The beauty of a quiet place

I remember before I became a Christian, but was giving it serious thought, people would see some changes in my attitude about certain things and ask me about it, I would say that my lifestyle wasn’t lining up with the will of God, this was before I  ever studied God’s word to fully know His…

God Alone Wise

Someone posted this photo on Facebook and asked readers what would our response be to these statements. In my opinion these two questions Gregory asked are two rhetorical questions from a prideful heart, one who assumes to be wiser than God, as if destroying the devil to prevent sin is something God couldn’t have obviously…

Encouragement to be more discerning

I’m writing this post to help us remember to beware of wolves in sheep clothing as we are told in God’s word. “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s. clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of…

The Queen of Sheba according to The Bible

In some circles today there is much ado about where Christianity originated from. I won’t get into all the different theories but I want to talk briefly about one theory that claims that Christianity is a “white man’s religion”.

Waiting on the Lord

There was something I wanted badly recently but didn’t get it. It wasn’t until later when something better came along that I realized that if I had received what I wanted I would have missed what God had planned.  I sat and thought about this and begun to really realized why in scripture we are…
