Fast is relative to time. What is time? Time moves according to how we interpret it. We can’t get it back so we should make the most of it. Whether it’s 5 minutes or 5 hours, time can go by quickly. The F.A.S.T. scripture study method will walk you through how to study God’s Word […]
Category: The Black Church
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.
Difference between Purpose and Calling
Now I knew my purpose was to serve (help) others. And I knew that ‘HOW’ has changed throughout my life. But I wasn’t aware that purpose is the same for all Christians. And I was clueless about the meaning of calling until recently. We all have the same purpose. Our purpose is to serve others […]
Critical Race Theory, Southern Baptist Convention and the Mass Black Exit part II
Before we jump into part II, catch up on part I of this Critical Race Theory, Southern Baptist Convention and the Mass Black Exit series. Y’all give me grace. I know it’s been 2 weeks but I wanted to share Part II from pure, honest, transparent intentions coming from a good place. Too many people […]
A breakdown of ‘Calling’
This one question usually stands out for me: What has God called you to do? Or what is your calling? I’ve heard of calling my whole life (wrote this blog post to explain it a little better) and still wasn’t sure what it meant. Or if I found mine. So I did some research. […]
Critical Race Theory, Southern Baptist Convention and the Mass Black Exit part I
Critical Race Theory was dispelled by The Southern Baptist Convention in a statement in 2019. Fall 2020 the previous occupant in D.C. made a stink and banned diversity training from all federal agencies and departments. A few weeks later that ignited confidence in the six Presidents of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminaries to hop on […]
Sin vs Situation
Last week, my Pastor preached and this stuck out with me. Like it hit me like a ton of bricks. Now this was an older sermon but for November she was replaying some of her past sermons as she took a sabbatical. And who would have thought that when I heard it live when she […]
The Memeification of the Black Church
The church has an image problem. And I don’t know if it cares to fix that. As someone who grew up in the church, left for 15 years and has come back, I have seen the evolution of how the church is viewed in the Black community. Especially among Millennials and Gen Xers. And it’s […]
Theology Wars
Building a church community free of Evangelicalism as well as oppressive theology to women is the future of the Black Church. As we continue to explore The DNA of the Black Church, we dive into theology wars. We’ll examine 3 different theologies that either have come through the Black Church or is being used. These […]
Tithing: Money Moves October 2020
2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of all [the spoil]. He is, first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, which means king of peace. 3 Without [any record of] father or mother, nor ancestral line, without [any record of] beginning of days (birth) nor ending […]
The Black Church: Religion vs. Relationship
The DNA of the Black Church wouldn’t exist without the church itself. This week we explore how the church became “too heavenly minded to do any earthly good” (fyi there’s no scripture in the Bible referencing this phrase, it’s just a phrase we use) and lost relationship along the way. Why it’s important to teach […]
