BRAND New Year
The beginning of any new year always stirs up thoughts of new beginnings. And while the year is definitely new, your recruitment isn’t. Now, I am addressing my brothers and sisters in Christ who have been saved for any given amount of time. The day of salvation was when you were recruited. You were recruited […]
The Lure of the Law Part 5
For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit […]
The Lure of the Law Part 4
RxELIGION: A prescription for Dis-ease Extreme grace messages create a license to sin; they lead to lazy Christianity, passivity. If we were to take a poll, many Christians would say that they have heard the above accusations regarding grace at some point in their lives.

Discouragement and Depression
Depression begins with disappointment. When disappointment festers in our soul, it leads to discouragement.—Joyce Meyer I recently ministered to God’s people on discouragement and depression. We as believers can experience episodes of these two unwanted guests, but we must choose to act before they fester. . . and act sooner rather than later! My thanks […]
The Lure of the Law Part 3
In part one, I had mentioned that the Law works beautifully for those whom it was intended. It was intended for those who refused to see God as a God who can. Anyone who still wants to try and adhere to it completely, feel free. Newsflash: No one can! God’s miracles and divine protection before […]

Be careful what you ask for! How many times have we heard that line? It usually comes from our very own lips—many times uttered as an after-the-fact realization.

The Lure of the Law Part 1
It’s about an hour until the clock strikes midnight and sister Gotta Do is taking a quick trip down memory lane—a very quick trip, mind you, as she finds it difficult to recall every moment on this year-in-review journey. One thought glaringly highlights the fact that exactly 365 days ago, she was in this very […]
Established in Righteousness
Love is the message of the cross. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved […]
DECLARATION of DEPENDENCE
Declaration of Dependence Upon God and His Holy Bible We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Since our Creator gave us these rights, we declare that no government has the right to take them away. Among these rights is the […]
S.W.E.A.T.
“A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.”—Billy Graham Great quote! I believe that we could formulate yet another relevant sentiment with just a quick exchange of words: “Our heavenly Father is the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet the most […]
