CHRISTIANS: Do you actually KNOW the political candidates that you're willing to compromise your witness for, by participating in the assaulting and insulting of people's character that you REALLY don't know; ONLY based upon "news sources" that you deem credible or trustworthy that have agendas and loyalties of their own?!? STOP IT! This world is NOT your home, and NONE of the people you're placing your trust in (politically) can do ANYTHING THEMSELVES, without FIRST seeking GOD and depending upon HIM to make a difference (through them) in this cursed cosmos we call our world! #TEAM JESUS!  WS-3 Walter L.

I'm not sure where this merciful and sympathetic romanticism towards drag queens, pedophiles and child molesters is coming from, but it's NOT normal — and it sure is "dark" to say the least! If Christians are trying to figure out what they should be doing right now in the midst of these unbelievably wicked displays of gross darkness, take the cue that the world is sending to the church RIGHT NOW, and move out by faith in accordance with His Will.. ""Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples; But the LORD will rise upon you And His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. "Lift up your eyes round about and see; They all gather together, they come to you. Your sons will come from afar, And your daughters will be carried in the arms. Then you will see and be ra...

THIS is "why" we must get a grip on these issues! MORE HURT, PAIN and PERSECUTION will come to the LGBTQIA community, if we don't get a grasp on how best to acknowledge "difference" without allowing it to force change in an untimely and disruptive way that will backfire on the healthy progress and acceptance that has come to a community with many needs. Even though I strongly believe in biblical marriage, traditional values, and age-appropriate engagement and interactions around such issues, I still believe it's important to protect the "inalienable rights" of every segment of society — no matter how adamantly I may be "against" certain things purported through aspects of the LGBTQIA Agenda.. People are NOT going to "set aside" their core beliefs and values to make others "happy".  But, people will (within reason) support the "philosophy for change" that's needed to move society past...

Walter: Are you seeking a new "Green Deal for African Americans"?  Absolutely, NOT! But, what I do feel is significant is drawing attention to an adapted excerpt from Prisoners of Hope: Lyndon B. Johnson, the Great Society, and the Limits of Liberalism by Randall B. Woods (Copyright © 2016), Mr. Wood's words grasp what I believe is an important distinction between the New Deal and the Great Society. MY GOAL is to bring balance to the political divides and extremes held by the polarizing "parties" and  "sides" that seemingly have no interest in really solving problems.. MY GOAL is to champion the cause of the responsibly active and engaged citizens being negatively impacted by systemic ills, injustices and issues to be properly represented and supported.. MY GOAL is to help reawaken the conscience of this nation in favor of change, reform and policy change that will serve the best interest of "the whole", not ce...

LISTEN:  Death, greed, irreverence, fear, indifference, poverty, laziness, hopelessness, lawlessness, sin, etc, ALL have a definitive assignment that is without prejudice; and, it's aimed towards every human being in this earth's biosphere! WE ALL have: a cross to bear, a family to protect, a perspective to share, and a desire to make a significant impact and difference in our world. What makes all of our pain, struggles and trials worth bearing, is the fact that God made us for "community", where our ability to communicate, comfort and console one another — can relieve a lot of the pressure that we'll carry all alone, if we don't look to our brothers and sisters for HELP!

Check out Christ with the woman at the well (John 4). He could have blown her away with an endless barrage of verbal artillery. He didn't. He genuinely listened when she spoke; He "listened slowly." He read the lines of anxiety on her face and felt the weight of guilt in her heart. As she talked, He peered deeply into the well of her soul. It wasn't long before she found herself completely open, yet not once did she feel forced or needlessly embarrassed. His secret? He listened. He studied every word, each expression. Even the tone of her voice. What does it take? Several things. Rare qualities. Like caring. Time. Unselfishness. Concentration. Holding the other person in high esteem. Sensitivity. Tolerance. Patience. Self-control. And—perhaps most of all—allowing room for silence while the other person is thinking and trying to get the words out. Wise is the listener who doesn't feel compelled to fill up all the blank spaces with verbiage. Solomo...

"One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace will have the king for a friend.  Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors. Do you see someone skilled in their work?

The biggest deterrent to Christ-like alignment, agreement and ascension, is "righteous" AFFLICTION, PAIN, or SUFFERING that is a direct consequence of being a genuine disciple of Jesus Christ and choosing to live contrary to every corruptible, unrighteous or ungodly attitude or disposition! If YOU and YOUR FAMILY are going to "make it" through THE wilderness test(s) that are authorized by The Lord Most High for your lives, YOU MUST choose to TRUST GOD in every season and in the midst of any/every transition! When GOD KNOWS that your ALLEGIANCE, FAITHFULNESS, and OBEDIENCE to HIM, is not contingent upon "how" your circumstances fare or "whether" your feelings are screaming for you to do something in your own strength or power, YOU ARE READY for your inheritance, eternal destiny and purpose to be established on your behalf!   WS-3 #DestinyInstructions   #KeyToOvercoming   #RestInEverySeason   Walter L.

Why doesn't — Bill Johnson, James Robison, Billy Graham, Walter L. Smith III, John Bevere, etc — "tote titles" in their public ministry, written correspondence, and during their ministry interviews?

Ministry Brethren:  If YOU are leading a "personality driven ministry", everything revolves around YOU! "Fallen men" ("called, but confused") place their IDENTITY and an "unhealthy emphasis" upon THEMSELVES in a functional role (TITLE) as an Ascension Gift or Five-Fold Minister, without truly understanding the fundamental nature of the ONE GIFT (Holy Spirit) which Christ gave to His Church — by using us "in" and "through" various spiritual manifestations for the purpose of "equipping the saints" FOR THE WORK OF MINISTRY.. Without belaboring this post, if a minister rarely demonstrates the collective importance and value of his spouse as a key partner and co-laborer in the work, he is CAUGHT UP in churchianity and narcissistic pursuits that will end in a TRAIN WRECK if God is merciful by allowing them to see their blindness before it's too late! THE MESSAGE: Don't SEEK HONOR..GIVE IT!  WS...

The "world's arrogance" exists because of their blindness, due to "sin" (pride, rebellion and selfishness)! WHY is that "so upsetting" to CHRISTIANS? According to God's Original Intent, "dominion" was NEVER something that the Father meant us (Adam and Eve) to do with PEOPLE.. The Genesis command to "be fruitful", "multiply", "subdue", and "have dominion" was about the stewardship of the "created earth" — water, wind, ground, sky.. God's relationship to the physical realm or dimension (space, time, and matter) has NEVER CHANGED outside of His New Covenant Promise to "one day" redeem (renovate) the earth, after the Second Coming as we move towards the Millennium.. "Manifesting Sons" (Greek: Teleios) carry what the world needs, including a pardon, a perspective, and a purpose that cannot be duplicated by human means. If we're goi...

There are SO MANY "fair-weather saints" who feel justified in their actions, which are actually contrary towards God and His Word, BUT, other people applaud, support and sanction their choices; so it's ALL GOOD!?! The Bible says, "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation." (Hebrews 9:27-28) As a Christian, it breaks your heart to see your friend or family member choose a course, path or relationship that's not in their best interest.  But, is it "your place" or mine to make their choices "for them", or "judge them" about the choice they made?  Absolutely, NOT!  Our role, is to simply choose to live and to die for Christ (if need be), no matter what others decide is best for them.. You may feel concerned, grieved, or even worrie...

While I sincerely appreciate this young man's comments, he has neglected to communicate many of the important milestones that have "forced" institutional powers to change the laws to be more equitable and "just" for all people.  By omitting too many important historical facts, in my opinion, he further divides the political factions within African-America communities all over the nation.   I see it nearly impossible for some "political coalition" to form that resolves these issues intelligently and thoughtfully.  Because, for far too long, we've become "slaves to the political debate", without finding remedy for what is truly not complicated — IF separating the implications of historical trauma, can be differentiated from the present-day self-defeating irresponsibility and entitlement that has made a small segment of our communities "dependent upon transitional subsidies" that were never meant to become "gen...

As a Christian, yours and my "capacity" to:  Forgive, Give, Love, Pray, and Serve, represents and translates into "what GOD is both willing and able to do", because we are all supposed to be an "extension of Christ's ministry"; as His Ambassadorial Representatives! Remember this, as you do "ministry" in His Name; as you daily interact with people; and before you choose to pass judgment on others about something that the power of Christ's forgiveness and reconciliation "through you", can easily overcome! ONE DAY, we will ALL "stand before Him in judgment", and the questions will be:  1) Did you live for you or for Him? And.. 2) Did you allow Christ to live "in you" and "through you", while representing the Kingdom of God on earth? WS-3 Walter L.

SEX and GENDER are "the same".. Whether we IDENTIFY or FEEL like some known or unknown entity, person or non-person, is OUR ISSUE.. But, to CHANGE LAWS and FORCE DEFINITIONS on society to make others "feel comfortable" or "feel acceptance", is a MOCKERY to the well documented historicity of every human being; generally speaking. This CAN OF WORMS has no certain ends or clear path for "how" it will impact and influence ALL OF SOCIETY — AT EVERY LEVEL.  But, it appears from the relative silence of the majority that we're still "on board" for the innumerable amounts of "gender options" that are surfacing almost every day on social media..?!? WIKIPEDIA says: The distinction between sex and gender differentiates a person's biological sex (the anatomy of an individual's reproductive system, and secondary sex characteristics) from that person's gender, which can refer to either social r...

I have no issues with any of my associates or friends supporting Planned Parenthood, for whatever reason they decide to do so.. But, because we're connected through social media — I have to tell you that the advocacy and legal work of ACLJ around "defunding Planned Parenthood" is extremely important and just; and, it's NOT about partisan politics or cultural conformity AT ALL! What Planned Parenthood is doing with "aborted baby parts" is honestly, demonic, deplorable and "dark" at best! For no other reason, but to be civil and to stay informed, please PAY ATTENTION to the associations and alliances you currently support, and consider making your concerns known about the things that you do not support; and champion THAT on your page.. Certainly, there'd be way fewer social media fallouts and a lot more constructive interaction online, without EVERYBODY feeling like they just need to "do me", with no thought for ...

Being "anointed" doesn't mean YOU don't need to be polished, pruned, refined or QUIET, till you've received the proper discipling, educating and training under established spiritual leadership that both honors and teaches the whole counsel of God's Word! If you have little to no depth of understanding in theology, in hermeneutics, in eschatology, or in soteriology, YOU need more than a "calling", BEFORE you attempt to assume LEADERSHIP; because YOU could be doing more harm than good! Having "all kinds of revelations" about things you have yet to actually experience, means that you're still in training, so be thoughtfully led by the Holy Spirit; AND focus on YOU and YOUR FAMILY, before you seek to go forth to reach the world. Full-time ministry, for those who are actually "doing it" and "living it", isn't about walking around every day looking for someone to "share your revelations with...

"CHRISTIANS": One of the major things that diminishes the effectiveness of our witness and our relevance "in the world Christ died to save", is our RUSH TO JUDGMENT about "all the things we're against", without an inkling of GOD's LOVE, MERCY or GRACE as the "fragrance and aroma of CHRIST" that we're to disseminate and distribute in "our worlds" according to HIS Will!  WS-3 #ThisRepresentsManifestingSons   #ThisIsWhyCreationGroans   #MasteringAgapeLove   #LoveIsTheConqueringForce Walter L.

Walter: "It looks like you have your hands in so many things.. How did you come to get involved in the work that you do?" I "completely surrendered" to God around my ministry and vocation.. I sought "mastery" in every service or management position that God allowed me to be involved.. I "exercised my faith" as a common everyday practice, when I was being attacked, belittled, misunderstand, and rejected, so that I could assume my "Daniel-like statesmanship" dealing with my "Joseph-like business and economic assignments" for WHATEVER — GOD "told me to do"! If HE SAID, "SOW INTO OTHERS" ...I treated it as HIS COMMAND and HIS INVITATION into greatness through SERVICE! If HE SAID, "FORGIVE the $62,000 CLIENT DEBT", I did JUST THAT, to keep in alignment with MY FULL INHERITANCE IN CHRIST! If HE SAID, "LEAVE YOUR REPUTATION TOO ME", after I've bee...
