Road to the Cross…

This weekend we commemorated the life of Jesus Christ during our Palm Sunday afternoon program. On Saturday evening, the hubby and I took some time out to watch the Gospel of John and I was impressed to watch how Jesus ministered boldly without any reservations to the people of his day. The King that the [...]

When home calls…

When home calls…

My sister in Christ, mentee and friend, Ritha, always wanted to go on a mission trip to Haiti. However, things just always seem to fall through. Then, on January 12th, 2010 a 7.0 magnitude Earthquake hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti and killed over 200,000 people. That did it for Ritha. She set out to go to Haiti and [...]

Why have you come? Part 2

On Tuesday, I attended prayer meeting at Brooklyn Tabernacle. Pastor Cymbala delivered an unusual sermon for a prayer meeting but it is one that we the people need to hear. He mentioned that the body of Christ have become spectators and no longer play an active part in the mission of the church. We attend [...]

Living Oprah My One-Year Experiment to Walk the Walk of the Queen of Talk Author: Robyn Okrant I have seen the poster before and everytime I did see it, it bothers me just a tad.

My body ached EVERYWHERE, my stomach was turning, my head felt heavy, etc. I whispered a prayer to God asking Him for strength to face another day. Immediately after I made my request, the [...]

Buckle down and just do it

The trimester is nearing an end and the pressure is on. I have two research papers due Sunday @ Midnight and I start a new Urban Ministry course this evening.

He’s greater than the walls

He’s greater than the walls

The people of Israel had come to Jericho and encountered a fortified wall that kept them from taking the city. How are we going to get pass that wall, Joshua? Do you see how tall and strong that wall is? Maybe God made a mistake. Maybe this is the one city we won’t be able [...]

From Maniac to Missionary

In Mark 5, we read of the demon possessed man who came to Jesus. He was living amongst the tombs and was described as being extremely violent and uncontrollable. They could not bind him at all. Not even chains were able to subdue this man. Night and day he would cry out and cut himself [...]

Saturday Psalms

This week I took some time to have a one-to-one moment with God. I needed reassurance and I knew that only he could provide it. As I communed with Him, the Spirit gave me three Psalms to ponder on. Although all three were amazing, one did stick out to me and I have chosen to [...]
