God has a way of making all things work together for our good. Even though we can’t see all the amazing things He’s doing for us behind the scenes, we can rest assure our God is busy at work on our behalf! Genesis 50:20 says “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good”. This assures us that no matter how bad our situation may seem, No matter how tight of a hold we may think the enemy has on us, No matter how deep we have fallen, God is able to reach down and raise us to…
God has moments of favor in your future. He is preparing you right now. Every struggle and trial is just preparing you for that moment! We all want success and happiness, but not many of us want to endure the trials and tribulations to achieve it. We often look at celebrities and wish we had their lifestyle, not knowing what they had to endure to get where they are today. Take these celebrities for example: Tyler Perry, actor-director-writer-producer; became homeless after moving from New Orleans, Louisiana to Atlanta, Georgia. He spent months living in cheap motels and his car. As a Christian,…
Sometimes it takes a traumatic experience to make us appreciate the little things in life, that we would normally take for granted. Things money can’t buy… Love, Health, Peace of mind etc. Sometimes we complain so much that we don’t realize God hears everything. We find ourselves saying things like “I hate this old car”, “I hate my job”, or “I hate so and so”! That is until the car breaks down and we have no car, the job we hated so much… has just given us our walking papers, or the the person you hated so much is gone,…
11-year-old Kile Glover has passed away this morning from injuries suffered in a tragic jetski accident in Georgia earlier this month. Doctors removed 11-year-old Kile Glover from life support after it was determined the injuries were too severe to overcome. I know Kile’s mother, Tameka Foster, struggled tremendously with the decision, as any mother would. I couldn’t imagine having to make such a decision. Our prayers are with the family. Update: After speaking with a source close to the family, we are able to confirm that Kile’s heart stopped beating; he was not taken off life support as previously reported.
The worst thing any of us can do during hard times is lose Faith in God or doubt His ability. Have you ever been in a situation and just knew it was the end? You didn’t see a way out, but just in the nick of time, God showed up and showed out? Sometimes He’ll step in just to remind us that HE is God. A friend of mine has been a Police Officer for many years. She recently decided to apply for a promotion as a Police Sergeant. Anyone who knows or have applied for a Law Enforcement position…
The more I see of this guy, The more I love him! Devon Franklin, a Movie Executive, a Seventh-day Adventist minister, and newlywed husband of actress Meagan Good.

President Obama turned a campaign event in Fort Myers, Fla., into a moment of silence, calling on participants to pray for the victims of a Colorado shooting. “This morning, we woke up to news of a tragedy that reminds us of all the ways we are united as one American family,” Obama said of the mass shooting during a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises,” the latest Batman movie, at a theater complex in Aurora, Colo. Twelve people died and dozens more were injured. If anything, an incident such as the one in Aurora shows that “life is very…
As we get closer to God, the enemy will do anything and everything in his power to pull us away. Sometimes he’ll use the people we love to do so! Have you ever noticed that when you’re trying to kick a bad habit, the enemy will send someone in your life who has the same bad habit? or when you’re trying to be celibate, here comes Mr. Wrong, all packaged up to look like Mr. Right? The more you try to do right, the more the enemy will tempt you to do wrong! Isaiah 54:17 says that No weapon formed…
Most women will spend most of their lives waiting on a man to get his act together. Through the ups and downs, good and bad, we remain patient. Even if the bad times out weigh the good, we still find a way to hold on to hope. We have faith in the relationship and believe that everything is going to work out no matter how bad things look. That’s the kind of faith God expects us to have in Him. However, that’s not always the case. In fact, we are sometimes quick to give up on God when things don’t…
1 John 1:9 ~ If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” One of the worst things that we can do as a Christian, is to think that God will stop loving us when we disappoint Him. We all are a work in progress. We all make mistakes. It’s how we recover from them, that counts. Do you even acknowledge them? Do you pray about them? Do you learn from them? As a baby learns to walk, naturally he or she will stumble and fall. Our…

Years ago, my family had to decide whether or not to take my grandmother off of life support. She had suffered a stroke, slipped into a coma, and was pronounced brain dead.

We felt that it wasn’t our decision to make. After a month and a half in a coma, she eventually passed away. But, I often wondered if we were acting selfishly…
Often times we pray for things, we’re not willing to work for. Don’t get me wrong, God is able to do above and exceedingly what we ask of Him, but we must prove to Him that we are serious by doing our best. When God sees us doing our best, He’ll step in and do the rest. Whether it’s starting a new career or job, strengthening your relationship with God, or maybe even finding the love of your life. Thinking of starting a new job/ career? Don’t just post your resume on one job board and wait for a response.…

XXXXXXX Writes: In 2008, I was in a car accident. A driver ran right through a red light at an intersection and hit me.

I mean, how can you forgive someone who is responsible for changing your life for the worst? It’s easy for someone who hasn’t…
At some point in our lives, we all must suffer heartache. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, abandonment from a parent, or the end of a relationship/friendship. Sometimes without realizing, we become hardened by our losses. That’s not the way God planned it! Psalm 147:3 says “He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.” Through prayer we are able to ask God for healing. Instead, most of us become angry with God, We turn away from Him, and we began to question ” Why me?” “If God really loved me, why would He allow me to feel…
