross, alone, for their redemption. A close friend of mine was recently on a Leadership Call with two Pastors, whose churches have fellowshipped together for the…

In Whom Do You Trust?

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. Friends, the words trust in the Lord echo the command in Deuteronomy 6:5 To love God with all our beings. Trust is complemented by Lean. Trusting God is a conscious dependence on God. Today’s world seems to have…

You Can’t Make Sense Of Crazy

When we start talking about relationships, and how do you move forward? How can you live your life? One of the most important things I would tell somebody is that you have to develop a strategy for dealing with things that people say to you, or stuff that happens to you that does not make…

Check Those Attachments

Last Fall, I had an opportunity to mentor a young man, whom we will call Jordan for confidentiality purposes. After completing four years of college, Jordan had recently reconnected with a young woman, from his high school years, and they’d been dating for five months. Jordan’s parents were very concerned about how fast the relationship…

The Righteousness of God

Romans 5 explains that all of us inherited a sin nature from the first man, Adam. Despite our best efforts, none of us can redeem ourselves. In a world where people are applauded on a Performance-Based system, giving to charities, feeding the hungry, graduating at the top of our class, and earning our company millions…

A Godly Man

Genesis 1:26-28 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So…

Lord, Open Our Eyes

This sermon was recently preached by a pastor friend of mine, named, Elder Jay Hagans. Reference: II Kings 6:8-17 II Corinthians 4:3-4 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest…

Who Do You Want To Be?

Joshua 1:8-9 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I…

Racism

God makes it clear that no man or woman is superior to another. Racism – prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior. The civil rights movement happened over 50 years ago, yet we still have a lack of understanding about how…

Damaged Faith: Part 2

Here’s the second part of last Sunday’s message from Rosie S. Oneal. What happens is when your faith is truly damaged, and you don’t allow God to heal you…your faith will be fueled by filth. In other words, it is possible to do the right thing for the wrong reason. God says, in Isaiah 46,…
