Lukewarm is NOT a LEWK
I learned a new word today-ANODYNE. Something is anodyne when it is deliberately inoffensive. Like “anodyne” classic rock music. I have to say, most Christians have adopted a very anodyne spirituality. We don’t want to offend anybody with our God. We want everyone to just get along. We serve others sugar water gospel because we […]

Sacrificial Giving
“give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Luke 6:38 KJV A friend of mine made a post on Facebook that incorporated this […]

Reminder: Thank You Makes Room for More
In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 I’ve had people say to me, “Why are you putting so much effort into this little house/this student/this job/etc?” My response is ALWAYS: Thank you makes room for more.” If you don’t appreciate where you are—don’t […]

Made.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 139:14 I spent a bit of time in life trying to fit in only to recognize I was destined to be different—Then I swung in the other direction and dug in tooooo […]

Be not wise in thine on eyes…
“Get wisdom, get understanding: Forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: Love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: And with all thy getting get understanding.” Proverbs 4:5-7 KJV Wisdom isn’t a gift of old age; […]

Irregardless, we still sum headbussas… for the LORD.
It always went like this: “Tell Mr. Jackson I said Hello.”“Red, Kisha said hello, Mr. Jackson.” And I’d hear in the background, “Passa.” If you knew how I recoiled from that one word, that one little dig. Listen. I knew he was being funny and fun—tongue-in-cheek, literarily speaking…and also. He was quietly insistent. Like, all […]

Step by Step!
Don’t despise the day of small beginnings. God does all things well. I know folks like to disparage you for “majoring in the minors”; I’ve had people say that to me my whole life! It’s not that I don’t THINK big; it’s just that I believe that mastering the little things makes handling the big […]

Change your thinking; change your life.
“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.” Romans 12:2 KJV Confession: One of the habits I had to change in myself daily was looking for a problem. I was guilty […]

Don’t Just Observe; ADJUST! (Some Righteous Admonition)
“But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully […]

I’m a… SLAVE 4 U
In the Baptist Church I grew up in, when we stand up to address the crowd, we always say, “Giving honor to God, who is the head of my life” or “To our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ”. We say it all the time—so much so that it becomes a rote memory thing. I have […]
