It's time for us to check on our strong friends who feel like they don’t need fellowship because everything is okay. It’s time for you to get connected. What about those of us who haven’t left? We need to celebrate people when they come back and not chastise them.

We are always heading for trouble whenever we value things more than people, pleasure more than duty, and distant scenes more than the blessings we have right at home.

Matthew 15:1-20 NLT We live in a time where it seems that we are in a cultural war for the souls and allegiance of people. Sometimes it appears that our faith has been hijacked by religious terrorists. Being a follower of Christ is about your relationship to God.

Exodus 2:1-10 NLT   Your Mother saw the potential before you did.  Your Mother had to release you strategically.  Momma used what she had, to keep you afloat.  Your mother was strategic in where she placed you.  Your Mother had the help of other women.  Your Momma did it for your culture.

Matthew 5:1-12 MSG  1. Blessed are the poor for they will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.  2. You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you.  3.You're blessed when you're content with just who you are-no more, no less.

Every now and then God will come and see about you even when you lock yourself up. Even in the hospital room he'll come see about you.

I hope you come back to meaningful relationships. I hope you come and help me pray for our city. I hope you come back to God’s house.

You must make marriage or singleness your first ambition.  &n...
