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. While we often see victory against these adversaries through the Spirit of Christ abiding in us, we must honestly […]
Malcolm X’s intelligence & oratorical excellence eventually made him the mouthpiece for the Nation of Islam movement.
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 […]
“30′s the new 20, I’m so hot still.” – Jay Z (30-Something) As Jigga declared that age and maturity were to be embraced by hip hop and it’s listeners, many people followed suit. No longer is an older listener of hip hop being portrayed as the clock-rocking Flavor Flav. Now we see older more mature […]
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4 My Fear: “Till Death” “Quina, will you marry me?” “Yyyeess…but…is there any way for us to ensure that we’ll grow old together until […]
Most of us have the same recurring experience week in and week out. We show up to church. We sing songs of worship to God. We hear a message about God. We have a powerful encounter with God. Maybe during the songs our passions are stirred. Maybe during the sermon something really hits home. Maybe […]
Over the years the question that has gained considerable notoriety is, “What must I do to be saved?” Unbeknownst to him, the Philippian Jailor popularized this request. It is the ideal question we desire anyone with whom we share the gospel to ask. However, is it tenable to ask this question differently, while eliciting a […]
“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.” Philippians 2:1-2 Paul’s experience with the city of Philippi is no mystery to […]
Be Still, My Soul Psalm 131 O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is […]
Observing young children play any sport with a ball is entertaining. Aside from the fact that their hand and feet coordination are still developing, they have little awareness of the other players around them. When I watch my six-year-old niece play t-ball, I cringe every time I see two or more children sprint as fast […]
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm 46:10-11 Psalm 46 is a song of triumph that declares the Lord’s adequacy to provide stability for his people. The psalmist magnifies the Lord as his people’s secure defense from two exceedingly unstable […]
Over the last decade, Christian involvement in “social justice” has gained popularity and momentum in America. However, Christian engagement in social justice is not new to the landscape. Contributions by African American Christians to aid free slaves and the intellectual contributions of Walter Rauschenbusch are a couple examples of this. Committing to just a cursory […]
I keep seeing you in that moment. I keep seeing that moment, flipping it around in my mind. I keep going back to that moment. Over the years, I am struck in a different way each time. How can one moment be my answer to everything? How can it encapsulate everything there is? All that […]
Lost! Confused! Frustrated! I was drowning in those emotions at the first and last church planting training I attended. Please don’t get me wrong! [pullquote]The information was great but I didn’t see how it applied to my distinctive ministry context.[/pullquote] None of the speakers looked like me. None of them spoke to the realities of church […]
Quick! What comes to mind when you think of the book of Numbers? Census statistics. Ritual laws. History. Whatever comes to mind it’s probably not a stirring exposition of Scripture that points to Christ and leaves grown men literally weeping. But that’s exactly what Reformed Theological Seminary Chancellor and RAAN Advisory Board Member, Ligon Duncan, […]
Diversity is being pushed big time in today’s marketplace. If you run a business, the topic of diversity will undoubtedly come up. For many companies diversity is one of their building blocks. And schools do as much as possible to ensure that they won’t see a majority of any people group. We have options to […]
“I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. You make known to […]
Editors Note: I chose to use this headline because I thought strong language was appropriate considering the seriousness of what is taking place overseas to our brothers and sisters. I think the phrase “n*gger of the global world” appropriately provides a helpful (though not perfect) visual to the suffering, dehumanization and overall treatment of many Christians […]
