It's Time to Make Up Your Mind


by Robert Hawes

"Then Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, 'I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the Lord.' And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it...And Shaphan read it before the king [Josiah]...Now it happened, when the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, that he tore his clothes. Then the king commanded...'Go, inquire of the Lord for me, for the people and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found; for great is the

awkard-silence.jpg?width=401(Via iDateDaily) – One of the most uncomfortable things you can ever experience during a date is awkward silence.

If you’re one of the lucky few to have not been in its presence, allow me to give you a visual: You and your date are seated at the table.

The two of you discuss the restaurant, the menu, and your appetite. After placing your order, it’s time to shift gears and focus on “I’m getting to know you” conversation, except you don’t know where to start or how to start.

And judging off of

During his earthly ministry Jesus Christ had thousands of followers and wherever he went the crowds gathered to see and hear him. In truth Jesus could have been compared with any rock star of this age as he went from place to place proclaiming the gospel, and at times the crowds were so large and their spiritual hunger so great that he kept them listening for long hours until they were famished and some were near exhaustion. Yet when Jesus died on the cross, after three and a half years of

New Website, PimpPreacher.com, Asks Whose Responsibility It Is to Call Out Unethical and Immoral Preachers
A new website brings into question whose responsibility it is to call out unethical and immoral preachers.

Okay. You’ve been there before. The choir just transported the worshippers through the gates of heaven with amazing worship. The atmosphere is charged with excitement and the mood is set, but the pastor is not on the same wavelength. The pastor gets up to preach and you can’t believe what just let fly out of his or her mouth. It is biblically inaccurate and those words are being used to

Ephesians 5:22 "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord."

Candace Cameron Bure has gotten some attention from the media lately in her book , "Balancing It All" , she writes of submitting to her husband.

In today's culture the word submission often has a negative connotation. After all, the woman of today is supposed to be "equal" to her male counterpart and the idea of submitting to a man often brings negative images of abuse to mind. God does not give permission for m

What is "Spiritual Warfare?" In general, spiritual warfare is the "conflict" betwen good and evil. It is the ongoing battle between two diametrically opposed kingdoms: God's and Satan's.

We all, no matter who we are, how much money we have, how much education we have, where we live, how religious we are - we all deal with spiritual warfare.

We are in spiritual warfare in our homes, in our relationships, our marriages

Romans 12:2, And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect will of God (KJV). For the Christian, opportunities to conform to the way the world does things are all around us. It's human nature to want to belong. It's natural to want to be included as opposed to excluded.

Everyone wants to be a part of th

Do you have a success plan for the New Year? What important steps are you taking towards achieving your goals? The fulfillment of your plans largely will depend on the steps you will take from now on. This post states the importance of prayer in your pursuit for success in the year.

Pray without ceasing - 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NKJV)

Set the Alarm Clock 10 Minutes Earlier
I hate when I set the alarm clock with just enough time to take a shower, slam down some toast and chug a cup of coffee just before running out the door.  I did that for so many years before I finally started setting the alarm clock back to 10 minutes earlier than before.  Now, I get up and the first thing I do is to

'Hey, young man, look up!'
'I am sorry sir' I answered. A man twice my age was staring at me while he spoke those words. I had accidentally stepped on his foot as I was busy walking and talking on phone. It is in the heart of the city, the first day of the year, everyone in town is busy as ever, so much noise, music all over, people moving from one store to another, children holding hands with their lovely parents, business men ushering customers to their stores and oh, it

Yolanda-Adams-Erica-Campbell-Pf-378x414.jpegAs the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. At the 2013 BET Awards, Christian actress Meagan Good's cut-to-the-navel blue dress took the cake. At the 2012 BET Awards, Grammy-winning gospel singer Yolanda Adams' plunging neckline in a silky red gown drew criticism from her conservative Christian base.  

Now the 52-year-old singer, known for occasional immodest apparel, is rushing to the defense of Grammy-nominated solo artist Erica Campbell, 41, who got hit with major backlash for roc

2 Corinthians 5:17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Every time a new year rolls around, people begin to think about things they can change in their lives. Some people say that they are going to lose weight and start eating healthy. Others say that they are going to go back to college or get out of debt. Some say that they are going to write a book or start their own business. And others commit to gett

portfolio5.jpgThe funny thing about stereotypes is that they often have some measure of truth to them. As black women in America, no group has been more stereotyped, or misunderstood, or more devalued than us. As we begin the countdown on the year that was 2013, it is time for us as black women to look toward our future in the New Year that is 2014.
As someone who has traveled the country for the last two years, talking and engaging almost exclusively with black women in corporate America, in universities,
