Freedom is Not Free
on February 2nd, 2025
February is Black History Month. My mind goes over the many great men and women who paved the way and broke down barriers to open opportunities for the black and brown. When people said NO, these people found ways to still persevere and make inroads into American society. There are too many greats to name, but Harriet Tubman and the underground railroad immediately come to mind. Harriet Tubman was... Read More
Bless or Judge

Growing up we lived in an abusive environment. After my mom divorced my stepdad we didn’t always have enough money. The rest of the family pitched in as much as they could but it was hard to support a family of eight. When the cabinets were empty mom prayed for food and soon there would be a knock at the door with someone bringing a meal. At other times, there was no one at the door except for big... Read More

But that was not what the speaker asked us; he didn’t ask... Read More
Be Faithful as God is Faithful
on January 5th, 2025
I often hear people say if they had lived in Bible days things would be easier. An interesting thing is that little has changed in the last 2000 years. The Apostles and Jesus encountered the same issues as today and even worse. They warned against the very sins that we face today. It is the faithfulness of God’s Word and our faithfulness to live according to His Word, that enables us to stay clear... Read More
The Great Comforter
on December 22nd, 2024
When Jesus finished His assignment here on earth and went to abide at the right hand of the Father, He didn’t abandon His disciples as some of them thought. Jesus’ promise was to never leave them nor forsake them and they had to remind each other those words. It’s the same today, it’s critical that we remind each other of HIS promises, and that the Savior’s words are alive and rich. “But the Comfo... Read More
