From the beginning of time, there have been people who have questioned God, His existence and His authority on morality including His view on sexuality. People have wanted to believe and adhere to their own ideologies and not be accountable to a supreme judge for their actions and shortcomings… and it is no different in today’s society. Merriam Webster’s Learners Dictionary defines morality as, “beliefs about what is right behavior and what is wrong behavior.” But who decides on what is right and wrong? Do I determine if murdering someone is morally ethical or not? Was Hitler right in putting […]

I had always felt that God had something big for my life, however, I just figured He would wait until I was ready. God had other plans, and when I was […]

Lately, News has been swirling about certain American government officials trying to serve up yet another land for peace deal between the Palestinians and Israelis. Capturing the world’s attention, this concept has been an ongoing process for years and will probably continue until Israel cedes to all of the conditions. During the Camp David Accords in 1978, Menachem Begin, the sixth Israeli Prime Minister, met with Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat at the White House, along with American President Jimmy Carter. After much negotiation, a Peace Treaty was signed between Israel and Egypt with numerous main objectives: Israel ceding the […]

Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere, has been in turmoil for decades and has had no real successful plan to fix the overwhelming problems it has faced. This country has been plagued with economic collapse, governmental corruption, poor health conditions, bad roads, little electricity, no real sewers, a huge trash dilemma, contaminated drinking water and very high unemployment. To make matters worse, in January 2010, a major earthquake devastated the capital city Port-au-Prince and at least 250,000 were killed and 1.3 million people lost their homes according to many estimates. Hundreds of thousands of hopeless people were looking […]

If you could find a good nickname for Satan, what would it be?  Of course, it’s “the deceiver”.  On the other hand how did Jesus describe Himself? John 14:6 records His words saying, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” He didn’t just say He knew the way, spoke the truth and lived the life, He said, “I AM.” This statement left no doubt as to who He knew Himself to be.  He was the embodiment of “the way, the truth and the life”. So, how do we live our lives and differentiate between the deceptions of Satan […]
