Jamal Bryant rips McCain-Palin ticket

I want to be clear. I do not subscribe to the doctrinal statements made by Jamal Bryant. I am aware of possible lifestyle lapses and marital discord that are supposed in his life. However there is a truth must be heard from his statements regarding the McCain-Palin ticket. I must admit that as she cannot effectively run the White House while mismanaging her own house. While I don't condemn her for house mismanagement, I cannot support her as a figurehead.

Ever had a day like this...?

Ever had what could be called a "Bad Day." Well relax and wait a second. Dr. CAW Clark candidly said, 'You've got to wait and see what the other days are going to be before you call this day bad. " You may find out the other days to come are bad.

When churches sin

When churches come short of their responsibility to actively equip and minister...
When churches never execute accountability and restoration...
When churches follow shallow forms of worship laced with unscanctioned, unholy holidays...
When churches open the doors of the church and never disciple those who truly come to the door(1)...
When churches bore the parishoners to the point they never want to darken a church stoop again...

We're wrong in certain instance and need to seek ways to engage and grow to worshipping in Spirit and Truth. God isn't getting glory during too many portions of our worships. Sure criticize my thoughts, but there are some people at home that understand and they'd love to come church yet they're church hopping!

Thomas A. Dorsey - Listen and tell me what You think

Have we forgotten what it means to truly minister through music? How many churches have choirs that are engulfed with people that truly don't desire to minister through music? Ministry through music provides an uplift and atmosphere that causes all around to 'Lift up their voice' in praise and worship. And by the way, I don't see a retirement age for worshipers! The benefit package is still the best around though!!!

Life, my bucket list

If your life were a novel, what would it's title be?
How many lines would have strikeouts because of life's missteps?
How many pages would be blank because of days lived without purpose?
How many chapters would be missing a punchline because of dreams unfulfilled?
How many books would end....

Fear God and Keep His Commandment for this is man's all.
- Ecclesiastes 12:13

Problem with Palin (Hockey Mom)

I've got a serious problem with the fact that Palin is being referred to as the Hockey Mom's choice as opposed to the Soccer's Mom's choice. My issue is the fact her self definition as a hockey mom in no way connects with the majority of African American or Hispanics. To me it seems that there is yet another blatant ignorance of the issues that affect the minority issues.
