First of all, there are many black people doing the right things and making a positive differences in their communities, as well as in society in general. This is wonderful to see. I thank God for it. This post is not to offend anybody, but it is to address major problems instead of deflecting and running from these problems. This post is about accountability and the need for healing in black communities. A major problem...
Hello friends! In this post are a few friendly reminders about staying safe today and at all times. We live in increasingly dangerous times. Precautions, along with prayer are more necessary than ever. People are being victimized in all sorts of predicaments. Road rage is a growing problem. In many areas, gun violence is increasing. Ladies are being stalked, harassed, groped, randomly attacked, and sometimes snatched right off the streets, even in broad daylight. Some...
I hope that the new year is going well for you, friends. First off, I would love for you to check out the Challenges Of Faith Radio Program. I have co-hosted segments on the podcast with the producer, and host Gary McCants. I will leave links for you at the end of this post. A new year often means a fresh start in many regards. Along with any other time, the beginning of the year...
Well, it depends. No matter his social status, and the game he runs, a woman should focus on a man’s character when determining if he is the right man. This is regardless of appealing words that he may speak to her. Character is most important, even if her biological clock is ticking; even if he is very appealing aesthetically. It is good not to be focused only on someone’s success or appearance. Even if he...
“Women just don’t want to submit!” Is this usually true? Or is it that they do not want to submit under someone else’s terms, but want things God’s way? What does submit even mean? In religious circles, it is commonly propagated by both men and women that women just don’t want their man to be a leader. Women are accused of not wanting to yield to their husband’s loving leadership. The word submit means to yield...
For people who are single and desire marriage, it is always important to remember that there are still decent people who would make an ideal spouse. Not everyone means you or me harm. I could never fairly and truthfully say that all men are no good. No one can ever truthfully or fairly say that all women are no good. It’s simply not true. Every individual must be selective.The key is to learn to recognize...
With Christmas and the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ recently celebrated by many, I want to talk about another righteous man who was near and dear to our Savior. Based on Biblical account, He was an excellent husband to his wife Mary, the mother of Jesus. When I read the story of Mary and Joseph, I am blessed and impressed! Joseph was indeed a true example of godly masculinity. I believe that Mary and...
We are all commanded to love our neighbors as ourselves. We don’t have to wait for others to love us in general, before we show Christ-like love. What I am speaking of is love in a romantic relationship. Sometimes, a woman may get ahead of her man in love. Certainly, it may not be popular, but I believe the right way is to allow the man to lead in love. Above all, his actions over...
The reality is that every day is day of Thanksgiving. I know that there is a calendar day that is set aside annually for a day of Thanksgiving. I’m grateful for that. My immediate family and I live a bit of a distance from each other. We have many longer distant relatives scattered throughout different states. This is a time of year when especially my immediate family makes sure we gather together to reconnect, have...
Victims are not to blame for being victimized. Never. However, it is important for men and women to use wisdom and set boundaries in their relationships. Are you a woman who is in a relationship? Do you know your worth? How are you being treated? Are you being treated with: • Honor • Respect • Love • Kindness • Gentleness • Selfless consideration • Faithfulness? If you are not being treated well, what are you...
