Drugs are corroding the culture as vultures incorporate into drug corporations that profit off the dispossessed attempt to cope by doping. The young homies watch mama’s addiction afflict the family and put everyone at risk. So we see sons trapping on the corner cause mom’s two jobs aren’t enough to warn off the coroner. But […]
How does God accomplish “His Will” in the world? We are told that nothing can stand in the way of God’s will and that nothing will prevent God from bringing about his will. When you think about God being this all powerful and all wise God, it seems like something that makes sense. Of course, […]
Entering eternity isn’t an exiting of the temporal for it exists not only in the future but is featured in the present. We look forward for the after life but don’t have to wait until after death to have life. Death encroaches my “right now” like roaches, infesting my propensity for investing in living corpses […]
Here are the issues we have. There’s debate on whether Christians and Muslims worship the same God. One side says they do not, that Christian’s and Muslims have such a radically different view of God that when either one of them is speaking about God, they are literally talking about two different beings.

God you search my heart and know my every deeds, yet I still feel the need for humans to understand me. I wish sincerity could be physically seen and felt in these words, instead of just inferred.

Essentially, this view holds that on the cross, Christ stood in as a “substitute” for us and received the punishment for our “penalty” of sin. We as humans our imperfect and sin, […]
It’s dangerous to think the danger of racism was erased by legality, because we’ve still displayed decades of decayed morality wrapped in decadence. It’s true we’ve passed pass the past when whips made blood the color that covered a colored and when trees were decorated with the ornaments of hanging brothas. But the sickness of […]
There’s a lot of debate within the Christian sphere on how life actually came to be. Within this debate, there are three main camps people fall into. There is theistic evolution, Intelligent Design, and Creationism. I personally haven’t invested a large amount of research into this area and so don’t have a very strong position […]
Many claim to not be religious but spiritual, as though this releases them from dogmatic rituals. They think spiritualism gives them spiritual sophistication and sensibilities while also including inclusive inclinations. I’ll confess that they do well to conclude that the physical isn’t the conclusion, and that there’s a reality beyond, which transcends the concrete. However, […]
