Going Farther with a Father

Interracial Marriage

The father is so important to the family structure that his absence affects a generation of people negatively. The father is so important to the vision of a family that without his presence, you will notice a high level of instability and insecurity that is indicative of a family without a father. God ordained the father to be the leader of the home and has given him a natural gift and an anointing for that role. When the man is not in his ordained space, there will be no protection against avoidable adversity.

The absence of a father also makes it difficult to relate to God. God has positioned Himself as a Father and Jesus moved based upon the Words He heard from His Father. If ones experience is fatherless, then any analogy will be lost concerning a father’s role and Jesus relationship and our relationship to Him.  There is…

Exercising Godliness

Interracial Marriage

Our physical health is largely manipulated by our decision to eat right, exercise, and sleep well. When we take care of our temple, it will take care of our emotional health. Our spiritual health benefits as well. We have more energy to pray, discipline to fast, and the mental clarity to read and absorb Biblical principles. The Word of God (Bible) teaches us that “exercise helps a little, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come” (1 Timothy 4:8).

So, let us not miss the most important part in our life, which is living according to the wisdom that God commands. In our pursuits, let us acknowledge God. Do not allow your life to control you. Paul, mentioned that he disciplined his body to protect himself from living a hypocrites lifestyle and losing the reward that he was sharing…

Saved in Order to Do Good

Interracial Marriage

Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,² to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.

³ At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.⁴ But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,⁵ he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,⁶ whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,⁷ so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.⁸ This is a trustworthy saying. And…

The Family You Always Wanted

Interracial Marriage

I know that there is nothing better for men than to rejoice and do good while they live, and also that every man should eat and drink and find satisfaction in all his labor— this is the gift of God (Ecclesiastes 3:12-13). There, in the presence of the LORD your God, you and your households shall eat and rejoice in all you do, because the LORD your God has blessed you (Deuteronomy 12:7).

When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future (Ecclesiastes 7:14). The best thing that you can do is secure your eternal future by living for Jesus today.

Watch your words carefully and take the path least traveled. Do not seek the easy way or your children will pay for your error. It is one thing…

In Light of the Trial We Press On

Interracial Marriage

¹⁴ I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

¹⁶ Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

¹⁷ Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

¹⁸ (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

¹⁹ Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

²⁰ For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the…
