What does it matter if you gain the entire world only to lose your soul.  We traverse this world navigating its crazy paths, often being led in multiple directions. I   tweeted earlier today that,"not only will the Holy Spirit convict your heart but it'll convict your mouth as well". Ask yourself,"what have I been proclaiming, claiming, and going after this year". Use the turning of the new year that's fast approaching as a launch pad for a new lease on mind, heart, and mouth dedicated to lifting up Christ. Trust me, you cannot go wrong! "... and yet, another seed has been planted"

At the beginning and end of the day, you resolve to make up in your mind that, for God I live and for God I'll die must hold fast. This world is openly expressing its disdain for all things Holy and of God. It apologizes to no one and expects to be forgiven unapologetically for it's intentionally destructive behavior. Now, don't get the wrong idea. Mat. 7:1-3," 1  Judge not, that ye be not judged.  2  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.  3  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Knowing this, we can implement salvation into the equation and reference Christ's blood shed covering all sins for the believer. Yes, which is wherein the crux of our dilemma viewing/discussing the plight of this world. Let us be busy living for God, fighting the good fight, and demonstrating His love. Having no fear in us, bein

Paul Walker. RIP to a seemingly good guy and by all appearances, social activism, and interviews; a real dude. Walking in purpose must be tied to a life of showing God off in your walk. Are you exhibiting the power of God in your life? Have you found your purpose? It's funny, most people'd associate those questions with fiduciary gain and tangible assets physically expressing their answer i.e., bank accounts, cars, houses & land... None of those things have a bit to do with purpose and your life's work in showing God off, unless that's His intention in His will for your life. In other words, God doesn't mind the material just as long as you don't mind the material more than you mind His will being done, building His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven. Show God off while you still can because only what you do for Christ will last. So when Heaven reads it's final credits via The Lambs Book of Life, make sure your names part of Jesus' cast & crew.

I was blessed for attending service today. Pastor covered a familiar passage of scripture (Ps.23), shedding new light on things I've overlooked. I'll preface my blessing with the fact that, this past weeks youth study was taught along the same lines. I enjoy how The Spirit of God works that way. His msg. was about trust and prior to delivering his sermon, he spoke on identity. Know who you are. Thinking back, another minister came out of Ephesians on the same subject matter before Pastor preached...,SMH. Who you are is wrapped up in Christ. If you belong to Him then He has the blueprint, schematic, product code, etc., to your life. Why waste it trying to figure it out with Him. Psalms 23 states, "The Lord is my shepherd...". Pastor illustrated the workings of a shepherd's job in detail and one particular point rose poignantly to the the surface. Sheep wander but a shepherd constantly reels them back in and therein rests the blessing that I received. We stray. Whet

No one said this walk'd be easy but the journey with Christ makes it bearable. You always hear saints say,"just pray that God's Will be done",SMH. Let me clue you in on something, He doesn't need your prayers to fulfill His Will, it just sounds nice. This walk requires obedience which is better than sacrifice but requires sacrifice as well. It was Christ's obedience unto death and His role as The Ultimate Sacrifice atoning for the sins of all mankind that made this journey a reality. This walk requires private time with God in study, reflection, and meditation on/in His Word. God, in His infinite wisdom, takes hold of our hands i.e., lives, once we've accepted Him as Lord and Savior, taking us along like children across and through this journey. I recall song lyrics stating,"I'm glad He sees through eyes of love...". No one does it like my Dad in heaven. He's the imperial shot caller and I'd rather be an adopted son of His than a bast

When's the last time you took a serious account of your relationship with Christ? Are you living in the fullness of who He's created you to be or is there something missing..., John   10:10 , " The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" . A walk with Christ for a believer is a life long journey of faith and learning..., Proverbs 4:7, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy  getting get understanding.". Knowing who you are and what you're worth to your Father in heaven can greatly improve your daily living..., Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.". A saving, faith knowledge of the blood that was shed on calvary by One for the sins of many should, in simplest terms encourage you to "make your Fath
