CONFLICT RESOLUTION ON BPN

CONFLICT RESOLUTION ON BPN

As a ministry leader, I found myself in a situation where there was a stirring of mess in the congregation. Members were talking about leaders badly and leaders were doing the same about members. As head, wrote a Conflict Resolution Guideline and send it out to EVERYONE so that all would know how we would handle conflict in that particular body of Believers. Some leaders thought I was undermining their authority and not supporting them. Some members thought… Continue

BLESS ME LORD…..PLEASE BLESS ME

Do you REALLY want to be Blessed? Are you sure you want the Lord to bless you? Because if you do, then here’s a list of the types of people are “blessed”:

Matthew 5:1-12

1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

Are you doing the Pigpen Hoe Down???

ARE YOU DOING THE PIGPEN HOE DOWN?

Sometimes we want to know if there can be any peace in the Body of Christ. Madea says she's got a piece of steel (Smith and Wesson) for those who won't keep the peace LOL. Unfortunately, when we in the Body of Christ don't agree with one another, sometimes we get the Madea mentality and want to fight. We not only fight in the four walls of our church buildings but we… Continue

THE EGYPTIAN'S LAMENT: The World Mourns Michael.

THE EGYPTIAN’S LAMENT: The World Mourns Michael Jackson’s death

I must say that I am most definitely a fan of Michael Jackson's music. Like many fans, I "grew up" on it. He truly was an icon of my generation. He was both admired by and influenced by musicians prior to his "time" and will be remembered by so many for years to come.

Today, I watched the live internet streaming of his memorial service and noticed that Michael was at one point compared to Martin Luther… Continue

JUST FOR LAUGHS, WOMEN'S BRAINS COST $200!!!

In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill.

Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.

'I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news,' he said as he surveyed the worried faces.

'The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain… Continue

AFTER SAYING "I DO", WHAT CAN YOU DO? - part 4 (Conclusion) - JESUS WILL RUIN THE MOOD

AFTER SAYING "I DO", WHAT CAN YOU DO? - Part 4 (Conclusion)

I CAN’T THINK ABOUT JESUS

AND HAVE PASSIONATE SEX WITH MY SPOUSE.

IT WILL RUIN THE MOOD!

Your entire life is a form of worship… even when you are popping popcorn, grocery shopping, going to an amusement park, exercising, eating, watching a spectator sport, a soldier in the army, a bank teller, etc. You are a LIVING sacrifice. Everything about you is an offering to the Lord as your reasonable… Continue

AFTER SAYING "I DO", WHAT CAN YOU DO? - Part 3 - YOUR BODY IS THE LORD’S TEMPLE

AFTER SAYING "I DO", WHAT CAN YOU DO? - Part 3

YOUR BODY IS THE LORD’S TEMPLE

When it pertains to marital sex, I look to two scriptures. One is the passage in Ephesians which I have already expounded on. The other is in I Corinthians 6:

I Corinthians 6:12-20 (NIV)

12 "Everything is permissible for me"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"—but I will not be mastered by anything. 13" Food for the stomach and the stomach… Continue

AFTER SAYING "I DO", WHAT CAN YOU DO? - Part 2 - My Spouse wants to do "special" things...

AFTER SAYING "I DO", WHAT CAN YOU DO? - Part 2

WHAT IF ONE SPOUSE WANTS

TO DO SOMETHING “SPECIAL” IN BED

AND THE OTHER DOESN’T?

Well, there is a biblical principle for that as well. Before we read the passage of scripture, I want you to be aware of two very important things:

1. Submission begins where agreement ends! There is no need to “submit” to something you agree with.

2. Love thinks not of itself, seeks not it’s own pleasure. Love… Continue

AFTER SAYING "I DO", WHAT CAN YOU DO? - PART 1 - THE MARRIAGE BED IS UNDEFILED

(This is a lengthy blog, so I divided it into a 4-part series. If you want the entire blog emailed to, I will be happy to do so.)

AFTER SAYING, "I DO" WHAT CAN YOU DO?

The Marriage Bed is Undefiled

Are married Christians allowed to engage in anal sex, oral sex, role play, foreplay, sex toys, etc.? What are their sexual boundaries according to God's word?

A few years ago, I asked these questions on TAG Ministry’s blog and everyone… Continue

WHAT DOES YOUR MASK LOOK LIKE?

WHAT DOES YOUR MASK LOOK LIKE?

1 Samuel 16:7

… for God sees not as man sees,

for man looks at the outward appearance,

but the LORD looks at the heart."

One of my hobbies is collecting clowns and masks. I have angry clowns, crying clowns, laughing clowns and more. I have a clown in leopard gear, a clown that is an attorney in a courtroom a clown that’s a child and many more. I… Continue

Dear Faithful One,

Have you ever found yourself in a place where protecting a certain relationship may cost you your business, your savings, or even your life? At the crossroads of life, how high a cost would you pay to save a relationship?
