Just a thought: We must make sure we're getting our bodies right as well as our minds, emotions, and spirits. It's time for some congruency, because in order for us to fully function as we should, we can no longer esteem one aspect of ourselves higher than the others. The Lord actually has them interconnected for a reason. Truth be told, many of us have missed it by only focusing on one part of ourselves, and not the totality of who the Lord created us to be.
One of the healthiest things you can do to break generational curses, mentalities, patterns—especially if they’re destructive, is keep your children away from your relatives and move from your hometown.
Instead of praying for a good (wo)man, it's better to pray that God keeps you hidden from certain (wo)men.
I'm understanding more why some blacks don't vote. No matter who's in office, the president is guaranteed to do little or nothing for black people. I must be one of the few smart folks that realize a president isn't supposed to do for one race, (s)he is supposed to do what's in the country's best interest. Some black folks say how Biden would be so much better for blacks than Trump, but let's be real: Biden is no different because some of the policies he supported have hurt blacks, plus he embraced segregation. Donald Trump and Joe Biden are from the same racist era, so while some blacks have valid reasons for not supporting Donald Trump, there's also valid reasons for blacks to not vote for Joe Biden because historically, Joe Biden's stance on black issues has not been favorable.😎
Honestly, I don't expect any presidential candidate to have a favorable stance on black issues, but what folks are NOT gonna do is criticize someone who has a valid reason for not voting. If two candidates don't line up with your beliefs, why would you vote for either candidate? Makes 0 sense to me. The whole argument of "not voting equals a vote for Trump" sounds crazy. I think blacks who don't vote are smarter because they have sense enough to know that neither candidate has blacks' best interest at heart, so it makes more sense NOT to vote.
When we’re called to ministry (whatever capacity that may be), we should complete our assignment until our time is up.
We’re (Christians) ambassadors for Christ, so we (believers) have a responsibility to make Him look good.
