Comfort
While we anticipate the rise of the sun each day so we can begin our list of chores, assignments, and complete our plans, we also deal with challenges. On some level, we all battle frustration, “aloneness,” hurt, and problems. Many times, we may feel it is “us” versus the “world” with no support from anyone. …
Condescend To Men Of Low Estate
In his book entitled, Balance: A Tried and Tested Formula for Church Growth, Ira North, in chapter seven, points us to the importance of helping the poor, the downtrodden, and the “lowly.” Brother North quotes Romans 12:16 (KJV) which says Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things but condescend to …

Can I Count On You?
During the early 1990’s, one of my favorite songs on the radio was called, “Can I Count On You?” The song is based on a young boy and girl who begin dating, marry, and go through life together. The music video of the song takes you through different stages of life that challenges them: job …
The Victory Depends on The Vision
I was born with extremely poor eyesight. My poor vision began to manifest itself in elementary school. At one point, in the sixth grade, my grades were horrible because of my vision. My mother was called in for a conference about my grades, I was terrified! I mean, the meeting wasn’t about some good news …
