Wait...Hold Up...Christians Did What?

Wait...did Christians really go to D.C. to pray for America to turn to God BY electing a man who's a rapist, racist, bigot, con, habitual liar, and contentious, divisive, unrepentant convicted criminal? 😮😮 and 😮. Please help me to understand this. And let me say right off the bat that I don't buy those "If God could use..." churchy sounding justifications 🙅🏾‍♀️. True, He did use those folk for His purposes but they also repented. The guy these Trump followers are exalting--by his own admission--has NEVER repented of anything. I'm all for humbling ourselves, turning from wicked ways, and seeking Him. I would LOVE to see everyone accept the work Christ did for us on the cross and make right Bible supported choices. Wouldn't that be wonderful?  What I am NOT for is trying to elevate a man (flesh) who personifies everything Christ and Christianity is NOT to be the catalyst the Lord needs to heal this Nation. Especially, when that same man is the conduit for m

How Much Lower Can They Go?

They've thrown everything but the kitchen sink at this woman, trying to stop her momentum. They've tried to make Kamala Harris a racist, saying she hates Jewish people...it didn't work because her husband is Jewish. They're trying to use her past to slut shame her. To every woman joining in this nasty, low rating, and denigrating bashing of another woman, you actually went there?!?! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU!!! This is compounded crazy for you wholeheartedly support a sleazy rapist who repeatedly cheated on his wives and slept with porn stars. They try to tarnish her reputation as a prosecutor and end up contradicting each other: She kept folk in prison for cheap labor...She was too soft on crime. They accuse her of doing all kinds of despicable things during her career. A quick Google search debunks the lies. Then, they went lower and took aim at her race. They said because she's multiracial--her father is Jamaican and her mother is Indian--she's not Black. Of

Selective Christian Angst

Let's talk about the angst over the skit at the opening Olympics ceremony. Does it bother me? A couple of things... 1. The portrait of the Lord's Supper was an artist's rendering of his interpretation of how that event looked. What he painted was in his imagination. Just like that White Jesus with the long golden hair is not a picture of the real Jesus. We don't know exactly what He looked like but we do know...that isn't it. 2. We view things from our own Christian perspective. Some Christians will try to slap a deep spiritual meaning on a fly buzzing by. Others just see a dirty fly and try to swat it away. 3. Christianity has different flavors around the world. What's mega Christian to you, may not be of grave importance to me. Ex. Religious statues. For some, religious statues are just appreciated as great works of art. For others, they are sacred objects. 4. I expect more from folk who say they share my faith than those who don't or whose faith is unknow

Christian Nationalism - What Is It Really All About?

What is it really about? 🤔 Christian Nationalism ignores scripture as it tramples on folk in its fervor to "reclaim" America for God by making the religious beliefs of a subset of this Nation into laws that govern all of the Nation. Here are just two of those scriptures that's inconvenient to their cause. John 18:36 NKJV 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.” John 14:2-3 NKJV  2 In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. The Lord never asked us to make this world His by force...forcing folk to right living and choices by making our religious beliefs and interpretation of scripture into laws. He told us to let our

Just Teach Them 2 + 2 = 4 and The ABCs.

I love the Word of God. There is no other written word like it.  I also believe Christianity is all about choice.  * We chose to believe the Word.  * We chose to accept the work Christ did for us on the cross.  * We chose to obey or disobey the Word of God.  Christianity is not about force feeding or ramming the Word down anyone's throats. That is NOT what "compel them to come" means.  Force feeding and ramming the Word down someone's throat only satisfies the religious hypocrisy of the people doing the ramming.  Government officials are mandating that the Bible and Ten Commandments (which are also a part of the Bible) be taught in schools.  Some Christians are having praise breaks because of the rulings.  Let me ask you this: If a Muslim becomes a State Governor or School Superintendent and mandates that their religious text, the Koran, be taught in schools, will Christians think that's worthy of a praise break? Will they be ecstatic about their little Johnny and

It Doesn't Wash

Christians are justifying voting for Donald Trump by saying they're voting for a President, not a pastor. Statements like those get scoffed at and generate push back against the Church because the following is how their actions are really viewed:  If the person you vote for is a murderer, you are supporting a murderer. If they're a serial killer, you're supporting a serial killer. If they're a bigot/racist, you're supporting a bigot/racist. If they're a rapist, you're supporting a rapist. If they're a habitual liar, you're supporting a habitual liar. If they're a nasty and contentious person, you're supporting a nasty and contentious person. If they're a cheat and con, you're supporting a cheat and con.  So...these quips flying around as justification just don't wash, especially with the world...you know, those souls we're supposed to be winning for Christ. Just keepin' it real...

Grow Up Already!

Being a Babe in Christ isn't about the number of years you've been professing to be a Christian. It has everything to do with how carnal (can't understand or apply the truth of the Word, controlled by fleshly desires, wants, and passions) you are. We start out as Babes in Christ when we first become Christians but at some point, there should be/has to be some growth. We have to "grow up".  Some folk have been Christians for decades but are still Babes in Christ. They're just as carnal now as they were on day one of their conversion.   They see themselves as mighty lions when they're still babes that can only digest formula and pablum. They need constant and repeated redirection from things, people, and choices that can hurt or mislead them. It's easy to identify the Babes in Christ by what they do, what they allow, and without a doubt...what comes out of their mouths. Just keepin' it real...
