Love God/Love Others

In conjunction to yesterday’s post about Religion versus Gospel, I recently have been reflecting about God’s messages in the Bible. I find it amazing how we tend to pick and choose what about God we want to make law and what to ignore. I’ve seen some really condescending responses about how God outlawed cutting your hair, piercings,ContinueContinue reading “Love God/Love Others”

Reader’s Choice: Religion versus Gospel

Why is religion such a taboo topic? Why do so many people have an aversion to hearing about spirituality, whether Christian or not? Why is it that everyone can listen to music with sex, drugs, violence, love, and friendship but God is going too far? Why is religion such a divisive subject for anyone toContinueContinue reading “Reader’s Choice: Religion versus Gospel”

The Good News: Wise Words from the Street

Today’s Good News was an important one to see coming from my background. Being from Detroit, I’ve seen too many kids get in fights because of pointless arguments or just from friends instigating. When I was young, I was even in a good amount of those fights myself. Check out the following four minute clip.ContinueContinue reading “The Good News: Wise Words from the Street”

War Room (Movie Reflection)

As a subtle but not so subtle transition, I spoke about all types of relationships except the one that is most important to me, God.

Dating with Depression

I’ve talked about father-child relationships, romantic relationships, relationships with pets, and even art/music interacting with itself. The central element to all of these relationships has a level of intention and purpose. Today, I wanted to talk about one of the hardest relationships, internal conflict and how that affects others. Today’s post was inspired by aContinueContinue reading “Dating with Depression”

H.E.R. Vol 1 and H.I.M. Vol 1

Cloaked artists. Mystery music. Moods set by smokey lounges, late night drives, and midnight rendezvous. Slowed down and sexy tones pioneered by the Weeknd before he moved to the forefront of music and became a Starboy or went to Kiss Land. Mystery artists are all the rage today and today, I’ll introduce two. Note: SequelsContinueContinue reading “H.E.R. Vol 1 and H.I.M. Vol 1”

If I Knew Then… Pt. 3 (Relationships)

I remember when I was young being asked, if you had a magic book that would either tell you who you would marry or when/how you would die, would you want to know? Would it be worth it if you missed that person or know you had to patiently wait? Which would you choose? IfContinueContinue reading “If I Knew Then… Pt. 3 (Relationships)”

Letter to My Son

I’ve already written two letters to my daughter and one to black women but today goes to my son (that doesn’t exist).

I want to give him some lessons I’ve never gotten about growingContinueContinue reading “Letter to My Son”
