Projection

Image
What is projection or projecting? The English Dictionary says it's when an "attribute or transfer an emotion or desire to (another person), especially unconsciously." In the modern-day church and our Christian community, there's way too much projection, if it's not a pastor forcing his faith and his way of doing things in the church, it's Christians bullying, gaslighting and judging other believers because they don't "serve" God the way they do whether it's fasting, how to pray or what genre of music we should listen to.  In the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Jesus's adversaries the Pharisees came for Him because He didn't follow the law of Moses as this is what they based their doctrine and faith on where they believed they were the only evangelical movement that were serving God correctly, where as Jesus followed the law of God and came to give people the gospels of grace not the gospels of man, a cult, a religious establi...

Mental Health

Elijah was afraid [ b ]  and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there,   while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough,  Lord ,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.”     Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep.

He ate and drank and then lay down again. 1st Kings 19: 3-6 When you read the story of Elijah, as he went through mental health before it became mental health he was so depressed, he became suicidal before God comforted and reassured him in 1 Kings as life got on top of him in the book of  the 1st epistle of Kings. A lot of Christians who could relate to Elijah are going through it and th...

Cancel Culture & We No Longer Keep The Grace

Image
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 We live in a society where we don't want to forgive, give people a second chance and we use past mistakes, crimes and misdemeanours against them, where the Cancel Culture Police want to imprison those especially celebrities like R Kelly, Chris Brown and Dutcahvelli, who were caught in a scandal. What is cancel culture? Is a culture where we as a society especially in the black community condemn, judge and slander those who committed mistakes and demand they have no second chances and their life be ruined, but we all know that with repentance, grace and redemption, God redeems us where man has "cancelled" us.   Out of all the stories of Jesus Christ's ministry, where He gave the thief on the cross salvation, in Luke  23:39-43  is the one that stuck out, just to give context thieves in those times, who w...
