Why-the-Black-Church-Needs-to-Rise-Up-and-Help-Bring-Revival-to-America.jpg?resize=500%2C250

While in seminary, I had the privilege of reading Dr. James Harris’ book, Pastoral Theology from the Black Church Perspective in which he addressed why the Black church should get past the traditional yelling ‘Hallelujah’s’ and ‘Amens’ to addressing issues that plague our community. While Dr. Harris did not dismiss the importance of praise and worship, he did bring to light the purpose of the Black church.

After reflecting upon his words while I pastored a church in Maryland for ten years, I c

What Is True Love?

What-is-Love.jpgby Bobby Bruno

 

In Part Three, we will talk about how having God's love in us will help us in our lives as we walk with Him in today's seemingly loveless world. Having God's love in us will not cure all of our ills; Jesus never promised us that. He did say that we will have troubles in this life (John 16:33) and that we will suffer not only because Jesus suffered in His life, but also because suffering is a necessary part of growing up as people, and the only way to shed sinful practices out of

Many people complain about not having enough energy or not being in a very good shape, yet few of them stop to think about their day to day habits that have a very powerful influence on the way they feel. Simple things such as not eating properly throughout the day or not having enough sleep can play a very important role in how you feel the next day and how much energy you have to do the things you are supposed to, without any difficulties. Of course, sport has a signific

My husband Norm is a man of philosophy....

"Is life fair?"

"Can't never could!"

"It has potential."

"You've got to make it happen."

I set up camp on his last opinion. In conversations, I share my desire for a dream vacation or trip to a writer's conference; troubled, I point out our lack of funds. He says, "You've got to make it happen." His middle name should be possibilities. Are you dreaming of a heavenly home?

The Lord is making it happen!

"Jesus said, 'Don't be troubled. Trust i

The Time To Rebuild Is Now!

11_tips_rebuild.jpg
by Dr. Henderson Ward

 Talking has its place and we can all agree that if somebody did not talk, and talk with power and persuasion, then in all likelihood minds would not be concentrated to get things done. However much you admire motivational talk or spellbinding oratory, you know deep inside of you that if that talk is not followed by action then it is more than useless. 

There comes a time when talk has to stop and the action begins.

The Bible says this, "To every thing there is a season, and

Here, in Part Two, we will continue looking at love from God's point-of-view through the definitions of love from the pages of a Bible dictionary. God's love is far, far different from the world's view of love. God's love is real, never forced or coerced from Him to us. God will never force His love on those who do not want it, but He will wait until their deaths for their call to Him to save them from a life without Him in eternal hell. Once a person has died without acknowledgin

In the last article, we looked at love through the eyes of the world. Now let's take a look at what God's point-of-view of love is. When we remember that He Himself is love, we need to make sure that we seek our answers to what love really is from Him. God did not create love; He IS love. Everything about God, everything that comes from God, everything He does to and for humanity is taken from a viewpoint of love. This is true even though many in the world can't believe that a lo

Having a supportive husband or wife may be good for the heart in more ways than one.

A small new study in the journal Psychological Science shows that spousal support — both the support you give to a spouse, as well as the support you receive — is associated with having a healthier heart.

Researchers from the University of Utah had 136 couples, with an average age of 63 and an average marriage length of 36 years, to answer questions that were indicative of their spousal support and marriage
