Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV Some of us would know this quote from The Color Purple. It popped into my mind while talking to God about a friend of mine....
I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
~ Psalm 119:15
Whatever He Tells You To Do, Do It!
John 2:1-8 We all know the story of the wedding at Cana. Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding and they ran out of wine. Mary comes to Jesus and tells him that they've run out of wine. Jesus' reply was a little comical. He tells her that it's not my...
Write the Vision…
And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it...
Study!
If this is your first visit, welcome! If you are returning, you'll notice some changes. There are more coming! I owe an apology to my diligent and seeking readers. I've been away studying. Sometimes we need to takea step back to renew our minds and redirect our paths....
Like Moths to a Flame
So, I've noticed something on my journey with God. Holla if you know this one. Blessings are attractive. The love of God is attractive. To everyone. If you didn't know before, you always find out who the people around you are when your blessings begin to be...
Line In The Sand
Deuteronomy 13 tells about the false prophets that were sure to come up against the people of Israel to try and turn them away from God but Moses said to kill them! He even went so far as to say to "utterly destroy (vs. 15)" the inhabitants and cities from where...
The Ultimate Eavesdropper
Ever wonder if God is really listening to you? Have you been praying and feeling like God is ignoring you? I have. However, what I've learned is that the closer you are to God, He's listening even when you are not praying. There are a myriad of verses in the bible...
Random Acts of Kindness
Today, I witnessed a random act of kindness. There was a young lady that apparently didn't have money to pay for her breakfast and was holding up the line. She was upset because she had just gotten paid and wanted to buy breakfast. Something so simple. The patrons...
Loss
I found out in church today that one of the young ladies lost her job. When she walked in, I knew immediately that something was wrong. If you've ever been fired, then you know that feeling. The rejection. She was so broken. I did not get the particulars but it didn't...
Stop Complaining!
Philippians 2:14-15 (KJV) states: Do all things without murmurings and disputings: that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; So, why are there...
The Void
Genesis 1:1-2 (KJV) states: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. I don't know about you but I just took...
My Brother’s Keeper
No, this isn't a hommage to Nino Brown and the CMB crew. (That's for my '90's saints.) This is about God's mandate to take care of each other. To look out for each other's wellbeing. Believers and non-believers alike. Romans 14:19 (NIV) states: Let us therefore make...
