I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. Psalm 6:6 Nothing has hindered the blessing or the manifestation of blessing in the life of urban men today like the concept that it is unmanly to cry. With time, as believer in Christ we learn to mature beyond the inundated precepts of a society motivated by the whiles of Satan's pride. Those bit of society that tell us men should not cry. However for some the need to restrict crying is never released; not in public prayer, not even in secret pray with God. Some men never realize that tears are not a sign of weakness but the expression of compassion. And because of this they never reach the full application of the compassion of Christ. One of the things God desire in our life is that we learn to lean on him for all things in our life. However, this to may seem like an admission of weakness, our pride says to us "I don't need nobody" This is how...

After all the hoopla about Peyton Manning and The Colts, and Tony Dungy and his faith I am as a Christian very confused about why. We live in a world where we are told to put more faith in God in all parts of our life. In our daily life, when things go well as well as when they go bad. However, as soon as a notable person says he/she has put their faith in God in public they are condemned for the very faith they profess. I don't' think for a moment that God gives two wooden nickles about which teams wins the Superbowl but the Bible says the "For the Lord take delight in his people and he crowns the humble with victory" So we humble ourselves before God. Is it possible that the faith of one man or one team had some favor in God? If not actually than in the mind of the man with whom the faith was displayed. Really what difference does that make? The goal of this post is not to create a debate but rather toask the question " Is it so bad that a team of me...

Tony Dungy's and Lovie Smith  have more in common than being the first African-American head coaches to lead their teams to the Super Bowl. The bond of their common Christian faith is becoming increasingly evident as media scrutiny intensifies surrounding the nation's highest-profile sporting event. "The Lord set this up in a way that no one would believe it," Dungy told reporters after his Indianapolis Colts beat the New England Patriots to qualify for Super Bowl XLI. "The Lord tested us a lot this year, but he set this up to get all the glory." Then in recent times the Philadelphia Eagles took on the nomenclature  "Birds of Pray" for their continued public display of prayer. This is common for winners of sporting events to quote “ Give God the Glory” but my question is how much do we really feel God has to do with the results or the outcomes of events.   Is there a level of hypocracity when prayer is done on the field but not the in...
