Jesus Died For All
Sitting in a local shopping mall, I began to reflect on one of the most important and profound truths ever to be revealed by the angels of God, the people of God, and God Himself. Jesus died for all. Friends, enemies, people I like and those I don’t give a hoot about. Americans, Canadians, Mexicans,…

Weak Reeds and Flickering Candles
Does a person have to scream and holler to prove they’re right? Must they write in ALL CAPS to get their point across? What would Jesus do? “He [would] not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle…” (Matthew 12:20 NLT) Big doesn’t spell best, loud doesn’t mean legitimate, and it’s not a…

Why Are So Many Opposed To Love?
Love imposed on the devil’s territory, invading his lies and darkness with truth and light. Love deposed the enemy from his place of command, subjecting him to the authority of all who call on the Name of Jesus. Love transposed spiritual authority and activity, so those who believe may establish righteousness throughout the earth. Love…

Are Preachers Ever Guilty Of Jealousy?
The biggest day of the year for church attendance has come and gone. Easter Sunday, the number one day of the year when pastors and church leaders around the globe attempt to woo the masses into visiting their church, and hopefully, become a regular member. Although I’m no longer a pastor, haven’t been for over…

Are You Hiding In The Bushes?
I’d like to begin this post with two questions. The first – “Are you hiding in the bushes?” The second – “Who’s in the bushes with you?” Not long after God created Adam and Eve, not long after He blessed them and told them to be fruitful and multiply, and shortly after telling them they…

Scared Out Of Hell
I remember the time, way back in 1975, that my soul cried out to God. A God I didn’t know, wasn’t sure if I wanted to know Him, and didn’t pay much attention to what people were telling me about Him. You know, all the “God loves you” jargon. No, I didn’t cry out…

Poor Steve Harvey
Poor Steve Harvey. Maybe he should have taken heed to the overplayed Aaron Rodgers television commercials for State Farm insurance. He should have “double-checked” the card before announcing Miss Columbia as the new Miss Universe. Poor Steve Harvey. After apologizing in front of 10 million viewers for his mistake, he got into even more…

Ritzy Lunch Experience
Some people might call Ritzy Lunch an old hotdog joint, while others may label it a dive. It’s not fancy enough for some, and too old fashioned for others. Ritzy Lunch is clean, but its tiles, walls, and clock are stained from years and years of patrons, and cooks, puffing away on their favorite smoke.…

Good Things Happen To Bad People
The question has been asked millions of times. “Why do bad things happen to good people?” Some, in an attempt to demonstrate their deep understanding of things beyond their comprehension, only make matters worse with their pat answers. Here’s a classic response: “Well, you know God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform.” Of…

A Precious Little Life
Today I had the privilege of holding my brand spanking new great niece. Maddie Lewis. What a pretty name. What a pretty little girl. I was the one rocking her as she celebrated her 12th hour outside her mommy’s tummy (pictured above). All I could do was stare at her, with tears in my eyes,…
