The Birth of Christ
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE "CHRIST"MAS STORY AND WONDERED IF IT WAS TRUE? HAVE YOU EVER CELEBREATED WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS BUT FOUND THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING MISSING? THIS IS A PART OF MY SEARCH TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS VEY IMPORTANT "CHRISTIAN" HOLIDAY MEANS FOR ME....
In the Garden with God
THIS IS A SERIES OF LESSONS THAT I INITIALLY WROTE FOR THE LITTLE CHURCH CLASS AT CRESCENT BAPTIST CHURCH. AFTER A WHILE I REALIZED THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING TO TURN IT INTO A FULL LESSON SERIES FOR ADULTS. I ALTERED LAYOUTS, ADDED THINGS, TOOK AWAY THINGS. I LOOKED BACK INTO THE GREEK AND HEBREW. I DUG DEEP INTO THE OLD TESTAMENT AS WELL AS THE NEW. EVERY LESSON HAS A PRACTICAL APPLICATION FOR GROWING YOUR OWN PERSONAL GARDEN. BE PREPARED TO WORK, IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE!
The Passion Week
THERE ARE FOUR BOOKS, FOUR GOSPELS THAT GIVE US SIMILAR THOUGH DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS OF WHAT HAPPENED TO JESUS THAT LAST WEEK BEFORE HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION. I'VE READ MANY BOOKS, ARTICLES, BLOGS, AND NO TWO ARE EXACTLY ALIKE. HONESTLY, THAT'S OKAY. THIS IS MY SEARCH OF THIS ALL-IMPORTANT WEEK LEADING UP TO THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!

Slavery according to the Bible
THIS CAN BE A HARD SUBJECT TO DISCUSS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PERSON YOU ARE DISCUSSING IT WITH HAD ANCESTORS IN THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE. SLAVE OWNERS AND OTHERS HAVE SAID THAT THERE IS BIBLICAL PRECEDENT FOR AMERICAN SLAVERY'S EXISTSENCE. I, AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO CAME BEFORE ME, DISAGREE. IT'S NOT JUST A HARD SUBJECT TO DISCUSS BUT ONE THAT REQUIRES A LOF OF DEEP SEARCHING. HOW FAR WILL YOU GO TO HELP RECONCILE "BLACK" AND "WHITE" PEOPLE?
