Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. ~ John 15:20 I would like to humbly say that I am a humble person, but chances are that statement would haveContinueContinue reading “Pride Fail”

Who will speak for this woman?
Men have long denied those they have claimed to love the most. Women have long made the mistake of thinking men are greater than they are. Adam threw Eve under the bus and, as far as we know, up to a few moments before he denied responsibility for his woman – his love and hisContinueContinue reading “Who will speak for this woman?”
Pillar of salt or Salt of the Earth?
Lot reached the village just as the sun was rising over the horizon. Then the Lord rained down fire and burning sulfur from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah. He utterly destroyed them, along with the other cities and villages of the plain, wiping out all the people and every bit of vegetation. But Lot’sContinueContinue reading “Pillar of salt or Salt of the Earth?”
MAN & WIFE = LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT
MAN & WIFE = LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT by LaShawnda Jones “My goal with the two-projects-that-are-really-one, is to make them complimentary to each other. I have no desire for The Helper to outshine The Worker. Nor do I want The Worker to dominate The Helper. Just as in life and in marriage, the two should be both bearers of light and reflections ofContinueContinue reading “MAN & WIFE = LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT”
In Case of Emergency
Sunday, September 23, 2012 But God’s grace has made me what I am, and His grace to me was not wasted. ~ 1 Corinthians 15:10, NCV Now since we preached that Christ was raised from the dead, why do some of you say that people will not be raised from the dead? If no one is everContinueContinue reading “In Case of Emergency”
Trust no man…

Minister to me.
Minister: To attend to the wants and needs of others; to perform the functions of a cleric. According to my standards, I’ve been something of a whiney baby lately. I’ve grown tired of encouraging myself and have deeply desired for someone to minister to me. I’ve needed for someone to speak God’s word to me.ContinueContinue reading “Minister to me.”

Singing to a Barren Womb
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. ~ Colossians 3:16 I believe I’ve been fighting depression for many years. I believe Satan has been attacking me continually with very little respiteContinueContinue reading “Singing to a Barren Womb”
Awareness of Nakedness
For a number of years on my journey, I embraced the pain of honest self-exposure. At that time, I continually made myself vulnerable in my relational interactions. Truthfully, I can’t say that my vulnerability was well-received or treated well. I can’t report that my availability was appreciated or taken advantage of in a positive manner.ContinueContinue reading “Awareness of Nakedness”
