Yes, Homosexuality Is A SIN!

I can no longer remain silent on one of the greatest offenses to God Our Creator which is homosexuality. There are those who like to say that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality and they are sadly mistaken. Various verses are cited (out of context) and the verses that people use to show that homosexuality is wrong are explained away. The world wants to change God's words and meanings into something more suitable to its sinful desires. Nevertheless, the truth stands: The Bible condemns homosexuality as a sin and here is what it says. Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them" 1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither f

A Word On Bishop Eddie L. Long

I have been asked by many people my stance or position on what's happening to the pastor of the Newbirth Church Bishop Eddie Long and the charges against him for soliciting homosexual sex and favors.

I do speak of the fact that in the Body of Christ many people are edified to near deity proportions when they should be focusing on their relationship with Jesus Christ directly. I feel compassion for those in Pastor Long's congregation and those around the world who will lose faith in Jesus based on what they perceive of Pastor Lo

Let The Truth Be Told...

Today a non-scripture laden post in favor of just us chatting with each other... There are many times where we as Christians run low on our faith. There are many times when we as people even question if God is actually out there looking out for us and actually listening to us. I've been there too and trust me it is not an easy feeling. Many times when we are going through a storm it seems that no matter how much we pray, fast or praise and worship the answers don't seem to be flowing from Heaven and nor does the relief of our struggles. Many times we get to the end of our ropes and hold on by a ripping fiber ready to plunge into the abyss and wonder "Why aren't you listening God? Don't you see that I am about to die???" The truth be told? God is listening and He is caring and He is for you and not against you. It seems hard because we expect the Heavenly Hosts to swoop in with 10,000 angels and the Hand of God pointing two fingers at you saying "Thou
