 Let's talk about it...☕🍩  Some folk are busy doing (preaching, teaching, prophesying, etc.) in His name/authority and don't even KNOW Him.  Some folk act like they believe they can reject His total kingship/reign in their hearts now and it won't matter when they're judged/tried in the balance later.  Let's talk about a two-headed snake that's slithering around in some churches: bigotry and racism. 🔷️ A bigot is a person who is unfair, hateful, or closed-minded toward people with different backgrounds, beliefs, or ways of life. They refuse to accept anyone who is not like them.  🔷️ A racist is a person who believes that some human races are better than others. It also describes actions, words, or rules that treat people unfairly because of their skin color, race, or ethnic background.  What does the Bible say about bigotry and racism?  The Bible strongly condemns them. It teaches that we are ALL made in God's image, He shows no favoritism, and discr...

It's in the past...move on and leave it there.  Let's talk about it... Folk agree People of Color faced hardships, degradation and discrimination in the past. Most are appalled it was allowed to happen.  Too many also believe it's all in the past and People of Color should just move on and leave it there.  Here's the thing, how can we leave it in the past when the mentality that resulted in the past hardships, degradation and discrimination is still present TODAY?  Laws have checked it by guaranteeing our rights to have fair and equal treatment, access and representation, but they didn't kill it. As we've seen recently, those restraints and guarantees are only as secure and sure as the folk in power allow them to be.  See, we know because our life experiences have repeatedly taught us that it's a bigoted, prejudiced, and racist teacher, boss, cop, politician, judge, doctor, business owner, co-worker, shopper, neighbor, pastor, church member, etc., encounter ...

Knowing and appreciating that Thomas Edison invented the light bulb is right and good, but knowing and appreciating that Lewis Latimer--a Black inventor--improved upon Edison's invention, making it more affordable and practical is just as important. Black History month--1 month out of 12--recognizes the great contributions Black Americans made in American history. Contributions that would otherwise get little or no acknowledgement. Black history month doesn't detract from American history in any way, it shines light upon and acknowledges the American history that's just as meaningful to the shaping of this Nation but not given as much "daylight".  Just keepin' it real...

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...

Seasoning racist and bigoted actions with Jesus' name and scripture doesn't disguise or change the flavor of the actions.  It does make becoming a Christian less appealing to those not like you.
