I sit, listen and focus on the unforgettable song Falling Slowly on the original soundtrack to the movie Once. Just in the opening notes, I can feel the tips of the fingers pushing across the strings of the guitar. Then you have Glen Hansard’s voice start effortlessly with just a tiny hint of throatiness come [...]
There is so much I wanted to post about this week: Pornography, Marriage, Forgiveness, Love, Calvinism, attending multiple churches (or how not to succumb to peer pressure), Seeker Churches versus Believer Churches, Dispensationalism, The television show on BET called “Meet The Faith”, etc..
However, as I am writing this at 1:00AM Monday morning, all that I [...]
I am going to be short and sweet on this.
I cannot remember the last time I paid tithes.
No longer can I blame the excuses of “I don’t belong to a church” or “I am separated and have to pay child support.”
The truth of the matter is that I never ever thank God for providing for [...]
One of the things I was reminded by a friend when it comes to Tithing and Giving is that Tithes and Offerings are two completely different things.

When you start a blog on all things faith, hope and love in your Christian walk, inevitably, you will run across other blogs running in the same direction.
Among many others, this particular blog I am drawn to because it is written by a pastor who is incredibly honest about the mistakes he made while running [...]
Amongst all the contemporary worship out there with you kids and your new music, I still like the old stuff. I still like Gospel and Hymns and songs I grew up with back in the 70s and 80s as a kid. The songlist at my church for the weekend worship service always includes a song [...]
“The more I pray, the more I felt as though I am getting pushed out of my job at work. When I dispose every single bit of my will for the Will of God, I felt everything I did was a mistake at work as though I could not do anything right. When I continue [...]
There is many things I go out of my way to be humble especially for those things that come at the grace of the Almighty God.
