Love Above All Else: Anything Else is Useless
Love above all else has been on my heart for the past few months. During this entire pandemic experience I have been asking, ‘Where is the love that we as Christians are supposed to have for others?’ It has been an eye-opening experience watching Christians backbite not only their brothers and sisters in the Lord but others whom we are supposed to love. God never said love only Christians, He said to love everyone. Check out the scripture for yourself: 1 Corinthians 13: If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love [for others Read More
We Are Not Alone: Choose HOPE
Choose Hope. As a blogger, I tell stories, whether it’s my story or other stories. When dealing with traumatic events stories allow us to humanize history as people tell their stories. With stories, we can put a face on historic events and make them personal. Stories should activate the senses. What did you see?

Why God?: Go Ahead and Ask, He will Answer
Why? Has God ever asked you to do something and you wanted to ask Him just one question? Why God? God’s request does not make sense in the natural, but in the Spirit, it makes perfect sense. We are at that time in history when God will be asking us to do some things that appear to the world as foolishness, but as He said, “But God has selected [for His purpose] the foolish things of the world to shame the wise [revealing their ignorance], and God has selected [for His purpose] the weak things of the world to shame Read More
Fear Not: In Him We Have Refuge
Fear Not. How many times does God tell us to have no fear? Some say 365 times. Regardless, it’s a lot. This is the fourth and final installment of my In Him Realities series. We are living in strange times as COVID-19 makes its way around the world. As a member of the academic community, I have been on Spring break this week. In the natural, I am returning to work tomorrow to an uncertain work environment; however, in the Spirit I have no fear for God is with me. In Him I am hidden under His wings (kanaph). Kanaph Read More
