• The Stabilizing Power of Jesus Christ

  

  But God hath not given unto us a spirit of fear; but of power, of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 Do you know what it is like to spend your entire life having your thought life arrested? Like, having everyone important in your life question and sometimes outright deny the validity […]

• Serve

  

  The greatest among you will be your servant. Matthew 23:11 When I was young, my mama never hit me out of frustration or anger. Instead, she had these little sayings she’d say to warn me that a butt whooping was imminent. One of those sayings was “I can show you better than I can tell […]

• 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 […]

• The Flesh That Hates, Part 2

  

  I believe in angels and demons and oppression and possession and spiritual warfare. I believe the devil is the accuser, the roaring lion, the fallen star, the destroyer, thief, and killer. Alladat. BUT. Many are misled, crying and speaking in tongues and saying, “Satan, I rebuke you!” when they need to be rebuking THEMSELVES, lol. […]

• (Wo)man in the Mirror

  

  Straightened my hair one day (as much as I could…) and while the style itself was a complete and epic fail (we will talk above it the tools another day), I got to see where my hair was at. I could have just walked away from the mirror and marveled at my growth, ignoring the […]

• What That Mouth Do?

  

  Part 1: On my own?!? I have not spoken on My own, but the Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say and how to say it. And I know that His command leads to eternal life. So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.” John 12:49-50 Berean Study […]

• The cost of reasonable service

  

  The hardest thing for me to forgive is hypocrisy. To have been treated as though I am terrible while watching grace be extended to others just like me. To be expected to be gracious now that the shoe is on the other foot. To show compassion on demand when I have been left alone and […]

• Are You REALLY Under Godly Construction or Hiding Behind Fleshly Excuse?

  

  What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Romans 6:1-2
