Hebrews 1

I gotta feeling that I'm gonna mess up some peoples religious spirit; however, I must write what the Holy Spirit has me to write. GOD is no longer talking to prophets as HE had in the past. In the past we did not know that we could have a personal relationship with HIM. GOD wanted to have a personal relationship with mankind from the very beginning but it was impossible due to…

James 5

We all have heard about being patient; however, maybe the reasons there are so many in the body of CHIRST who are not patient are because patience is not taught. We are taught informally how to be inpatient. Patience is a virtue that must not be talked about but taught and exhibited in order to be learned. I'm always hearing my brothers and sisters in the body of CHIRST saying…

James 4

Is being humble to mean that we don’t realize what our contribution is? Nope. To be humble is to know what our contribution is without being arrogant and proud about it. To be seen yet not seen and to be heard yet not listened to. Being humble is to be in a position of being exalted yet not allowing it to overtake us and not willing to bend down to bring others up. Being humble…

James 3

What do you love to speak about? Is it your family; sports; work; school or people in general? What do you have to say about your chosen subject that will edify the hearer? Though I love to speak about JESUS; I can have a conversation about other things that go on in this great big world of ours. I enjoy speaking about the accomplishments made by my son, daughter, grandson and…

James 2

Born again CHRISTians are supposed to be living in the grace dispensation of GOD’s will. Yet, there are far too many Christians who are living according to the law. JESUS can be found in the Old Testament if we diligently seek for HIM. However, HE is nowhere to be found in the law. Moses was given the law by GOD to show mankind that we are lost without HIM. We are not equipped to live in this world without HIS guidance. The…

James 1

Temptations vary for people. For example; I can’t be tempted to steal from someone; because taking what I’ve not paid for or gifted to me, is not for me. I can be tempted however to over eat; when I know that I'm full; yet, what is left on my plate taste so good; I stuff it into my mouth. So what sins have I described here; envy, stealing and gluttony. However, my brother James have encouraged us by…

1 Peter 5

Being an elder myself; I am so sick hearted to hear and read about my fellow brothers in CHRIST JESUS who have been openly disgraced due to their selfish pride. We have been given a charge to shepherd the flock of GOD with a pure heart of a true servant; we are to oversee their growth in the precious Word of GOD. Some of us have gotten away with sin for so long; that we think…

1 Peter 4 -

I'm sure you may think that something is definitely wrong with me; for me to write rejoice in suffering. After all don’t we suffer enough? However, I promise you; with the help of the Holy Spirit you will see why we are to rejoice in suffering. First, always keep in mind that CHRIST suffered greatly for us in HIS flesh and the suffering that we have to go through or will go through will never…
