 COMPROMISING FREELY, BUT COOPERATING SUPREMELY You're NEVER compromising your faith in Christ, when you choose to use common sense —sanctified by your born again spirit, biblical wisdom, or wise counsel that's "proven" as we choose to "be led by the Spirit" in all of our decision-making, which will singularly influence the future direction of our lives in every area. We all know that actively living and serving Jesus Christ — especially as a Holy Ghost filled believer and disciple, absolutely means that we're to live the naturally-supernatural lifestyle in our every day lives! This means that we actually refuse to allow "the law of sin and death" with all of its bondage and yokes associated with our base nature, to rule or have dominion "in" or "over us" any longer. It does NOT ignore-but fully embraces both natural and spiritual laws.. It does NOT attempt to exemplify "super-humanity...

Well.. HERE IT IS! The Work of God is ALWAYS DONE in a developmental continuum of "His Amazing Grace" and/or in a continuation of His foundational truths found ONLY in "His Eternal and Proceeding Word" .. So, WHY are so many segments of the church STRUGGLING and STUCK, by what is now happening in 2020?!? LISTEN.. "Covid-19" or Coronavirus, isn't "new" in the sense that it's diabolical tentacles and death grip, is unrelated to other viruses that should have taught us the importance of "honoring foundational health principles and hygiene" around those battling of struggling with highly provocative respiratory conditions, etc. What function does the "Respiratory System" serve in the human body? The respiratory system of humans is a made up of a series of organs responsible for both taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide.. The primary organ of the respiratory system is t...

"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...
