"Sanctified experience", more than the "bumps and bruises of life" - is a better teacher; if we will allow it to be!  I've watched the unfulfilled desires (emptiness) in the eyes of others -- and myself (in the past), lead down some of the craziest paths and to some of the most nauseating destinations; especially in relationships!  When I look at people now in the place of my present maturity and brokenness, I'm moved at times to let them "push the button themselves"; or decide "to want what they say they want", by walking according to their stated confession...Otherwise, we all just become quite paralyzed in our developmental process.  Why Pastor - that's so cold and disengaging?  Because, leading people to water that's sitting right in front of them, is not real leadership; its a sympathy often born out of unresolved pain "in you" that you see in them, which contributes to their excuses — and i...

"BIBLICAL HOLINESS" is NOT: - "Fragile Ears".. - "Long Dresses".. - "Perfect Performance", or - "No Makeup"!! Q.  Should Christians pursue "censorship" in entertainment, on cable, in media, or in hip hop music, etc.? A. ALL EXPRESSION is a revelation of the heart's experience and life position. "Living from the place your heart presently "is", is the key to "being authentic"! So, GOD doesn't censor and silence the noise or profanity of culture and society; and neither should we! EVERY EXPRESSION HAS VALUE; even if the context is negative, riske', or wrong. >> In order for "God's Truth" to have a landing place in the heart, every other opposing force or voice must be EXPOSED!

GOD NEVER FAILS US.. SCRIPTURE REFERENCE : "Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls! In this all-out match against sin, others have suffered far worse than you, to say nothing of what Jesus went through—all that bloodshed! So don't feel sorry for yourselves. Or have you for...

SUBTITLE : ' A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF HOW TO MOBILIZE BLACK CHURCH LEADERS TO RESURRECT THE BLIGHT OF AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES' Disclaimer: First, if you haven't read "IS THERE A NARRATIVE FOR MOVING FORWARD", go there now , to get the backdrop on this particular series. Secondly, if I must define "struggling African-American churches", as ones who: A) Seem to have the veneer of success, without ANY of the corresponding community transformations; B) Aren't engaged in the actual struggle, by addressing the "high incidence" of Prison Reform and Recidivism, HIV/Aids, Gangs, Abortion, etc; and that C) Only address "the surface" of the issues listed above, and use their popularity and influence to PROFIT from God's people, without the people experiencing the prosperity that the minister has consistently promised. I begin to deal with this in the blog below. Be sure to read it, and then — DO YOUR PART! B...

SADLY, lines of demarcation (in the Spirit) are becoming even more pronounced! What this means for Christ's Remnant in regards to end-time warfare is concerned: MISCHARACTERIZATIONS, PERSECUTION, and DRAMATIC SEPARATIONS from people, places and things that can no longer remain in proximity to our lives. TO CHRIST's REMNANT: "Here what the Spirit is saying to the church"...(Revelation 2 and 3) It is NOT in your best interest to listen to EVERY PROPHETIC VOICE, so beware and "be wise" about what you SPIRITUALLY EAT and DIGEST in 2020.. THESE PROPHETS are right on in their analysis and proclamations, of what "Thus Saith The Lord"! SCRIPTURAL APPLICATION... BIBLICAL JUDGMENT: "" Do not judge and criticize and condemn [others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge], so that you will not be judged [unfairly]. For just as you [hypocritically] judge others...

Did prejudice and racism through slavery, lead to the very high incidence of fatherlessness, broken families, black-on-black crime in black communities, etc..? How has slavery, "Jim Crow", and the systemic and institutional racism in this country, added to the historical and pathological traumas and mental health crises, that we see so prevalent in many of our black communities, globally..? What role does academia, the entertainment community, and media, "play" into the current "societal narrative" around black folks and other communities of color "issues" -- And, if so, how much does deep seated political partisanship, liberal-progressive politics, humanistic ideologies, and stagnant cultural and religious philosophies actually feed into the ongoing darkness, discourse and disgrace that is hanging over our communities ..? What data should we "trust" and deem "reliable", when it comes to the num...
