I have been a christian for about few strong years now and i praise God daily for my salvation in Christ. I use to be a thug but now I'm a believer, and i can find no other joy than living for the glory of God. I aim to glorify Him everyday that i wake, i know that i fall short of that agenda daily, but by His grace alone do i still wake up and go to sleep at night. Soli Deo Gloria

we are debtors

As i was thinking today about my life, both pre and post Christ, i realized that the hand of God was always with me. I come from a divorced home, in which brought me many tears and sleepless nights and heartbreak, and i would always blame God. i would ask, why did God allow this, or does God hate me? why am i not like normal families? from 6 years old to 24 years old, divorce has always been on my mind and heart. i remember feeling ashamed when i would tell people i dont have both parents. I remember lying on parent days at school in which only either my mom made, which were few, or my grandparents. No one ever really met my dad, unless we grew up in the same hood. Yet, now, the culture sees divorce as the norm. It is normal to not endure in marriage, its normal to have mistresses or boy toys on the side, cuz, "hey who really takes marriage seriously anymore?" my heart breaks at a culture that has such a low view of marriage and true love. Marriage, which on earth points to the relationship of Christ and the Church. Do we forget that Christ loved His Bride so much that He died for her? do we not take seriously that the Church, the Bride, is called to obey Her husband? i know this world is in sin, but do we forget about our calling. Do we forget that we are called to redeem all that sin has contaminated? every single thing in this world,whatever it is, we are called to bring into the light of Christ into that arena and purify it with the blood of Him who shed His blood. I think to myself that we pray "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done;" and yet we do nothing to bring the kingdom of God to this earth. We are kingdom people, kingdom representatives, ambassadors, do we act like it? Jesus brought the kingdom, and now we are kingdom bearers, we have the kingdom message, we have the Key in which unlocks all things to make them bring glory to God. I beseech you brethren, whatever you do, seek the kingdom of God first! whether you make music, write, draw, sing, blog, speak, anything! we are called to pour the Living Water over those things which are dirty and filthy with sin and redeem them to the glory and honor of our Lord. Now, i am not saying to make Christian things in this world to enjoy this world more, i mean make it, write it, do it, for the fact that it will witness to God in this fallen world. Jesus is worth it. Jesus' death calls for it. I think of paul when he says in romans "i am a debtor to the jew and the greek, to the wise and the unwise."-romans 1:14. who amongst you whom you know is wise without Christ? you owe him the gospel! whom amongst you is foolish without Christ? You owe him the gospel. we are in debt to them. we owe them this gospel. in a world that views divorce, sex, drugs, sex trafficking, murder, lies, etc. as the norm, WE... OWE...THEM...THE...GOSPEL!!! who are we to keep hidden that in which has shone in our hearts by the grace of God alone! none of us were wise enough to choose Christ, none of us were cool enough to choose Christ, none of us merited anything that made Christ save us, this He did by His own free grace, that no man may boast. I call all those who read this to spread this to all. dont hold the gospel in selfishness, or in fear, or in shyness, or in pride, but spread it in love and grace and mercy. Jesus is the answer to a world living in a state of questions. why is the question, and Jesus holds the answer in His death, burial and resurrection and ascension. we must continually glean from the grace that He offers us, and live off of the blood which saves us and keeps us. May we always stay at the foot of the cross, head and hands lifted up in worship. i pray that we all learn our indebtedness to this culture and this age until the sky cracks and the Savior calls us home. grace and peace to all. Amen.

New Song: Christ Exalted

Here are the lyrics to a new song that i wrote, may be recorded in the next couple weeks... but here are the lyrics... tell me what ya'll think.


I shall boast in Christ, my King and Savior,
Everlasting sin stopper, never loses flavor,
Seated in the heavenlies, rules the earth,
But chose to step down and take on a human birth,
Became a bond servant, in the likeness of men,
Yet never did sin, but would be placed on Him,
Perfect from beginning to end, with no lack,
This is a true a fact, chose lashes on His back,
This was Gods task, to remove His wrath,
But Christ never chose equality with Him to be grasped,
Was obedient to the point of death, even to a cross,
With 2 wooden beams we’ll see His blood loss,
Though this was the cost, He bore our blame,
Therefore God exalted Him and gave Him the Name,
In which every knee will bow, and tongue proclaim,
On heaven and earth that Jesus is King,


(He shows us obedience, shows us humility,
Lets have the mind of Christ amongst our assembly,
For the churches main purpose it to make God visible,
And growing holiness, that’s habitual. )


He is the first born over all creation,
Both visible and invisible, He created,
Either on earth or heaven, and all in-between,
Read Colossians chapter 1 verse 16,
Whether thrones, dominions, principalities and powers,
Before Jesus Christ, all of them will cower,
He’s before all things and in Him all consist,
First born from the dead, shows His preeminence,
I’m not speaking in eloquence,
But teaching He’s heaven sent,
Nor using wise rhetoric, but reading from Holy Script,
He’s the head of the body of His bride, the Church,
Died to reconcile all things on earth, and heaven,
Bring peace, like that triple 7,
Reconciliation came to the alienated,
Feeling so elated, now to Christ we related


Long ago in many ways and many times God spoke,
To the fathers through the prophets, no joke,
But in these last days this speaking is done,
Through Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son,
He’s the heir of all things, so appointed by the Father,
Whom Christ is the radiance of, with full honor,
Upholding all things by the word of His power,
Making purification of sin, Gods wrath was devoured,
Then He sat at the right hand of the Majesty,
To worship angels instead is blasphemy,
For to which of the angels did He ever say,
You are my Son, I’ve begotten you today,
For He has obtained, a more excellent name,
Who makes his angels a ministering flame,
To worship Christ, is the purpose they were made,
And to aid those to whom salvation has been laid
