Heart Check

Some people think that because they go to church, sing in the choir and tithe that they will get a blessing from God. When the blessing that they are looking for does not come, they get frustrated and sad asking the Lord,"Lord, I do all these things but yet I am still suffering!"...

Nothing's Happening

Just to be totally honest, I am at a point in my life where it seems as though nothing is happening. Well, I felt like that a few days ago. I looked at my situation, and I'm the type of person who likes to keep things moving, fast pace , and always something new. However, my days...

What Stops You?

Imagine going into a city to preach the word of God. When you get there you see that the people do not want you there, do not want to hear what you have to say, and want to hurt you for being there. God has told you to go to that city, yet everyone else in the city would prefer...

A Change is going to come

Many of you may think that you are in a bad situation and you are unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Do not fret because the Lord will never leave you nor forsake you. It may feel like everything and everyone is against you, but one thing that the bible says is in...

Echos of Your Life

It's some people you can just look at and know, "its something about them". You are able to look in their eyes and see their heart. Their actions are respectable, their words are words of wisdom, and their walk provides echos of the Word of God. Ask your self, "Am I one of these...

Get Comfortable being Uncomfortable

When you decide that you are ready to change your life and start living for Christ, you will see that you can not do the things that you use to do. If you are really living for Christ, you will not want to do the things that you use to do. Some people do not want to change because...

God's Love

I remember growing up how I hated the fact that so many kids became attached to my parents. My parents were mentors to many children my age at the time and I hated sharing their attention and even more I hated when they would call my parents "ma" or "dad". Looking back on it, it...

Reconstruction

Audio VersionOne of the most important thing that happens in your walk with Jesus is establishing and maintaining a relationship with God. It is a love relationship that is needed so that He can speak to you and you understand everything He is saying. January of this year I have...

Never Be A Victim of a Circumstance!

I read a scripture today that really spoke to me. I was a little down and confused about my situation, but the scripture cheered me up. The scripture was Ephesians 3 : 20 - 21 and it said"God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in...

Let's Get Reeeeaaaddddy to Ruuummmbbllleeee!

It seems that when you try to do right that EVERYTHING seems to go wrong. The devil will try his best to knock you off track. There is a scripture in Galatian 6:9-10 that says "So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop...

Off the Team

In addition to all the other things I do, I also coach a track team. Track has always been that one thing that I could relate to my own life. I could always align the work ethics one must put into track and field with the work ethics that go into succeeding in life. As a coach, I...

Interaction

At some point you need to sit back and check out the interaction you have with all people. Are you the type of person who prefers to only be around people who look like you, who are from the same tax bracket, who matches your style of dress, who speaks your language, who been to...

I Got the Power!

You know what I've been thinking about the last few weeks? The subject of authority. As a Christian, I always hear about how we have authority, yet I hardly see it in action. All I see is "inaction". How is it that we can talk so much talk, better than anyone else might I add, and...

Fancy Feet: May Community Event

The month of May will be focused around making sacrifices. The community event for the month of sacrifice will be challenging Christians to go into their closets and pull out their best pair of shoes. There are many people who are homeless and are forced to wear shoes that are too...

Don't Play the Victim

When it rains it pours. When it seems like one thing starts going wrong, it seems as though everything starts going wrong. I have been there and done that. To be honest with you, I may still be in it. Yesterday I wrote a song called "I choose to survive". When I write the songs,...

The Bigger Picture

Its not coincidence that we are where we are in life. God makes no mistakes. And I'm sure you've read this a million and eleven times, but everything happens for a reason. Some of us may be in a situation where we are scratching our heads wondering what God is preparing us for, why...

Prayer and 51

When your down and feeling like nothing in your life is going the way you want it to go, or you feel like God is not there for you, you often hear that you should pray. I completely agree with that, 100 PERCENT! Prayer works! I recently was dealing with something in my life that...

I GOT A FEELING

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.I am in class, but I felt I needed to say a little somethin' somethin' about how I've been feeling. The...

Never Get Tired

Its hard to understand why life seems to be going in the wrong direction when it seems as though you are doing the right thing. You are devoted to God and you obey His word. You help you neighbors and love them as yourself. You pay you tithes and you give to no extent. Yet, you look...

DON'T GET BRAND NEW!!!

I just sit back and laugh when I see people that "made it" say that they were grinding and they paid their dues and that is why they are where they are. They feel as it is because of them that they are in the position that they are in. Well I am here to let them know that God puts...

Before I sat down to write this article, I found out some news that is indeed devastaing to me. My heart is literally in my feet and I really can't think. I would love to wallo in sorrow right now and acknowledge the defeat, yet I have written numerous articles on how not to feel...

Nah...I'm Not Sad...

Luke 23:46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last.Today commemorates the suffering that Jesus endured on that cross at Calvary. He was beaten crazily. He was mocked for no good reason. He was embarrassed...

Stay Strong

There is an old saying, "HE may not come when you want HIM but HE's right on time!". That is a powerful statement. People often pray to God asking HIM to help them in certain situations and they want God to help them right then and there after they pray. It does not work that...

Evaluation Time

Examining the steps you have taken in your life up to this point is not a bad thing. At some point, evaluating your walk in Christ and self checking is neccessary. Are you doing all you can do for God? Where does He rank in your life? Take a moment to re-evaluate the way you have...
