Last month, I shared a sermon series about generosity; and as I was preparing for the last sermon, something in the scripture hit me hard in my chest. In 2 Corinthians 8, The Apostle Paul was describing the generosity of the churches in Macedonia. There was a great need and the apostles were receiving relief … Continue reading True Colors
At over 32 million units sold, Michael Jackson's Thriller is by far the most successful recording in history. I just want that to sink in; after 35 years, no other record has sold more than this instant classic. It is the epitome of recorded music success, but at what point do we determine that it … Continue reading Thriller: An Argument Of Success
https://youtu.be/0hiUuL5uTKc I was working for a parcel delivery company, years ago. I was the only one working at the time, because my wife had two toddlers and a new one on the way at home. All of my coworkers knew my situation, so one day, a young lady I worked with, pulled me to … Continue reading This Is How We Do It
https://youtu.be/5wBTdfAkqGU California is a unique place, and the people who live there (I believe) love to tell you where they are from. They are fully aware that there is no other place like California. California is a destination for millions of vacationers and dreamers, with bright lights and big cities in their eyes. However, those … Continue reading California Love
https://youtu.be/vimZj8HW0Kg I've heard it seen at time and time again. A parent will get down on their knee and look their small child in the eyes and say something to the effect of, "I ain't raising no punk. Now, don't you start a fight, but you better not let them run over you." Growing … Continue reading Mama Said Knock You Out
https://youtu.be/sb2np1HGqxg?t=33s It is inevitable. Everyone is going to want something that they do not need. Not only that, but we will all at sometime want something that is bad, dangerous, or down right fatal for us. At some level, we are all fascinated with the excitement of thrills. Being daring and even cheating death is … Continue reading Poison
https://youtu.be/QjsPG0Kspxo I can remember as a kid in middle school, we would have the book fair. One of my favorite books to buy would be from the Where's Waldo series. These books contained illustrations of the main character, a tall guy with a glaring red and white striped sweater, and large round specs, in … Continue reading Passin’ Me By
https://youtu.be/_WcWHZc8s2I It really saddens me, that love has been reduced and devalued in such the way that it has. It's a word that we use so loosely, that it is no wonder that we have lost the truest sentiment of it. Love is in no wise ordinary. "Ordinary love" gives nothing, and seeks only to … Continue reading No Ordinary Love
https://youtu.be/2soGJXQAQec?t=50s There is so much in a name; more than many of us realize. Whatever you call anything is vitally important. The ancient Hebraic cultures understood this principle very well. There is a prophetic activation that happens when we name anything. In other words, it will become whatever you name it. My name is … Continue reading What’s My Name?
https://youtu.be/gomCkCbKHA4?t=40s More than likely, you're like me; in that road rage is a common thing. With people, I'm calm and patient, but if you get me behind the wheel, I have very little tolerance for anything that slows me down. Very rarely do I just drive aimlessly, mostly because gas is too expensive; but I … Continue reading No Parking
