The life of Jesus Christ: The defeat of racism and the way forward Pt.1

Where was God when Joseph needed him the most? Where was God when the Africans caught their own brothers and sold them to foreigners? Where was God when all the despicable things were being done to the African slaves in the new world? How could God allow such wickedness to go unchecked? How could a loving, merciful, and good God allow such evil to be perpetuated? I do not have any answers to these questions other than to say that it seems God must have been where he was when

Run! Run! Run! For only, you can run

Are you guilty of misquoting the following scripture when it comes to exercising? The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1 I heard somebody use this scripture to justify why they don’t exercise. This person said, “How can I just get up and start running when nobody is chasing me?” To which I responded, “You must run not because you are wicked, there are more sinister conditions that are chasing you.” Here are some of them: ·

How dare you put God in your back pocket

Without faith, it is impossible to please God. If you don't have faith you will never reach your full potential. Complaining, blaming, and making excuses is a dead end, please repent! But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.” Then the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are.” So they brought to the people of Israel a b

Parallels between the life of Joseph and the African-Americans

There are too many parallels between the life of Joseph and the African-Americans in the United States of America. I am not speaking about their behavior because I am not wearing their shoes, but I am speaking the word of God here because many of them are people of the Book. Thousands of books have been written on this issue and many solutions have been presented, and it is not possible to solve this complicated problem in a few paragraphs. That said, I have lived in the Unit

The Beginning of Racism

Parents and schools should place great emphasis on the idea that it is all right to be different. Racism and all the other 'isms' grow from primitive tribalism, the instinctive hostility against those of another tribe, race, religion, nationality, class or whatever. You are a lucky child if your parents taught you to accept diversity. Roger Ebert It has often been said that if we fail to understand history, we are doomed to repeat it. Nothing is truer to this than in the are

“Starting your own business isn’t just a job - it’s a way of life.” ―Richard Branson Most people were raised to believe that they go to school, get a good education, and get a good job, and that will guarantee a successful life.

Why exercising is crucial for your success

We are not called to live one or the other, because in Christ we have one life, and this life needs a vehicle to express itself. The reason we can do what we do on Earth is because we have a physical body. Without a physical body, we are earthly- useless. If our bodies are such a vital part of our assignment on planet Earth, we must make sure that we are treating our bodies with the respect they deserve.
