I am a black man…duh! I have always been and always will be. I am raising black children – my wife being African American. My black life matters in the way I live my life to be a source of strength, encouragement, dignity, and victory to all people, to the glory of God. My blackContinueContinue reading “How Black Lives Matter Everyday”

The Letter Kills…
As a continuation of our discourse on wrath and vengeance, I wish to appeal to all those who believe in God and understand that we are sojourners, pilgrims, or strangers on this earth – (Phil. 3:20, 1 Peter 2:11) Say you were visiting a foreign land, you will not be as quick to get caughtContinueContinue reading “The Letter Kills…”
Man’s Wrath = God’s Righteousness?
I have been beside myself as I watch the wrath of man on display. The best way I could summarize it is an attempt of man to accomplish God’s righteousness for Him. I can understand when sinners act out of their ignorance but it is difficult to watch believers who join in and want toContinueContinue reading “Man’s Wrath = God’s Righteousness?”
I Didn’t know I Was Black!
I Didn’t Know I Was Black! What it Means I grew up amongst a black majority and therefore I never had the opportunity to be sensitized to the color of my skin. I came to the United States to realize what it meant and I had to go through a journey of self reflection toContinueContinue reading “I Didn’t know I Was Black!”
Reconciled to Reconcile!

The Christian and Social Issues

I think it was a clear case of racial profiling and vigilante policing. Having said that,ContinueContinue reading “The Christian and Social Issues”
Truth in Politics?
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. – Phil. 4:8 https://youtu.be/rShXvmR_b0A Politics can be tricky for the believer. Is there any truth in it? Can we navigate the trickery of men and stillContinueContinue reading “Truth in Politics?”
Jesus Paid Taxes!
https://youtu.be/Ld16yOor8uc This is a video about the debate on whether taxation is right. Jesus simply said we should give Caesar what belongs to him and God what belongs to Him (Mat. 22:21). Our lives belong to Him yet only a portion of our money goes to Caesar. In another instance, He gets a coin outContinueContinue reading “Jesus Paid Taxes!”

Why I’m Not A Republican and I Don’t Vote For Democrats
https://youtu.be/cQ96oOqhW6E This is always a controversial issue for many. I understand why. Political views are typically tied to very personal beliefs that people hold dear and are unwilling to let go of. This is why it is always very difficult to have a sober discussion around these issues. We all hold our own truths toContinueContinue reading “Why I’m Not A Republican and I Don’t Vote For Democrats”
