"Aquila and priscilla, Together in ministry" Photo Credit: www.moldovacristina.com      In this modern day, there are so many examples of married couples in ministry.  The mega churches are usually the ones that get the most attention.  As a congregant, I believe that every member loves, respects and admonishes their Pastor and First Lady for being the leaders that God has called them to be.  I sure do.      As we continue our Power Couples Series, I wanted to direct your attention to a couple in the New Testament by the name of Aquila and Priscilla.  You may or may not have heard of the ..read more

“Zacharias and Elisabeth, Righteous Before God” Luke 1:5-25 KJV *names spelled according to the KJV Version of the Bible.* Photo Credit: youtube.com A Faith Kid's Bible Video ​​     Have you ever prayed to The Lord for something and He didn’t send an answer at the time you thought was sufficient?  At times, it is easy to feel that if I just follow the rules, keep my nose to the ground and do what I’m supposed to do, then God will answer my request.  You know, sing in the choir, feed the hungry, and love my neighbor as I love myself, then surely when I make my request known to God, He ..read more

James 5:16 KJV - "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." Photo Credit: Painted By Alexander Khokhlov      "Confess our faults one to another."  Many times are testimony turns into a confession.  As humans, we feel confession is vindication for our past mistakes.  Often times, our confessions turn into "spilling the tea sessions."  "Spilling the tea" is an African American colloquialism that simply means, "gossip."  These type of sessions gives your haters the necessary receipts ..read more

Matthew 13:45-46 KJV - "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:  Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it."

Photo Credit: etsy.com      It appears the term Public Figure has been morphed into something that it was never intended to be.  A Public Figure in US Law is defined as a person such as a politician, celebrity or business leader who has a certain social position within a certain scope and a significant influence and is so often widely concerned by the public, can benefit enormously from society, and is closely related to public interests in society.      I've been watching the highs and lows and the pros and cons of people who are legitimately considered Public Figures.  It is noted that ..read more

Photo Credit: petersontoscano.wordpress.com      A couple of days ago, My Wife called me on the phone and before I could utter a word, she asked me, "Where Are You?"  It was a rhetorical question because I had told her my plans for the day and I knew part of my plans was to take care of her "Honey Do List."      Then I started thinking about when God, ( Jehovah Bara - Lord Creator) who is All-Knowing asked Adam, "Where was He?" I became intrigued.  Didn't God know where Adam was and what was going on?  Or was it a rhetorical question?  Then it came to me, God wasn't asking Adam the questi ..read more

Photo Credit: pinterest.com       I have been watching the trend of the term Power Couples for the past several years.  I've noticed that the definition changes based upon who is defining the term.  Originally, it was a term that was given to Couples who seemed to have a Fairytale Romance.  The Couple would be people of influence, especially to those around them with jaw-dropping good looks and would seemingly have the perfect relationship with their significant other.  The most common type of Power Couple is given to famous people like Beyonce' and Jay-Z or Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Unio ..read more

If you've never experienced Ecstasy during Intimacy with your own Husband, then you are truly missing out!  I don't think people really understand the difference between Intimacy and Ecstasy. I am hopeful that this topic will bless many marriages because I believe that only a small percentage of married couples have had the unique and divine pleasure of this experience.      Rapture. Bliss. Elation. Euphoria. Joy. Jubilation. Exultation. A Trancelike state.  These are all words used to describe the experien ..read more

Photo Credit: Xeloheart.com      Intimacy.  Why is it so taboo to talk about intimacy in Church or even with other Christian Brothers?  When the Bible says that the Marriage Bed is undefiled, it should be easy to talk about.  But intimacy is often acquainted with being "Wordly," "Perverted" or only needed for "Procreation."  Sort of like when the Children of Israel had started doing right in their own sight. But this week, the Ref and I have been talking about how to approach the subject of intimacy versus ecstasy. Let's talk intimacy in Christian Marriages to begin.      God created ..read more
