Stop Frontin'

Let's talk about it.

If you need something from me, the best way to ensure you WON'T get it is to talk trash about me, lie on/about me, threaten me, attack me or mess with mine.

I know Christians are supposed to turn the other cheek...Be honest, after a hit and a "stingin' cheek", you're saying, "Jesus, give me 5 minutes to handle this...just 5," AS you're tensing to go all in. Even if you don't make a move, it's zooming around full speed in your mind, so don't go gettin' all deep. 😁

The older I get, the less patience I have with religious hypocrisy. The older I get, the more I also hear, "Shut your mouth!", "Swallow it!", "Don't say it!" and "Delete it!"😁 I die daily. 😳 Thank God for His grace and mercy. 😁

I grew up in a Holiness Pentecostal church...a sanctified church. Even though I wasn't a Christian, I knew what being a Christian was all about. It wasn't until a COGIC Missionary Evangelist led a revival meeting at my church and had a "real talk" session with the young married couples and teenagers that becoming a Christian became attractive to me. 

In fact, she effectively ministered to others that attended that session with me and they also became Christians.

There's no doubt she was anointed but she was also REAL.

When I had book signings at Christian bookstores, my purpose was two-fold: Sell books and genuinely minister out of my experiences. Books sold, but prayer and ministry also happened. 

🗣 You can reach more people being real than you can by putting on phoney religious airs that folk can see through anyway...stop frontin'.

Just keepin' it real...

Will He Know Me?

You know, folk are worshipping so many different versions of God: * The version created using cherry-picked scripture. * A version wearing a red MAGA hat.  * A Christian Nationalists version. * A white supremacist version. * A version who's closed fisted and selfish. * A version who cares more about money than people. * A version painted by Trump's prophets. * A version that's hateful, racist, and bigoted. * The version who approves lawlessness, inequity, and injustice. * The version who approves any and everything.  * The version who winks at sin dependent upon the person doing the sinning. * The version who cares more about politics than His creations. * The one where the body (which will turn to dust) of man is more important than the soul of man. * A version devoid of empathy and kindness. . . . I can choose or craft any version of God that supports my personal agenda, preferences, biases, politics, and any version to use as a whip to ensure my personal comfort and prop...
