Often I sometimes wonder just how would I have responded and reacted if I was one of the twelve disciples who witnessed Jesus from Nazareth personal suffering, death, burial and resurrection? Would my thoughts, actions, and deeds be any different than the initial twelve that He elected?

With so much evil, treachery, and narcissism in our culture, all of which seemingly is both admired and rewarded, one may ask the question, what is the purpose and the impetus of being “good?” The answers to this question may be obtained in the story of a certain lawyer who posed a question to Jesus from Nazareth at the advent of His public ministry in Jerusalem centuries ago.

While it is our responsibility to honor and serve God by presenting ourselves as living sacrifices, it is God’s responsibility to us as His faithful people to prove Himself to be a true and almighty God. All life as we know it is in Him for He is without question the author and giver of all life on earth and in all of His created forms.

My never late than ever ending of the year spiritual encouragement /inspiration video entitled, " Making Your Night and Day...One of the Same!"

This video is for each of us who are 2017 victors and overcomers. The message is for the millions of "Everyday People" whose voices are not heard and seemingly, their lives appear to be without value or purpose.

As we all are quickly approaching the traditional celebration of the Holiday of Christmas, I was moved to revisit the Biblical record of the powerful prophetic writings from the prophets and the apostles concerning the physical coming of Jesus of Nazaret as The Messiah.

As I read through the most commonly told accounts about Jesus, I was drawn toward one person who is perhaps mentioned once in the Gospels. Below is my account of this man’s story and how his unique encounter…

There are simply three human conditions that to me, are the quintessential embodiment of Messiah’s love for us in a time where there are so much unhappiness and emptiness in people’s  lives where many are not content with what they possess.

As a child, there is one statement that was repeated to me over and over again, “If you lie, you will steal, if you steal, you will kill.” I must confess that as a child, I did not understand the essence of this statement until later on in my life. Those who would communicate this stern warning to me did so in hope that somehow I would seek after what was righteous and not those things that were wicked.

In my prayer time on this morning, I am ever concerned while very prayerful that no present evil within or without shall usurps the power and authority of God in all of this creation. As insane as America[and the world] is at present, I am writing the Body of Christ to remain committed to your first Love which is Christ, and to not compromise your heavenly position in Christ regardless of your current condition in this evil age.

Perhaps when America is at her very worst as a United Nation under God, there are many ways that a citizen of The Kingdom of God, can be Thankful.

Have you ever wondered what The Master was implying when He stated, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves in Matthew 10:16?

In this blog, it is my intention to highlight the central rationale behind this statement as I will communicate in the first person, what was discovered in my personal review of this text. I pray that it will serve as an encouragement to those who are disciples of The Master. [To enjoy the entire blog, please follow the link below]…

In the wake of what is happening in America today, I felt that it was very appropriate to re-post this blog after a year.

Just how do we value a human life?

Where have we gone wrong when as a culture, when we as fellow human beings, willfully disregard and destroy human life once we determine that a life, no longer has usefulness and or purpose in society?

Just how have we gone astray in thinking that it is okay to empower other human beings, within its liberal, secular social construct, to be the deciding factor in determining human worth, significance, consequence, condition,…

Exploitation and Marginalization of Living Souls

In an effort at not over-simplifying a very evil and complexed social problem of human trafficking, I wish to at least shed some light on some of the basic dramatic that undergird this systemic evil.

Where ever the society, and or leaders, or those who possess vast wealth, exploitation/marginalization will exist. Those who are unfaithful or unfamiliar with God’s covenants naturally will pursue wealth and status at…

Domestic violence touches the lives of Americans of all ages, leaving a devastating impact on women, men, and children of every background and circumstance. A family’s home becomes a place of fear, hopelessness, and desperation when her/his partner batters a woman/man, a child witness the…

In all of this life’s tragedies, 

none is greater,

not even death itself, than for any human,

to callously become conditioned to cease from Loving.

These seemingly brief and simplistic prayers are not only personal but they are reflective of the collective whole of the multitude of human beings who are impacted by recent tragedies in America and aboard. May God’s will and eternal covenants bear witness of His sovereignty and provisions throughout all…

The Unexamined Life

By, Alonzoe’ Thornton

The blessedness of having life essentially requires for each of us to at least examine our lives. This is an ongoing personal quest of Socratic inquiry that leads the seeker onto two roads. One of the roads is called the” Street of Divine Retribution.” Literally millions have found that this road leads them to a life of wrathful vengeance, which is devoid of peace and life. The other less traveled road is the “Street of…
