"I don't want a nation of thinkers. I want a nation of workers . . " - John D. Rockefeller.

I just saw a school bus drive by and my mind went to those words . . . I thought of how we used to be up so early at school as kids. I reflect on marxism I believe it's called . . . That school is just a means of indoctrination instead of actually education. . . It's a preparation to fit inside the construct men desire for you. . .

I reflected on how way back in grade school my mother would encourage ...

            What is Faith, and what makes it necessary to please God? Why is faith involved? Why is it needed? These are the questions at hand. In my walk with God, I have arrived at a revelation of God that sort of takes my mind to the fictional character Batman. Let me explain.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). The Bible also says that without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). So, typically, in one answer...

I’ll be remiss if I keep allowing time to pass without mentioning this great book. I purchased this book around 2014 I believe, but I just got to it on this year. WHY DID I DO THAT? I read this book back in April, and it’s a keeper for sure!

This book is small. The chapters are brief. But the insightful content and counsel of each is big. I tremendously enjoyed reading this small book. Anyone approaching this book to read will need multiple highlighters handy for this one. This book is great!

This is both notes and an excerpt to be found in the follow-up title to Reruns, Reruns After Reruns, which I have made into a blog post. Beginning on Facebook as an intended post, the admonishment has culminated here.

Let God have control of your image. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But the conflict is that God has not eyes of flesh. What he sees as pleasing disagrees with our view or idea. The two differ. But in one being a believer in God, one offers the way they look in the eyes of ...

There are different kinds of smart.

There is the kind where one just has a good memory, where they're able to recall the information they've come across. They're smart because they understood the info enough to be able to recite it to a degree in their recollection of the information. This smart is generated from some level of interest, appreciation, or esteem.

There is the kind where one's interest causes them to research, consider, investigate information that others don't. This smart is by...

Throughout the ages, men have been whimsical in their approached to impose wisdom and instruction unto others. Some wisdom is not from God and some wisdom is.

These films are all parables or allegories. An allegory is a story that is told to tell another or tell a message. Telling stories is an art. People have been utilizing art for years. For years, man has been using their right si...

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. – Mark 1:35

I’ve come to see that in True Holiness, there is so much to do in God that we can’t do it all. I’ve come to see the need for taking full advantage of the time God gives us from the moment we awake. I’ve come to see that if we make God our all, he’ll be our all.

Christ’s life was ministry. So, I’ve come to see the necessity of “Being About Our Father’s Business”...

I’ve met, discussed, and worked with a number of people who have expressed aspirations toward writing a book, but very few people see the process through. Therefore, in celebration of black history month and 35 years of being in business, I proudly speak upon this bother, Odell Sanders, first book entitled Enduring To The End. He's now a copyrighted, published author!

I used to call him back in high school when I had aspirations of owning hotels. He was in the catering business as an entrepreneur...

Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he hath sent. - John 6:28-29 Oftentimes, we think of miracles, the preaching of God's word, or the provision of a need as being used by God, and in such instances, that is the case. But, we sort of dismiss or disregard the effectiveness or the impact we make by simply trusting and obeying God. Our belief in God is very tremend...

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting, get understanding. – Proverbs 4:7

I see and silently observe a lot in these dark days. I notice the trends of both our vernacular and the shift in the thoughts of this day. Meaning, people say “Universe” instead of God, “Energy” instead of spirit, “Manifest” instead of pray, and “Partner” (accommodating this homosexual lifestyle stuff) instead of husband, wife, or mate or spouse. I understand that dialect changes ov...
