Note: This post originally appeared in Thistle, the online blog of Covenant Theological Seminary. The recent situation in Ferguson has brought out a lot of emotions and actions that seem to have taken most of the United States by surprise. However, I believe that most black people in the country would say that there are […]
Who am I? It’s the question I’ve asked myself over and over. Left unanswered, I made countless attempts to leech onto silly new identity trends for validation. However, in the depths of my soul, I was convinced and terrified that I had no real identity. Who Am I? To the whites, I am the Jamaican-American […]
Contentment. Depending on your story that word can trigger a myriad of emotions. Many people misunderstand contentment to denote the absence of desire, when, in Christ, it is the authenticity and expression of desire that leads to genuine contentment. King David, beautifully models the coexistence of contentment and desire throughout his prayers in the Book […]
I have to admit that when the Holy Ghost first put it on my heart to write about death and our response to it, I was hesitant. Death is a touchy topic and everyone has been affected by it. My intentions are not to cause anyone more pain. I also do not want to minimize […]
In theory police officers should be one of the most welcome presences in our communities. Their job is to protect the neighborhood and serve its citizens. We should be eager to engage our law enforcement officials if there are problems where we live, and we should also celebrate their work. I can’t speak for all […]

Uh Oh The flight attendants already explained the aircraft’s safety precautions, the seatbelt light was on, and the plane was moving down the runway when DING!–it dawned on me I hadn’t prayed! So of course, I proceeded to pray. I asked God to keep us safe on the flight, to provide a safe landing when […]
If I had walked in late to the final plenary session at the inaugural Cross Conference, I would have simply thought I was listening to an impassioned sermon. But Pastor David Platt’s point in that session was to demonstrate that Scripture itself can be preached and the word of God should evoke a response at least as […]
I’m getting married in 78 days. Most of the time, that reality hasn’t fully settled in on me. If you’d have asked me ten years ago what I hoped my future husband would be like, I would’ve laughed: nobody will want to marry me. Nobody could love this. You’re talking crazy talk! As my friendship […]

Any believer, truly aware of the inclinations of his heart, knows that he is prone to wander from Christ. We wage war against our flesh, satanic forces, and various worldly systems established in hostility to God.

I had played this day out in my head for what seemed like forever. Hypothetical questions would run through my brain. What would I say? Would I be angry? What will his voice sound like? Would he even say sorry? My whole life had been spent without any existence of my biological father and when […]
