Is something I grew up in, left for 15 years and returned to. I’m sharing MY perspective on the Black Church, its history, its legacy, what we may not have learned from it as well as where it can improve.
Luke 8:15 (AMP)
15 But as for that seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word with a good and noble heart, and hold on to it tightly, and bear fruit with patience.
This is what I learned about fasting; spirit = God & soul = self. It is a divine challenge from God. He sets at strategic moments in our life. It is disconnecting from the world and reconnecting with God. A fast should be something you hear directly from God and not one pushed on you […]
Judeo-Christian prayer connects Fellowship between God and humans as a communion (experienced relationship) reflecting the forms of the social relations of humanity (such as friendship, groom-bride, parent-child). After studying prayer, I have less stress and pressure on myself. Praying is essentially talking to God in the name of Jesus who mediates on our behalf and […]
Discipleship is the foundation of the church. It’s one of the most important priorities of the church. Without it, you probably wouldn’t be attending church or even a follower of Christ. Yet, without Fellowship, Discipleship becomes stagnant. I want to break down Disciple(ship) so you understand why it’s needed in the church, how you become […]
Fellowship is more than “breaking bread”, eating together or spending time in the fellowship hall. Acts 2:42 is the most quoted scripture people want to recite when it comes to Fellowship but let me tell you there is more that involves Fellowship. The fact that Fellowship is not a focal point in all aspects of […]
A brief history of leadership titles in the Bible. This is not a comprehensive list or explanation. But to sum up what you’re familiar with, what their roles are and who God called above all others. Most often in the Christian community (i.e. churches, ministries, etc) the title of an individual states what type of respect […]
Complete the assessment below. (NOTE: I do not own nor created this assessment. This was created by Pastor Rick Warren.) This assessment will give you a full picture of your gifts, talents and abilities so you know what God has equipped you with. It’s a pretty long assessment and may take several days. That’s okay. […]
Dear God, In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Only you know how my life is supposed to turn out. I’m coming to you because things haven’t gone according to my plan. And that has caused some distress, hurt, frustration and anger in my daily life. The tiniest obstacle becomes much bigger than it should. […]
Salvation is our deliverance from the consequences of sin. Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. It is a gift freely given to us. One we do not have to do anything to receive including work for it. We profess publicly our faith to another Believer. Then we repent which means we turn […]
They definitely didn’t market this film as I think they should. Or maybe they did. It was not a comedy but a mockamentary that explored through a realistic lens of the competitiveness, ego-centric and shrinking that happens in some churches. Now y’all know I love the Black church but I’m all for bringing up critique […]
I will reflect on all you have done and meditate on your actions. Psalm 77:12 (Christian Standard Bible) This scripture is one that I often look at and meditate on when things are going just a little off the wall in my life. Sometimes it’s best if we just sit down and reflect on our […]
