Joyous Kwanzaa, Day 7: IMANI
True believers understand that salvation is a deed-less experience, that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. That we find redemption in receiving the forgiveness purchased by the blood shed on the cross. But there IS another step thereafter. That same faith, when fully formed through the hearing of the word, produces […]

“Things I Left Behind” : A Year End Reflection
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14 KJV The 2022 version of this thing […]

Joyous Kwanzaa, Day 2: Kujichagulia
A critical missing piece of my personal puzzle has been understanding and accepting without fear and uncertainty “who I am”. And not only “who I am” but am I being all that I have been created, called, and purposed to be? The excessively outward living that we have always done in this nation—white-ward, heavenward, money-ward, […]

What Da Hook Gone Be?

I have been standing at the precipice of leaving all and starting over for a few years now, pulled back from the edge by unseen forces gently reminding me of responsibilities that, while […]

God IS: A meditation on immutability and holiness
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 So. I am reading a bible plan on my bible app that focuses on Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year. The reason I started reading it was because it is titled “A Call to Repentance”. I am enjoying learning from it because it […]

Accountability IS Holiness
Listen. Folks do NOT like being held accountable. But in 2022? We not finna just “do you” all over folks’ BOUNDARIES. I’ve been NOT telling the truth along with the love I already show. What do I mean? I mean to say that I I have used love as an excuse to allow folks to […]

Repentance
We all slip up and hurt folks. It’s just the way of humanity. BUT. Too many “mature Christians” use the Holy Spirit to justify not going to their brother/sister and making things right, talmbout they got to “pray and ask God if they should apologize.” Whatchu MEAN “if”? Jesus said to LEAVE YOUR GIFT AT […]

Giving Freely
If you give freely, God gives freely. Simple as that. What you put out there you get back. That’s why I stay casting my bread. It always floats back. And I NEVER REGRET GIVING OPENLY. Even if regret crosses my mind, I repent and ask for forgiveness IMMEDIATELY. God ain’t never repented about saving me. […]
