The Big GOP Walkout is coming just as the sun rises in the East and Sets in the West. The five GOP members appointed by the minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, voted against the impeachment of President Trump both times when the empirical evidence was clear and convening that he was a chronic habitual liar, and had broken every time-honored established Presidential protocol. Moreover, these five individuals agreed with the Big Lie-Big Steal that the Presidential election of Biden was fraudulent, and they still believed the lie. Sadly, these five GOP House Representatives voted against a (911) style commission to investigate the origin and organizers of an overthrow of the U. S. Government. No doubt about it, they will “walk-out” screaming ungodly accusations that the investigation is a biased witch-hunt designed to discredit former President Trump, and to steal 2022 House and Senate elections. America, get ready, get ready, get ready. The big walk out will be a national fundraising strategy oriented toward a “Get Out the Vote Campaign”, and at the same time, designed to protect the good name of former 45th President. Question: what good name? It is written: “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour than silver or gold.” At the same time, the world knows that former President Trump has committed despicable immoral acts for the love of money. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary most individuals believe that money solves all problems and brings happiness, but it is written: “The love of money is the root of all evil:” Christian Right Evangelicals was once called the moral majority. Now, they have become faithful workers of iniquity seeking to substitute one sin for another sin; when it is all sin, and an abomination to God. Someone please inform GOP Loyalists that: “The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.” There is a way that may seem right to the GOP, and offer different options, but the end thereof will be the demise of the Grand Ole Party. Thus, the GOP must clearly […]
There is a way that seems right to individuals; but the end results bring about confusion and destruction, because the Right-Way is the only way. If this sounds like the GOP just say Amen, because seemingly their leadership objective is not rule by law and order, but by the barrel of guns and more guns. “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” There are consequences for violating both God’s and man’s laws. Man’s laws will imprison or kill you. God’s laws will justly judge the righteous, and He is angry with the wicked every day. America is experiencing some turbulent times, because she is going in the way of Cain: brothers killing brothers. Christian Right Evangelicals you need to get right with God, and get right with your neighbor, because your disobedience can create a Cain and Abel scenario. Democratic Nation States collapse internally when they do not equally enforce laws regardless of creed, color or social class designations. Therefore, Christian Right Evangelicals, GOP, and Trump Loyalists: “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” GOP your way may seem right, and provide many options for your ungodly desires without sacrifices on your part escaping man’s law; but know this, you may escape man’s law but eventually you must confront God’s law(s): “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” The right way is the only way; especially in a multicultural society, because all of US must live by the golden rule in order to establish socio-economic harmony with each other. Laws are enacted to be universally obeyed. Laws are not particularistic. Society begins
Love thy neighbor is a spiritual command that has both interpersonal and nation-state implications, because neither material nor non-material walls make for good neighbors. The spiritual concept neighbor is not constricted by distance, skin-color, walls, wealth, nation-state hood, political party designations or any other socio-economic barriers. Hence, an individual must love his neighbor simply because God loves US. This is why individuals must know that your neighbors are anyone you come in contact with! The spiritual key to living is learning to love others as an individual loves himself or herself. An acknowledgement of this profound spiritual reality militates against social conflicts. Problems and hellishness occur in relationships interpersonally, institutionally or societally when individuals selfishly fall in love with themselves rather than loving others as they love themselves. A perfect example is the insurrection that occurred on January 6th, 2021. These individuals only love themselves and Trump. God, country and others are not in the equation. Thus, there is no life that is not lived in community, and no community not lived under the reality of God that equal is equal, not equal is more or less equal. This spiritual concept is difficult for ungodly minds to understand. The concept of loving and understanding who our neighbors are is a spiritually taught and learned civic precept. Neighborliness must be taught and exampled in our families, our churches and our educational institutions as a citizenship requirement. We know that this is not effectively and spiritually being taught because our prisons are overcrowded, and mass murders are frequent occurrences. To come to grips with this reality as Americans, we must spiritually decide what kind of nation-state we desire to be. The decision has already been spiritually made by God. Will someone please inform Christian Right Evangelicals, The GOP, and Donald Trump’s White Nationalists Groups that America constitutionally decided in (1776) what kind of nation we will be based upon The Preamble and the Articles of the Constitution! Will someone please run and tell Trump Loyalists before they destroy themselves that America will never change to what they desire US to be. America
merica has perpetually and spiritually been engaged in an Ethnic Exclusion War, because there are too many White Americans who do not believe: “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
The right to vote in American democracy has been and continues to be a sacred hard fight for Civil Rights issue. Voting is the spiritual essence of freedom in a democratic society.
This stark reality difference between what America says and what America actually does is the difference between God and the devil, truth and a lie, night and day and Trump and Biden. Herein is America’s real spiritual problem as embedded in the Rodney King question after the LA Riots in April 1992: “why can’t we get along”?
Given America’s torrid history of racial injustice, it is difficult for Black Americans to believe that Lady Justice is blind. Therefore, more often than not regarding “The Halls of Justice”; especially for Black Americans, it simply means that justice is usually in the halls, and not in courtrooms. For nine minutes and 29 seconds, the world witnessed in horror the police racial execution of George Floyd: disgraceful. There are usually two sides to every story: truth versus lie. Hence, Derek Chauvin is on trial, and at the same time, America’s criminal justice system is on trial. The spiritual question is: can Blacks in America receive justice? We all know that justice is a spiritual concept; not just monetary settlements, because money cannot buy either love or justice? Justice is about truth versus a lie. America has declared that all men are created equal, but we have never lived out the spiritual truth of the declaration. Moreover, we all know that God is a Just-righteous-Judge, because He judges both the living and the dead. And, this is why individuals should stay ready, and they will not have to get ready, because an individual never knows when God might call his/her name. Hence, looking back and saying “I wish” is not a plausible excuse for unrighteousness and evil, because God has warned all of us concerning looking back at sin (e.g., Sodom and Gomorrah), because all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of GOD. America’s criminal justice system is at a spiritual crossroads, because justice is sacred and spiritual, and those who administer Justice should fear God with a moral conscience, because: “Fear of the Lord is the instruction in wisdom, and before honour is humility.” (Proverbs 15: 33). Evil individuals do not understand justice, because they say Lord, Lord and run with the devil. However, this is why Amos could say: “Let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.” If Americans desire to be judged justly they must judge others justly, because we know that: “Evil men do not understand justice, but those
The spiritual and structural-functional breakdown of the nuclear family structure has produced untold and unforeseen consequences. The ungodly/misguided belief that skin-color gives an individual superiority-rights is a spiritually dangerous/destructive belief-system. Every human being is a Child of God, and human-beings should never forget that spiritual fact of human existence, because: “Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” God is life and this is why faith must be taught and exampled in family structures, because faith pertains to all of human existence. Therefore, Christian Right Evangelical Pastors must in their preachment substantiate this spiritual fact of human existence, because all of US have unforeseen faith in individuals and corporations that build creature comforts (houses, cars, etc.), therefore: “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” All families should teach this spiritual-faith precept repetitiously to children in order to build a God conscience in them; whereby guns will not become the final arbiter of problem solving, and ultimately seen as GOD. Guns are instruments of negativity, not problem-solving tools, because guns only acerbate problems. Only individuals with a God-conscience understand this profound spiritual knowledge, and moreover, Jesus gave us a living spiritual example of God-Conscience when he said to Peter: “Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.” This spiritual knowledge applies to any instrument of death that is in vogue at any given time-period. Christian Right Evangelicals, GOP, and Trump Loyalists need to have a “looking glass self- encounter”: “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” America, there are too many among us without God-Conscience, and they need to have a “Come to JESUS sustained encounter”. Turning the other cheek is allowing God to fight the battle, because: “The battle is not yours, but God’s”. The spiritual fight is between God and the
Wisdom is knowledge that comes from God; but more importantly, wisdom is the ability to make wise decisions in difficult circumstances. This is why spiritually wise individuals pray for understanding. Therefore, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. A doubled minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1: 5-8). God-fearing Christians should never spiritually grope in darkness for answers just ask God to guide choices. Life is about choices. Choices have consequences: good or bad. Asking God for spiritual enlightenment is asking to become Christlike. Question: why are there so many double-minded males in 21st century America? Has it become too spiritually difficult to live as a God-fearing man in 21st century secularized America? That is, live from the inside (internally) to the outside (externally). Double-minded-males sever their conscience from the reality of God in order to physically exist, not spiritually/creatively live. Consequently, secularized American culture frequently and boldly promote double-minded-males in commercial TV ADS; especially Black males. The question is WHY? Is it because if you emasculate the males of a race you destroy that race, because females are the carriers of culture! And, rebirth (procreation) is divinely ordained and occurs only between males and females. Marriage is God’s Idea, and procreation is an absolute proposition. Seeking to maximize the pleasure principle is a dangerous and sometimes deadly proposition, and this is why individuals should be careful about how they seek pleasure. If you cannot understand who you are, and who you belong to, how then can you understand who others are? Nevertheless, God requires that we love each other, because He first loved us. In fact, God says, I knew you before you were conceived in your mother’s womb. All individuals are physically born of a woman’s womb,

As September 13th rolls around, we extend our warmest birthday wishes to the creative powerhouse, Tyler Perry, a man whose indomitable spirit and groundbreaking work have left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment. With his multifaceted talents as an actor, playwright, screenwriter, producer, and director, Tyler Perry has not only entertained but also inspired audiences worldwide, particularly within the African-American community, where his influence and role have been nothing short of powerful. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1969, Tyler Perry’s journey to stardom was a path riddled with adversity. Raised in a turbulent household, he found refuge in writing, using it as a therapeutic outlet. This period of introspection gave rise to one of his most iconic creations, Madea, a vivacious, no-nonsense grandmother who would later become a beloved figure in Perry’s works, offering a unique blend of humor and profound life lessons. Despite facing numerous challenges, including rejection and financial struggles, Perry’s determination and unwavering belief in his abilities propelled him forward. In 1992, he staged his first play, “I Know I’ve Been Changed,” which, although met with limited success, was a pivotal moment in his career. Unfazed by initial setbacks, Perry continued to hone his craft, and by 1998, he had successfully produced a string of stage plays that showcased his storytelling prowess.
