Will of The Father & The Greed of Man
“I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; A Star shall come out of Jacob; A Scepter shall rise out of Israel, And batter the brow of Moab, And destroy all the sons of tumult.” (Numbers 24:17, NKJV) Greed has led to the demise of many from ages past and is even more evident today. Balaam…

Agents of Chaos
Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men; 2 and they rose up before Moses with some of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, representatives…

A Boorish Time For Boorish Man
“I am more boorish than anyone, I lack human discernment; I have not learned enough wisdom to know the Holy One”. (Proverbs 30:2-3, CJB) Dear diary, I it has a while since we’ve shared our thoughts. I would love to bring you what you would consider “happy thoughts” but the world refuses to bring them…

The Psalmist’s Testimony
1. Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. For too many years of my life I walked in the counsel of the ungodly; in fact, I was ungodly. As I reflect on much of my…

Immerse Yourself In Scripture
There is a flood of information coming our way on a hourly basis and much of it is very convincing. But is that information all true? The enemy deceives us with partial truths and the only way to counter these attacks is to know the truth. We do this by immersing ourselves in scripture and prayer…

“To What End?”
Someone asked me, “why does it matter that when know when Jesus returns, to what end do we look for signs?” How would you answer that question? Is that a question that you have even pondered? Tomorrow, or even the next breath, is promised to no one. That’s something we don’t often think about and…

Voice of the Prophet
Instructions from Jeremiah 18: O America, can the Lord not do with you as he did to Israel and as a potter does with his clay? Look as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in His hand, O America! The instant the Lord speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom,…

The Heart Of Christ
I am confronted daily with convictions that seem to run counter to a great deal of what many in the church hold to, especially prominent figures who so many look to for guidance. ” Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength” (Jer 17:5). This is especially true today after…

Christianity & Party Politics
Growing up in St. Elizabeth Jamaica I was pretty sheltered from the divisive politics that went on in the inner cities. People from competing parties sat together on election night to watch as the voting results are reported and at the end of the night the winning party’s supporter celebrate while the others argue a…

Politics vs Christianity
I’ve heard many Christian political commentators explaining why they vote the way they do while almost condemning those who vote the other way. Don’t each person have the same right to vote on what’s important to him or her? Listening to two professing Christian radio hosts explain why they voted for Mitt Romney in 2012…

“When Avram was 99 years old Adonai appeared to Avram and said to him, “I am El Shaddai [God Almighty]. Walk in my presence and be pure-hearted“” (Gen 17:1, CJB). With everything we are witnessing around the world today it is hard to keep our thoughts from drifting; maybe even to unhealthy places. The Book of Genesis retells a

Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. Now in my prosperity I said, “I shall never be moved.” Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was

Psalm 26: A Psalm of David. Vindicate me, O Lord, For I have walked in my integrity. I have also trusted in the Lord; I shall not slip. 2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart. 3 For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes, And I have walked in Your truth. 4 I have not sat with idolatrous mortals, Nor will I go in with hypocrites. 5 I have

If a trumpet is blown in a city, will not the people be afraid? If there is calamity in a city, will not the Lord have done it? Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who

“With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. For You will save the humble people, But will bring down haughty looks.” (Psalm 18:25-27) The Merriam-Webster Dictionary describes shrewd “as having or showing a practical cleverness or

Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men. They speak idly everyone with his neighbor; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak. May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaks proud things, who have said, “With our tongue we

” I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill” (Psalm 3:4). Do you pray knowing that God hears your prayer and has already given a response? One of David’s many gifts was his ability to pray with confidence that the Lord had already answered him. The Psalms can

“I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive”. (John 5:43) It is difficult not to come to the conclusion that the Church in America has abdicated its authority to political usurpers who feed on it for political gain; like

“Because of the transgressions of a land, many are its princes; but by a man of understanding and knowledge right will be prolonged” (Proverbs 28:2).

“Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words”.
