A FATHER’S DAY MESSAGE

Today is one of the year’s most under-appreciated and often overlooked days. A day set aside to celebrate and honor our FATHERS has become a day of anger, rage, and venting because the men failed to step up to the plate and father their children.

From Self-Centered to God-Centered: Transforming Your Prayers to Seek His Face

A Message in Misfortune!

There’s always a lesson and a message in everything we go through in life. Today, I watched Mrs. Cara T. Newton-Thurston (an amazing lady by the way) share a profound message via Facebook Live as she recounted how someone broke into and attempted to steal her car. She rarely drives the car, so when she […]

All Things Work Together!

Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.” (John 13:7 NLT) Often times, you encounter situations in life that you may not completely understand like, “Why did I have to lose my job?”, “Why did my loved one have to die?”, or “Why didn’t I get that scholarship?” You […]
