I think a lot of “Christians” get caught up in the notions of super star status or envision themselves as some sort of super servant of God which inturn causes them to develop some very grandiose ideas about themselves and how they will serve God. The problem is that they determine that they will serve […]
The motivation of the converted mind to truly put to death the self…
2 Corinthians 5:15-17 KJV [15] And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. [16] Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we […]
Leaving fellowship for Love?
I have a lot of friends in my various faith circles who have cut down their church attendance or simply left their churches or fellowship groups because they have made decisions to pursue love and relationships with individuals who, more times then not are outside of their faith environments. For the bulk of them, these […]
Your Reasonable Service……
The following is solely my opinion based on my reflection and continual interaction with professing Christians in the Hebrew Roots, Orthodox and Protestant/Evangelical circles. In other words, I was inspired by you…. Lately I have been pondering the writings of Paul which refer to the believers faith and conduct as they live out their lives […]

Purpose and Inspiration
Questions arise from believers and those in spiritual transition as to how a person really discerns what are the attitudes and traits of the converted Christian? What are the points and reasons one has to be joyous in if the “blessings and promises of God are not to always be physical or material”. What are […]
Cut and Dry….Part One, An Emotional Rant
I may be sorely reprimanded by my advisers and friends for the things I am going to say but I have been percolating on these things for a several months now. I have always been talked down from this approach for one reason or another and have retreated inward to define my point, refine my […]
An update and a thought..
Good Morning Brothers and Sisters from Addis Ababa, I wanted to write to you and give you an update as my time here is coming to a close and I am preparing to return to the U.S. in a little over a week. The Ethiopian Bible translation efforts are temporarily halted because my translator is […]
It’s the little things…
I am very excited by my explorations of the Ethiopian Bible and its various versions, both with and without the Apocryphal books. Not having began my studies in Hebrew and Greek I will say from my limited knowledge that the translations rendered seem to have a faithfulness to the original Hebrew and Greek translations that […]
