" My Soul has grown deep like the rivers" one of my favorite quotes next to my tagline "Dream Big, Live Large and Go Hard" a significant line from the Langston Hughes poem " The Negro Speaks of Rivers" since the very first time that I read this poem in Ms Jackson's 10th grade English class it has resonated throughout my mind and my lifetime. It's 3:00 AM in the morning and once again another night where I'm sitting up pondering life's meaning, thinking of days gone by, chance conversations…

What's up people?

No, I didn't actually watch the VS Show last  night. I was watching Ohio State "whup" Duke's !#$!#%^%^&!!!  That was freakin' "awesome!"

I just happened to turn to the VS Show during commercial.(My cousin(Audrey Smaltz) actually coordinates the "behind-the-scene's" dress rehearsal at the VS Show.)

Anyway, I just HAD to comment on what I saw!  First of all, those were the…

I wondered after talking to a "saved" brother of mine in the black community the other day, if we as Black people are so miseducated about our national history , that we are offended by the truth about our Biblical heritage ? or is it that this truth will displace some of the carnality of mamonism that…

THANK GOD that He is our benevolent Creator who has given us not only life, health and strength in this mortal tenure, but the opportunity to see and know Him in His infinite and eternal glory, embodied in His only begotten Son, and our Savior, Jesus Christ.

THANK GOD for His infallible Word, which speaks to us, to teach and reveal Him, His will and His ways to us.

THANK GOD for His invitation…

If I were to say that I never grumble to You oh Lord, I would be a liar

but no matter how much I protest for one thing that You allow to occur,

I must praise You for a thousand good things. It is a fact, that I often moan

and make a fuss about every rotten situation I face in life, BUT who can remain

irate toward You, oh Lord…though my obstacles are numbered like the stars

above the sky, your unseen wonders in my life, out ran them all, by a thousand miles!

FOR…

THE FIRST LAW OF THE KINGDOM IS TO BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY, ANOTHER WORD INCREASE. GOD'S DESIRE IS FOR EVERYONE TO PROSPER. JEREMIAH 29:11 GOD'S PLAN FOR US IS NOT TO HARM US BUT TO PROSPER US…BUT IN ORDER FOR YOU TO PROSPER, YOU MUST NOT BE GREEDY FOR THE FORMULA TO PROSPERITY IS TO GIVE. THE SCRIPTURE SAYS I LUCK 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be…

Time is not anyone's friend

often we procrastinate without

ceasing…due to our carelessness

yet God's grace venture beyond

our ignorant; though, death prey

on those who lack knowledge of the Truth

When actions on my part, weigh,

God has been easy on me

who am I for God to care for…

HAVE MERCY ON ME OH GOD…THE GOD WHO SAVED ME!!! LORD GOD, THE GOD OF MERCY AND LOVE…THE GOD OF COMPASSION AND GRACE…LORD GOD, THE GOD WHO DELIVERS AND THE GOD WHO FORGIVES WHEN WE CONFESS OUR SINS. OUR FATHER, GOD, IN JESUS NAME I COME BEFORE YOUR THRONE TO CONFESS MY SINS TO YOU FOR I KNOW THAT I SIN CONSTANTLY AGAINST YOU. HAVE MERCY ON ME OH GOD, MY HOPE…DELIVER ME FROM MYSELF. HELP ME LORD GOD TO OVERCOME MYSELF SO THAT I DO NOT DO WHAT MY FLESH DESIRES RATHER WHAT YOUR SPIRIT ENABLES ME…

I HEAR SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING WHY IS "THIS JESUS" THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN? WHY YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS TRY TO THROW THAT "JEWISH MAN" OR "WHITE MAN" AT PEOPLE'S FACE AS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN?

JESUS IS NOT A WHITE MAN, JESUS IS NOT A BLACK MAN, JESUS IS NOT A LATINO, JESUS IS NOT A CHINESE MAN OR INDIAN BUT JESUS IS GOD…THE DELIVERER OF ALL MANKIND. JESUS IS THE SAVIOR OF THE WHOLE WORLD.



IF YOU'RE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE, I'M HERE TO…

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT TO ENTER INTO A CONFLICT WITH GOD IN THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT. GOD DOES NOT PLAY AT ALL. THE BIBLE SAYS HE IS A DEVOURING FIRE.

A DEVOURING FIRE!

HE TOUCHES THE MOUNTAIN, THE MOUNTAIN SMOKE INTO FLAME.

WHEN HE UPSET, SMOKE COMES OUT OF HIS NOSTRIL

BURNING FIRE COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH

LIGHTNINGS AND THUNDERS FLASHING BEFORE HIM

HE COMES DOWN ON THE MOUNTAIN, THE MOUNTAIN CRUMBLES

THE EARTH QUAKE AND THE ANIMALS…

OFTEN WE WALK IN DESPAIR, SADNESS AND GRIEVE. WE'RE CONSTANTLY ASKING OUR SELVES WHY, WHY, WHY? AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HEAR OUR WEEPING!

EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE OCCUPIED BY THEIR OWN SELFISHNESS.

WE WONDER IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE

WHO TRULY HEARS OUR GROANING…

IT SEEMS AS IF LIFE IS A ROLLER COASTER

AND WE'RE RIDING RIGHT ON TOP OF IT

EXCEPT THIS ROLLER COASTER IS SELF CONTROL

IT HAS NO INTENSION OF SLOWING DOWN

OR BE RESTRAINED BY ANYONE

IT GIVES NO…

HOW CAN YOU COMPARE ANYONE TO JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH?

WHO CAN DARE TO PROCLAIM THE THINGS THAT JESUS DONE?

JESUS SAYS I WAS DEAD AND NOW I'M ALIVE AND FOREVER MORE

I HOLD THE KEY TO DEATH.

IS THERE ANYONE AMONG THE FALSE gods OR THE FALSES PROPHETS

WHO CAN SAY THAT.

CAN BUDDHA SAY THAT?

CAN MOHAMMED SAY THAT?

CAN FARAKHAN SAY THAT?

CAN HAILE SELASSIE SAY THAT?

CAN OPRAH SAY THAT?

CAN ANY OF THE DEMONS SAY THAT?

CAN SATAN…

FEAR NOT FOR I'M WITH YOU ALWAYS SAYS JESUS CHRIST!

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE MULTITUDE THAT SURROUNDING YOU

FOR THE ONE WHO IS WITH YOU IS GREATER

THAN THE ONE IN THE WORLD!!!

DID I NOT TELL YOU THAT I WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU?

DID I EVER MADE A PROMISE THAT I COULD NOT KEPT

HAVE I EVER LET ANYONE DOWN

IS THERE ANYTHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DO?

AM I NOT THE GOD OF THE IMPOSSIBLE?

AM I A MAN TO CHANGE MY MIND

OR THE SON OF MAN TO LIE?…

PRAISED BE THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR CHOSEN ME EVEN BEFORE THE UNIVERSE WAS MADE… JESUS HAS NEVER FORSAKEN ME AND HE WILL NEVER DO!

BECAUSE, JESUS IS FAITHFUL, COMPASSIONATE AND MERCIFUL!!!

DO YOU KNOW YOUR VALUE IN THIS WORLD?

THE WORLD MIGHT VIEW YOU AS NOTHING BUT EMPTY HEADED

BUT IN CHRIST, YOU ARE ALL THAT!!!

IT IS NOT IMPORTANT AS TO HOW OTHER PEOPLE PERCEIVE YOU

RATHER WHAT YOU ARE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST

DO NOT LET…

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG TO BE RICH AND HAVE ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD TO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT

LIVING IN MANSION, CUSTOM MADE FOR YOU

CUSTOM MADE VEHICLE WITH YOUR OWN LOGO

TRAVEL THE WORLD AT YOUR WILL …

JUST PLAN LIVING LARGE!

I HAVE NO PROBLE WITH THAT OR PEOPLE WHO ARE LIKE THAT

BUT IF YOU HAVE ALL THAT AND YOU DO NOT HAVE JESUS CHRIST

AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR, YOU ARE NOTHING AT ALL!!!

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BEST FOR YOU NEVER TO HAVE EXISTED!

THE…

GREETING TO YOU MY FRIENDS…MAY THE PEACE AND GRACE OF MY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOU. 

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, FRIENDS.

WHAT WILL YOU SAY TO GOD IN YOUR DEFENSE WHEN YOU STAND BEFORE HIM IN THE GREAT WHITE THRONE, JUDGEMENT DAY? 

WILL YOU BE ABLE TO CHALLENGE HIM LIKE YOU ARE CHALLENGING HIS WORD TODAY…WILL YOU BE ABLE TO MOCK HIM,…

EVERYONE SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH THIS TERM EVEN IF YOU NEVER OPEN A BIBLE. MANY PEOPLE ARE CLAIMING THAT THEY HAVE NOT SIN

AND IF THEY DIE, THEY SHOULD BE ALLOWED INTO HEAVEN

BECAUSE THEY CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE "GOOD PEOPLE"

FOR THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE NOT KILLED OR STOLEN FROM ANYONE.

ARE YOU ONE OF THESE INDIVIDUALS WHO REASON LIKE THAT?

IF YOU ARE, MY FRIENDS, YOU'VE BEEN DECEIVED OR YOU'RE SIMPLY

DECEIVING YOURSELF! ONE THING THAT EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER…

IF YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST THEN YOU ARE SAVED. 

IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, 

YOU ARE ALREADY CONDEMNED! 

ACCEPTING JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR IS TO ACCEPT LIFE

BUT REJECTING JESUS AND EMBRACE THE WORLD IS TO REJECT LIFE

IN THE END, GOD DOES NOT CONDEMNED ANYONE RATHER

EVERYONE MAKES HIS/HER CHOICE!…

THERE ARE MANY WAYS…MILLIONS OF THEM. AMONG THEM, THERE IS A PARTICULAR WAY, A 1 WAY THAT LEADS STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN BUT YOU MUST FIRST OBTAIN A VISA OF SALVATION FROM JESUS CHRIST BY GIVING YOUR LIFE TO HIM IN EXCHANGE TO BE QUALIFIED TO GET ON THAT Road. IT IS A NARROW, A RIGID, A tactical, A hardcore agility test road where only THOSE WHO RESIST TO THE END WILL RECEIVE THE CROWN OF LIFE. That Road has all kind of problems (Psalm 34:19). Temptations are always hitchhiking on this Road…

SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN SEEKING FOR SOMETHING FROM GOD FOR YEARS, GOD HAS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR BEFORE YOU EVEN ASKED HIM FOR IT BUT HE CANNOT GIVE IT TO YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO PLACE IN YOUR LIFE TO STORE IT.

YOU MUST GET RID OF ALL THESE PAST THINGS, CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HINDER GOD'S PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE. YOUR LIFE IS LIKE A COMPUTER HARD DRIVE, IF THE MEMORY IS FULL THEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO STORE OR SAVE ANYTHING IN THAT COMPUTER BECAUSE THERE IS NOT SPACE. IT IS TIME FOR YOU…
