Who is Going to Help the Next "Freddie Gray"? The LIE that Destroys the Soul

Image
"Freddie Grays" grow up knowing a life of crime. We have all seen his long rap sheet of mostly narcotic selling busts, but he was also doing burglary and other crimes. This is the life of many young people into their adulthood; it is the life they know. These are serious issues that need real honest answers. Freddie Gray is one individual and his life tragically ended; his death is being mourned by those who knew him and loved him. But can we as a society learn from the life and death of Freddie Gray? Can we make it have meaning and value for us to make changes?

When he got caught he faked his own death to escape going to prison. I realize faking your own death is a really DUMB thing to do but a 19 year old who think

Micah - Just and Merciful God Explained

Image
Several weeks back, I wrote a beginning post on the Book of Micah , but I was not able to cover all the great verses that fill this book. I thought it would be helpful to write a second article on this hopeful book. Truly the lessons from God's Word are endless As with all of the books of prophecy in the Bible, we clearly can read what is the cause of judgement on individuals and nations by God. Micah 1: 5 says, "All of this is for transgression of Jacob and for the sins of the house of Israel." Transgression and Sin God repeats this so much in the Bible; evidently, He understands how much we ignore Him. It is like He has to drum this message into the heads of humans, and still we question why these bad things happening in the world. Murder. Slavery. Rape. Abuse. Theft. Lies. Corruption. Burnings. Beheadings. Evil abounds! Reading a newspaper, listening to the news or watching reports of current events can be so depressing. Evil is out of control. In Micah

Unlock Your Inheritance

I write my blog post ahead of time and try to review them before they publish to check for errors and to make sure they flow. It is amazing to see how I wrote with so much confidence and authority just a few weeks or maybe a month or two ago, and now I am struggling so much in my life. I read this afresh and wonder where is the strong Christian lady who wrote this; I can't find her within me. But still I know the power of the Word to transform and to build faith because God says, "Faith comes by hearing the word of God" (Romans 10:17). Oh, God I pray that you will restore within my spirit and my body and my soul that faith I had when I wrote this because now is the time and I need YOU fully inside me to remove all doubts and the onslaught of the enemy. I pray this for myself personally but ask you to answer it for anyone else who is willing to pray. _______________________ God can provide the super abundance grace to unlock your inheritance; though you know not wha

The Neglected Book of Nahum

Image
Have you ever heard a sermon on the Old Testament Book of the Bible Nahum? I have not and I have been in churches for thirty years. Why is the Book of Nahum neglected? What does he say that gives no inspiration for a sermon? Why was the Book put in the Bible if it is not worthy of a message? Well, I will give one hint. It does not end well in the Book of Nahum. How many cities today need to hear what will happen to them if they do not heed God and His Word? If you are sinner hearing the book of Nahum, it should cause you to tremble. Seeker-friendly churches don't want to give this kind of message. Prophets were the Messengers of their time! We all love stories that end well; And they lived happily ever after again. Whew! But is this reality? We need to tell that God will punish unrighteousness. Revelation makes it clear in the end days many will experience God's vengeance, that is, those who are not covered in the "righteousness of Christ." We live today in a

I Have Confessed My Sins - Now What Do I Do?

Image
Confession is important. It is admitting we have done something wrong. God teaches in the Bible that there are two types of confession. One confession is a humanly sorrow; another type of confession is a godly sorrow. The type of confession will make a big difference in what happens after the confession is made. 2 Types of Confession (9hey on Deviantarat) In both types, a person can feel genuinely bad, remorseful and hurt from the pain they feel and the pain they have caused others. A person can also admit to their sins in both and say they are sorry. They also feel guilt and shame. So, What is the Difference? This is how Paul explains it in his second letter to the Corinthians, since his first letter to them confronted their sins. For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it— for  I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while—  I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful t
