I am, of course, an African American. Many who would read this would know that reality. I am a proud African American but never in a triumphant sense. If I were a Hispanic American, I would be proud of that fact as well. I would be proud of whatever heritage God sovereignly chose for me… Continue Reading

Head Coverings (1 Corinthians 11:3) 3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. Wives and Husbands (Ephesians 5:22–33) Wives submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.  24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in  everything to their husbands. Rules for Christian Households (Colossians 3:18–19) 18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.

            I am severely troubled about the current plight and inevitably continual demise of the family unit as God designed. Fathers will continue to be emasculated, women will continue to assume more dominance and children will continue to blur the lines of submission and it will be principally an inside job. The world has always… Continue Reading

      I was once in the Bible Study small group and one of the female participants made the following statement, “It is important to sometimes just concentrate on loving yourself.” That statement prima facie has always stuck in my crawl. While some people do suffer from poor self-esteem (and we do would not want to… Continue Reading

      There are hills that are worth dying upon. There are times that are justifiably suited for war. There are times it is not wise to turn the other cheek. There are times when it is cowardice, not wisdom or valor, to look the other way. There are times when we must stand our ground… Continue Reading

            I will be the first to admit until a couple of weeks ago I had never heard of the term subsidiarity and would have had no use or interest in the unusual word. Yet, I pride myself upon becoming more enlightened day by day. I shall hope if I live to a ripe old… Continue Reading

People don’t have to be nice And when they are nice They don’t have to be nice to you             Life is certainly ironic. This expression was voiced a many of times when I was a youngster. It was said by the Chairman of the Deacon Board of the church my family attended. Of course,… Continue Reading

If you have followed me or paid any attention whatsoever over the last couple of years you know two things about me politically.             1) You know the Democratic Party is persona non grata as presently constituted. In fact, I am completing a book advocating why I believe it is a theological travesty over 88%… Continue Reading

What happened to us, fathers? Where did we take the wrong turn, husbands? Who has bewitched us (to use the words of the Apostle Paul) that we have to always display our feminine side, sons? How have been with intoxicated to not celebrate virtues like virility, brothers.                I am so tired engaging with… Continue Reading

Happy Wife, Happy life! As ubiquitous as this expression seems to be in the cultural dialect you would think it finds it source directly from the Bible. It would seem to be sure it would be found in red letters because it could be traced to something Jesus Christ said directly, maybe as part of… Continue Reading

We all know someone who began strong and bold but waned over time.  We all have met someone and they seemed to be “the one” only to quickly (and unfortunately sometimes not quick enough) find out they were not the one.  I have experienced several times while teaching JROTC cadets who started out like gangbusters.… Continue Reading
