Please leave a comment at the bottom of the page Diversity in the church is a product of modern advances in society in general, reflecting on Christianity specifically. In America where there has always been two churches, a black church and a white church, desegregation for Christ seems to be the right next movement of the American body, s than a diverse church was inevitable.    When I moved from North Philly to the Greater Northeast one of the changes I would have to make was where I would worship my God. So I left a 100% black church to join a multiracial church in my new neighbor.  One of the advantages of being a member of a racially, and ethnically  diversified church, is that we (the congregation) have found a way to accentuate those things in Christ that we have common, while at the same time diverting our attentions away from those things that that make us different. This allows people of very different backgrounds work together with...

The Thanksgiving of Habakkuk For 389 years the United States of America  has set aside one day to give thanks to God, creator of heaven and earth, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and Giver of His Holy Spirit,  for His gracious sustaining of us all 364 days that preceded.

Humble Your Denomination As I write this to you I feel a need to first explain the biblical meaning of  denomination, in order to give some clarity on The Apostle Paul’s first letter to the church at Corinth ( 1Cor 14:14-23 ).  We spoke about this on Friday when we addressed you’re going to church with members of your family while at your family reunion. I know that I am long winded but I think you being an intellect will give me some room to wiggle. Please note that this is written to you  ( This post is actual written in response to a letter given to me about how to serve God. ) not to everyone else. Not all teaching is for all people, theology confuses most Christians and most have no idea what they believe, and cannot explain the process of salvation if it meant their life, and it does. Therefore what I am writing is for  your knowledge only  that you may be given a starting point to study what you believe; not to give to others as a way to sh...
