prayer is still a beautiful thing. at bare minimum, a loving person that commits to pray for you says, “even in your absence,i paused everything, for a moment, to close my eyes and be mindful of you and what you’re going through.”
just be honest with people man…
don’t underestimate how much communication brings peace and how willing people are to work around issues when you’re just forthcoming and honest.
New Year’s time is usually when we start talking about cutting folks off and leaving them behind in 2017. How about making the new year about reconciliation? Repairing broken relationships and our broken perspectives of them.
you ever think that you haven’t met your soul mate because one of y’all is taking too long to learn a life lesson?! like fam, get it together because i’m not supposed to be in these streets 😭😭
Hey Christians: the theological “Israel” that faith in Christ grafts you into is *not* the same as the state of Israel that was just established in 1948. just know that before you commit unwavering fidelity to all things pro-Israel.
Belly buttons are CRAZY yo. It’s just this thing on our body we don’t even pay attention. But we literally bear the marks of our mothers on our stomachs. The first scar you ever suffered. You and your mother shared pain together.
Sad thing about Libya, as we press government officials to do something, there’s no way our government didn’t know already. You think the government finds out about a world slavery crisis through Facebook posts?
Fam, ain’t no “claiming” to be debt-free. Pray about it but don’t expect God to get you out of debt just so you can make more bad financial decisions. You have to change. He has to change YOU, not just your debt.

This "So Will I" song by
@hillsong
is a problem bruh. Wow. I don't normally just bang out their tracks like that man... The writing on this is craaaaaaaaaaaaay.
fun fact: the abbreviation “Xmas” originated from Christians centuries ago, and not as an attempt to take Christ out of Christmas.
“χ” or “Chi” being the first greek letter of Greek word for Christ, “Christos”.
our experience w/ colonialism is not the universal template. these words have very different context for SA. i’ve met dark skinned S. Africans that are “coloured” & it’s on their drivers license. if we gonna enjoy SA’s music, we should be open to the stories that come with it

Keller been on the Justice and equality in the social sphere long before it was trendy. He wrote a whole book on it. If you are familiar with his work, then this tweet has no issues. We keep looking for stuff to bash people over
Tim Keller has passed away. in my time as an adult christian, he was easily one of the most influential voices in my life. though i am no longer a jesus follower, the positive lasting impact he had on my life is evident.
i sincerely apologize to anyone i attracted and invited to the same “righteousness” that kept me unknowingly bound and limited for so long. i’m sorry. i’m sorry.
kinda missed the anniversary but this week a year ago, i publicly announced i was no longer a christian. finally gonna begin processing that a lil bit more publicly, mostly through podcast.
The Christian life is not all rewards and no consequences. In our clinging to grace, we cannot forget God is the judge of all. Cause and effect is a God thing.
*siiiiigh* take off your polarized political sunglasses for a couple of seconds. “conservative” is not always a partisan term. you can be theologically conservative & politically liberal. black people been doing it for generations.
like... i'm actually socially awkward. for a minute i was thinking pandemic did this to me but now i think pandemic just helped me realize what was already here. smh.
Ladies raise your hand if you’re the one pump faking on the wallet when the dinner bill come. “Ima reach for my purse just to show I got my own but I know he better stop me.” 😂
