Everyone of us may find in the words I am privileged to share with you, what you most need now. If you will listen with your inner ear, see with your inner eye, feel with your innermost being, and let your doubting mind rest, you will find exactly what you most need for your development. Many have often spoken the words, "Let go, Let God," Let us examine the true meaning of "Let go, let God" for there is a lot more to this saying than meets the eye, brothers and sisters. Letting go obviously me… Continue

While waiting on the promises of God, This brings me to a critical question that is posed to every one of us: What are you saying? According to scripture, the power of death and life is in our words. Our words produce effects in our lives, in the lives of others, and in our circumstances. Our words either justify us or condemn us. You get what you say. There are many scriptures that refer to the use and effects of words. Who are you in agreement with? There’s your mouth, God’s mouth, and the en… Continue

Before I continue lets review this blog. Today we believe tithing is the act of giving 10% of our income to a local church. Tithing was actually an Old Testament law that the Israelites had to follow. It had nothing to do with money. It was all about food. They either ate the tithe themselves or gave it to the poor and the Levites to eat. Jesus fulfilled the law, so we are not required to tithe. Here's what the New Testament says about giving. 2 Cor 9:7 "Each man should give what he has decided… Continue

What do You believe? Is it God's truth or just a lie dressed for church? Over the years Christians have heard, numerous times, the arguments surrounding tithing being law for Christians today. In this post I am fervent to bringing you the other side of the story. The side a portion of Christian leaders would rather you did not hear. Is tithing really a Biblical command for Christians? Is there really a "principle of tithing"? Is what you have been taught about tithing true? This post will certai… Continue

My Garden Read Luke 6:43-45 There is a new sound in the garden of God. We have prayed for God to come, we have asked Him to spend time with us and to dwell with us but every time God draws near, a shaking comes to our lives. God is not visiting us, He's come to take up permanent residence in His children's hearts, if He can find us. This means it's time for a housecleaning; the things we use to do won't work any longer. Let’s be real here. The apostle Paul was one of the most passionate… Continue

To Know! (Understanding our God) Read Ephesians 5:21-33 Why do so many people, especially young people come to Church Sunday after Sunday, “sing some songs, hear a sermon” then go home unchanged, unchallenged, and unconvinced that God has called us to something more? That is about to change. As members of the Body of Christ, we have an obligation to preach, teach, and model the Word of God. We are responsible for edifying one another and we must confront and deal with what is so controve… Continue

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself these questions? Truthfully now, Are You Living the Life? What does it mean to be in Christ? Too many of us call ourselves Christians while we continue to rob and cheat one another. We lie to one another; face to face and especially behind the back. We seem to appear to be totally dysfunctional in every kind of relationship that requires trust, honesty, and transparency. Too many of us are playing the world's back stabbing, backward communication game. H… Continue

Man Up! (Before Labeling What is a Man) Read Romans 11:2-5 At the center of every true desire and longing is our deep hunger for our Creator. The psalmist David wrote, “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God” Psalm 42:1. A man, whose mind, will, and appetites {or affections} that have been honed and realigned by the Word of God, searches for more out of life than would a man of the flesh and world. Our understanding of ourselves depends on what we… Continue
