Why is tithing one of the most hated topics in church? Most people think that a church is only after your money. I am sure for some that may be true, but for most it is not. Church like every other organization needs money to survive and without a steady income, the church is likely […]

Freedom
Are you a slave to something? If you answered no, I highly advise you to rethink. Almost everyone is a slave to something. There is a quote by Harriet Tubman that states “I freed thousands of slaves. I could have freed thousands more, if they had known they were slaves.” However, historians cannot find any […]
Respect
I am back to hearing and seeing that respect is earned, not given. If everyone has this attitude, then how does anyone earn respect? The answer is you cannot unless someone makes the first move and lets face it, in today’s world no one makes a first move because that is a sign of weakness. […]
Christmas
I know that I have said I hate this time of the year, but that is not 100% true. I love Christmas time as it is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. I just hate what it has become and what it brings out in people. Christmas used to start the Friday after […]
Forgetful
I do not know about you all, but there are times where I forget what I was about to do. I had a different message for tonight that was similar to last nights, but I have pretty much forgotten what I was going to write. This could be due to the fact that there are […]

To Serve
We were born to serve. I know it is hard to believe since our parents have told us how special we are and how much the world owes us, but sorry you and I and everyone else was put here to help others. Think of it this way, did Christ come to server or be […]

It is Christmas season and one of my favorite movies is the Christmas Carol or Scrooge. There are many versions and I think they are all good. The reason I brought this up is because I am thinking that I am like Scrooge. I give money pretty freely, but it is my heart that I […]
Aggressive Driving
I am an aggressive driver. In fact at times I am a bit of a bully on the road and I have no problem admitting that. I am also not ashamed of it. To me a car is a tool that is meant to get us from point A to point B. There are rules […]
Being Thankful
People just do not realize how much God has done for them. Think about this, God sent His only son to die for our sins so that we have a chance for salvation. Jesus knew no sin, but became sin and was therefore the ultimate sacrificial lamb. However, do we ever take the time to […]
