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.

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…

Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into
