Mutual Accountability is a must in the church at large .. — Leaders to members; and members to leaders.. Brother to Brother and Sister to Sister (Matthew 18:16-18, CSB) Members to Leaders = (1 Timothy 5:19-20, CSB) WHY? Because of the historic church hopping, church splits and church closings that we should prayerfully address, by identifying and tackling the issues that we read and talk about every day that are all over social media! "Mutual accountability" is founded in "mutual submission" that grounds everyone firmly in the "Priesthood of the Believers", which represents the even delegation, the consistent distribution,  and the balanced dissemination of the burden of care, the burden of loyalty, and the burden of responsibility — related to our "biblical stewardship”; that must be "on" ALL of God's people, equally. Does this mean that "church folks" should challenge anything/everything that the "church le...

"INHERENTLY NEGATIVE BELIEVERS" are mesmerized by "the evil in this world", and make the unbelieving postures of the unrighteous - BIGGER THAN REDEMPTION "in Christ"! Their often questioning whether we're making headway or progress, because they gage a false metric (the evening news, political commentary, and the world getting 'darker'), as a sign of the success or impact of the kingdom of God.. YES - seeing and hearing the arrogance, indifference and licentious attitudes of this dark world, is definitely a reason to both pray and desire the Imminent Return of Jesus Christ... BUT "cursing the darkness" isn't the best "sales approach" or strategy for properly representing "the Good News" to the dying world; who truly doubt the possibility of living with ACCEPTANCE, FREEDOM and JOY that's not based upon material things, temporary successes, or satisfying fleshly indulgences! MY ADVICE: ...

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light." (Ephesians 5:8-14 NKJV) STOP "snuggling with darkness", thinking or deceiving yourself into believing that you're doing "God's work"! BE HONEST, you're an OPPORTUNIST!  You DON'T want the purpose or will of God..YOU want your "name in lights", and to be affirmed by people who have no use for you, other than "using your gifts to further the...

The "truth" is NOT what we "say" or "think" that it is based up agreement, confirmation or conviction. "Truth" is a Person, and HE is the "Inexhaustible Treasure"of ALL purported knowledge, philosophy or academic theory - Jesus Christ! Yes, this is ONLY debatable (in my humble opinion) where the lack of experience and exposure exists; but what's most significant is, TRUTH never needs human ingenuity, human strength or human rhetoric to defend its position or progress - it's ETERNAL, and forever settled in the heavens! Consider being on the side of TRUTH, your life will never again be complacent, stagnate or impotent...SELAH! WS-3 Walter L.

"Real Prophets" don't need cameras or crowds to stand as Christ's devoted ambassadors and spokesman, communicating HIS heart and mind in the earth! More gets done from obedience "behind closed doors" than the pomp and pulpiteering that is often seen as a representation of the authentic, but wreaks of fleshly mixture that parades around for attention with no true substance or "weight" to get things done! "Bandwagon Christians" get excited about "words" and "personal prophecies" that leads to further conformation and bondage. But, the evidence of God speaking is NOT the fanfare that follows the message preached; it's the genuine repentance that manifests in the lives of God's people, conforming them more into HIS likeness and releasing greater dimensions of His love and grace for the world to see!

"'Rowdy House' contributors are nonpartisan, anonymous musicians contributing musically to elevate national awareness regarding government waste, corruption and excessive regulation. One thing we all agree on: Government waste and corruption should be stopped. Every day, politicians waste our money and create regulations to benefit their special interest friends. We are bleeding billions and no one seems to be paying attention. Politicians believe they can continue to get away with it. They have weakened the voice of the American people by dividing us politically. We need to heighten public awareness and create a united, bipartisan public pressure to stop waste and restore America's financial strength." WOW - This just goes to show you that "Christians" sometimes complicate what is very simple in the scheme of things...And, you don't need a "spiritual guru" or "savior" as a President to advise or lead you to ...

TRUE REPENTANCE is the metamorphic transformation through a "change of mind, a change of attitude, and a change of direction". Are you REALLY going to keep misrepresenting "your season" as some "school" God is taking you through, when you've resisted the people and the circumstances He's used to get your attention! YOUR PROBLEM is: You keep finding people to reinforce the dysfunction and darkness in your soul, and then demonize anyone really used by The Lord to shake you out of the apathy, complacency and slumber that is flooding your soul! STOP running from the confrontations meant to break the strongholds off of your life! If you don't surrender once and for all to God soon you won't be able too! "How long is soon?" 'Wrong question, dear heart!' The right and proper response is "I REPENT!" WS-3 Walter L. Smith III Founder/President Pure In Heart Int'l Ministries, Inc./ The Center For Kin...
