“And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.” ‭‭                                     John‬ ‭1‬:‭46‬ ‭KJV‬‬ This passage is pretty popular. During this time in the Bible, God was beginning to collect his disciples or tell them to “follow Him.” As John proclaimed to those that Jesus was in fact the “Lamb of God,” Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother didn’t hesitate to follow Jesus and went to retrieve Peter as well. As Jesus entered the region of ..read more

“In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.”                          ‭‭Job‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬ ‭KJV‬‬ If you are a Believer or a non-believer, you have most likely heard of the story of Job. How he was an upright man or a man without sin and how he lost his his children, lost his material possessions, lost his riches and even lost his good health. Believers usually love this story because after Job lost everything, he got even more back. God gave Job double for his trouble (Job 42:10). But what if you had a Job experience with ..read more

DESPITE POPULAR BELIEF, you don’t get a free pass to heaven just because you: 1.) Go into a physical church building 2.) Post scriptures daily on social media 3.) Because your family, mother or father are pastors or in church leadership. “but glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: for there is no respect of persons with God.” ‭‭ Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬ It doesn’t matter if you are the chosen people “Jews” or are adopted into the church “Gentiles” (so that’s everyone) we all have the same promise as well as the same judgement.

Your yesterday doesn’t have to dictate your today

Peter initially denied Christ three times. Luke 22:54-62 KJV Then later on during the Pentecost told the people there was no other name men could be saved but by Jesus Christ. Acts 4:14 Paul, formally known as Saul, was the greatest Apostle to walk with God. A man who formally killed people for serving God became one of God’s greatest servants. Acts 9 Just because you “used to do it” doesn’t mean you have to stay there. Don’t let your past dictate how you parent your children today. This morning after prayer God gave me this: If you are a parent who “used to do” whatever you used to do but you ..read more

“that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” ‭                     Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬ In a few instances in the Bible, God instructs us to be like children. Specifically Matthew 18:3 when he states “and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye ..read more

What’s love got to do with it?

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” ‭‭                             John‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ If you really begin to dig deep and think on the most prized possession you have, you realize it’s your life. As my previous pastor used to say, “you will be known for one of two things in your life, the problems you caused or the problems you solved.” But ultimately your life is your most prized possession because it’s what you use to secure eternal life. Your life should testify of God an ..read more

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” ‭‭ Romans‬ ‭12:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬ This scripture has been resonating in my spirit since my Pastor (father) spoke it at Bible Study last Wednesday. There’s so much in this one verse in Romans. The commentary written by McClaren on Biblehub.com states, “Faith is trust, the attitude of receptivity. There are in it a consciousness of need, a yearning desire and a confidence of expectatio ..read more

Why is it a bad idea to “follow your heart?”

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” ‭‭                       Jeremiah‬ ‭17:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Too often, when we are trying to make a decision and solicit advice from loved ones we often hear, “just follow your heart.” There was a time I thought that specific advice was heartfelt and romantic. There was a time it made so much sense because why shouldn’t you make a decision based on your feelings and emotions? I was completely wrong. You should NEVER make a decision based on your emotions because emoti ..read more

“In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.” ‭‭                              Psalm‬ ‭94:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬ On August 24th, 2022, I moved my daughter into her college apartment. It’s the first time ever being away from me/home. And I mean she is miles away from me as she is attending Syracuse University. Though I got married October 1st, 2020, before that for 17 years, it had only and always been me and Superia. Everyday as Christians we are tasked to trust God. We are tasked to trust God regarding o ..read more
