Hiding Behind Church

This....all of this. Where's the lie in this statement? It's easy to hide behind church to escape making amends for those you've hurt, but God won't let you escape accountability. You can ask God to forgive all you want, but until you make amends with those you've hurt, your forgiveness request is in vain.

 

Political Correctness: Christian Perspective

 

Disclaimer: Christians are sin-prone just like the rest of the world, but those who identify with Christ are called to put sin on blast, regardless of who's slighted. I don't want to hear nothing about removing the log from your eye before you remove the speck from your brother's. This isn't the post.

Maybe it's me, but I think some of today's Christians have gotten soft. Some of them are scared to call out sin because they don't want to upset people trapped in their sin. My question is: By co-signing sinners, are we doing them justice? No. By co-signing sin, we're giving them permission to stay in their condition. There's a reason why old-school minister RW Schambach said "The world has become like the church, and the church has become like the world. Problem is you can't tell them apart." I'm understanding more what RW Schambach meant by that statement because it seems like Christians are focused on popularity than standing for Christ. You can love people, but love them enough to lead them to Christ. Sometimes that means checking them, but if they feel it's done out of love, they'll respond favorably. Jesus didn't care nothing about being political correctness, he was about his Father's business.

Real N***a vs. Positive Legacy

Once you’re over 30, you shouldn’t be concerned with being a real n***a. What should matter is the legacy you leave behind. 

You Have Become Like Gods

Philippians 4:12-13 "I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."

Praise God! Truly, we can do nothing substantial without GOD. We are able to accomplish what is good through the goodness of GOD. The following statement from this brother summed it up: When you have to seek God, you realize you're not God. How can you claim to be something you have to seek? Make it make sense.

All Lives Matter? Repost By Anthony Matthews

Repost: Anthony Matthews

The term “All Lives Matter” is a quick counterattack for the term “Black Lives Matter”. See, you “All Lives Matter“ Terrorist think you’re slick. All lives didn’t matter during the writing of the Declaration of Independence. All Lives didn’t Matter during slavery or Jim Crow. All Lives didn’t matter when Black Veterans came home from Vietnam or Korea and they weren’t afforded the opportunity to use their GI Bill or VA home loan. But when you’re caught in a L shaped Black lives matter ambush, you’re only course of action is to try and assault through with “All Lives Matter“  

SMALL HISTORY FACT, I graduated Advanced Infantry Squad Leaders Course with a 96%🤷🏾‍♂️ 

Wow…this brother spoke facts. Until Black Lives Matter, then all lives truly matter. And yes, black lives must matter to US first.

Throwback Monday: Chief & Indian

In a relationship, there can be one chief & indian. Having two chiefs is bound to create conflict because both people are going to want their own way. In every tribe, there has always been one chief and several indians under him. This arrangement keeps the relationship in line and prevents chaos. 

Today’s Word: Everything Doesn’t Require A Reaction

As I get older, I’m learning this daily. As much as I want to address some matters, I’m learning it’s not worth it because the other person will usually deny or deflect. My peace is valuable & I will protect it at all costs. I’ve seen & known a lot, but didn’t address because I usually know the outcome. I chalk it up to a lesson learned & move differently.
