Inspiration from Bible references pointing to Jesus as the healer of all human ailments.

When the storms of life hit you

 And all hope in this world has left you

 That is when the love of Jesus will reach you

 He will touch you, and make you whole again

The love of Jesus, the balm of Gilead

He will touch you

Dry the tears from your eyes

Give you a reason to go on

The love of Jesus will make you whole again

When the cares of life put you under

And all your burdens are heavy laden

As a keen observer of times and seasons, I believe that we may have just flipped a new page in history through the recent tragedy in Arizona. Nine-year old Christina Green, a victim of the recent Tucson shooting became the providential seed of a new democracy, by a new generation, for a new people. Her death is a symbolic transfer of the baton to fresh minds and ideals in the race towards the restoration of the glory of a nation in transition.

As the nation travailed in the pain of Septemb...

Intense shades of red, spl...

Just as computers crash and accidents happen, when the bond of trust is broken, relationships fail. The misfortunes of love are no excuse to never love again. Love is the balm that heals every wound. Better to take a chance on love than live without it.

 When love shoots you  a fatal arrow
You want to believe it’s not true
For cupid cannot be that mean
Yet you feel so stupid to have let go
When you let your heart, love to steal in a haze
You are left in a daze, the blanks to fill
That may neve...

The word rapture is not exactly mentioned anywhere in t...

Is it possible that marriage has become old-fashioned and therefore lost its appeal? Do people simply not understand the original purpose of marriag...

The Book of Psalms chapter 144 was written by David after his encounter with his son Absalom, who tried to dethrone him as King.

Therefore, after the world seemingly runs through a full circle and history begins to repeat itself, it is time for a change. The circumstantial similarities between the occurrenc...

One of the greatest heavenly blessings to humanity is rain. Whoever doubts the magnitude of this blessing would think differently after spending a little time in a desert. As much as rain carries epic blessings, dew seems to carry even more.

Of the conventional social responsibilities and choices that we have to make as individuals, parenting seems to have been hit the hardest by issues of rights and legality. The result of this trend continues to place our so called rights above our response-ability to do right. A suitable analogy is the act of mortgaging our conscience at the expense of being legal. We cannot discipline our children today for fear of being accused of unfair treatment and abuse. Parents who should instinctively ...

Fast food, instant coffee and quick fixes; a few words that well describe our acquired and legitimate way of life on the “fast lane”. Nevertheless, can we truly afford to deal with the delicate subject of parenting in the same way we do our “on the go” meals?

Hollywood superstar, Mel Gibson, is in the smoldering spotlight once again. No, he is not on a worldwide promotional tour for a new summer blockbuster. Hey Mel, my son-in-law is anxiously awaiting Lethal Weapon IV, but that’s for another day. Judging from the recent public-relations disaster whirlwind in which Mel Gibson seems to have dim-wittily engulfed himself, surely, he is at ease with being in the spotlight and on the spot.

The other day, I invited a friend to an outreach dinner meeting for ministers and she never showed up.  She was not one to miss an opportunity for fellowship like that. So, what happened? After speaking with her, this was what I learned. She, along with some other members of her congregation, had to take their “first lady” out of town in a hurry. This was because she had been beaten to a pulp by her tongue speaking, demon chasing Bishop husband. My first reaction – “why on God’s ear...
