Baby, are we going to exercise today?

In late 2009, we made a decision that has left a profound impact on our lives and marriage. It was a cold winter morning, and we were hesitant to get out of bed because the warm sheets were more appealing than the cold outside. I asked my wife, “Baby, are we going to exercise today?” She gave a deep sigh and said, “It is too cold; let us stay in.” She was 100 percent correct because it was too early, and the weather was not on our side. We had been through this exchange many

Sex alone will not build a successful marriage

Marriage is like a three-legged stool! Every successful marriage has three legs that it stands on, and it is impossible to build a strong and enduring marriage without these three legs. Most marriage experts have identified three aspects of marriage that MUST be present and functioning well for any successful marriage. It is impossible to have an excellent marriage without these three components of the marriage working well and in synergy. All three aspects feed into each oth

SEX alone will not build a successful marriage!

Money alone will not build a successful marriage. If that were possible, the super-rich would have the most blissful and long-lasting marriages, but that is not the case. Sex on its own will not do it either, and effective communication will not guarantee a strong and enduring marriage. What you need is all three components working in synergy. The good news is that we can teach you about one catalyst that will cause sex, money, and communication to work well in any marriage.

The life of Jesus Christ: The defeat of racism and the way forward pt.3

Jesus died and out of His death came the forgiveness of our sins and billions all over the world have found peace, life, and hope in Him. Make your life count by walking in love and treating others how you want to be treated. Good Friday is indeed good because the untimely, brutal, and unjust death of a 33-year-old man has reconciled us to God. God always has the last say, and it is our responsibility to trust Him to make all wrongs right. In the case of Jesus Christ, those w

The life of Jesus Christ: The defeat of racism and the way forward pt.2

The condemned man was made to carry His own cross to the place where He was going to be cruciﬁed. When He arrived at the place of his death, two other condemned thieves were there already. The Roman soldiers stripped Him naked and nailed Him on a wooden cross. He died a shameful, disgraceful, painful, and disgusting death among two convicted criminals. How can this be a good thing? It was a bloody mess, to say the least. You will be surprised to hear that His only “crime” is

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
