THE CHECK LISTS, PART 1

      Let me say up front that I appreciate each and every one who has taken the time to read and pass on this series of columns. The hour IS getting late, and, as The Temptations said in one of their songs from a past era, we are living in a Ball of Confusion.

      The best road map through uncertain times? Bible Prophecy. Amen.

      During my days as a Book Reviewer a few years back, the business world was abuzz with the ‘new’ innovation of check lists. Several best-sel

GET RIGHT—OR GET LEFT! PART 2

      In our last ride together, I sought to make it clear that one MUST become a Christian on God’s terms in order to be eligible to be Raptured off of this rock, and into Heaven. Church membership does NOT mean that you are IN Jesus Christ. If your father, mother, grandma, or grandpa is a Christian and you are not, you are NOT in Jesus Christ. You may know about Christ, but having a relationship with Him by calling on his name and becoming a part of his Kingdom is

STICK WITH THE KING’S BOOK! PART 2

    If you’re going to deliver the goods to hungry souls at the street level, it would be advisable to have a solid foundation of the main issues of Bible Prophecy. Having a clear understanding of the basics from the New Testament will work wonders to meet the mockers and scoffers head on and be a contender for the faith (Jude 1:3 KJV). Of course, you need to have the right Bible for the task ahead…that being the King James Version. As I mentioned in our last e

STICK WITH THE KING’S BOOK! PART 1

      I’ve had my share of firefights over this topic; I’ve lost friends and made more than a few enemies. Nevertheless, this topic could be considered the bedrock of studying Bible Prophecy in that there is only ONE version of the Holy Scriptures that one should consider ‘most accurate.’

      Are you ready? The version that I am referring to is the King James Version; the Authorized Version of the Bible, released to the world in 1611 AND unchallenged in the pu

WHY DIDN’T MY PASTOR TELL ME? PART 2

      In our last thrilling adventure, I shared the question posed by one of the young men I had been teaching among a group of his fellow detainees as the old Marion County Juvenile Detention Center. The teaching session had taken place a few years ago—before the Pandemic hit—with young men from the J-John Unit, in the center’s Chapel. Also on hand were a few Detention Officers who were also interested in the question…and my response.

      I had been teachin

WHY DIDN’T MY PASTOR TELL ME ABOUT THIS? PART 1

      There is NO separation of church and state…in the streets. Let this sink in.

      Our story begins a few years ago at the old Marion County Juvenile Detention Center at 25^th and Hillside. As I’ve been told, this facility has been closed, and a new MCJDC has been built and the detainees, staff and courts have been moved.

      Let me plug in some of my background and full disclosure at this point.

      As a wise preacher noted years ago: “You d

WHY THIS AND WHY NOW?

      One of the things that I have noticed about being a Christian writer from a biblical, business, and common-sense perspective is the following: When you look around and don’t see the type of writing on a subject in existence it is because the Lord has put it in you to get the job done. Thus, here comes a different kind of column on the subject of Bible Prophecy, written at a level which fits those who are the most in need of teaching on the subject…those who are on the

BATTLE OF THE BOX CHECKERS, PART 1

      Let me get this out of the way first.  There WAS a time when Black women and Black men used to work together for the benefit of the race.  Over the last few years, there are some liberal Black women (and other liberal women of color) who have forgotten from whence they came.

      From the outset, let me also say that I have nothing against marrying across the color line.  The hope is that—for a Christian—they marry IN the faith and are NOT ‘unequally yoke

AS SIN CONTINUES TO EXPAND—PART 1

      Caught an interesting news item from Chicago recently.  It seems that some in that city’s legislative body—composed mainly of Democrats—want to put the issue of whether Chicago remains a ‘sanctuary city’ up for referendum before the citizens of Chicago in the spring of 2024.  Unfortunately, most of the Aldermen did NOT support such as move, as illegal aliens have flocked to Chicago—and pushed Black folk out of the way for jobs, education, social services,

     If you know your KJV Bible, you have a firm grip on what has been happening in America over the last several decades.  We—as a nation—have been and continue to be on a downward slide spiritually and it continues to manifest in tangible ways across every imaginable institution.

      Politics is no exception.  It has become only the latest, tangible example of corruption.

      From a prophetic point of view, Jesus Christ IS soon going to rapture His church home. This comes from several place
