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 caughtContinue 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 toContinue 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.

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 outContinue reading "Jesus Paid Taxes!"

Why I’m Not A Republican and I Don’t Vote For Democrats
