The Evil Of Man, The Grace Of God
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23, it has been written. Holy are your scriptures and We are sinners and only by God’s grace we live. Day in and day out I see and hear much evil. Humanity seeking its own destruction by avoiding to follow the guidance […]

What Appears Crooked God Makes It Straight
Friday wasn’t a good day for me. My internet wasn’t working in my office, students didn’t come to my classes’s zoom meeting, a store in the state messed up our school’s order, and I was late to get my kid in school and I drove to west Alabama instead of East Georgia for a medical […]

I’m So Thankful For God’s Provisions
As I seat here waiting to get a haircut in a small town in rural Alabama, I reflect and thank God for everything that he has provided to me and my family. Despite the obvious annoyances we are all experiencing with COVID19, I must say that God is good. To start of with, God has […]

We Are Called To Be Merciful
We are called to be merciful. It’s a blessing to show mercy to others. Having the power and authority over people is a big responsibility and it calls for much mercy in my book. In the sermon on the mount Jesus stated, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” Matthew 5:7. Compassion […]

A Calling For The Obedience Of Faith
In the beatitudes we learn that “Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.” Jesus was meek and had a humble heart (Matthew 11:29), it has been written.

The Last Will Be First And The First Will Be Last
I’m seating here on my first graduation at Talladega College. I’m the first faculty to be present in the graduation premises which is often not a surprising fact. If a ceremony starts at 9:00am I’m usually in my spot around 8:15am or so. I could have taken my seat up front but in my book, […]

Resist Pride At All Costs
“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.” Proverbs 11:2. Resist pride at all costs. Much disgrace comes to those who choose to not repent from pride. I’ve experienced the former in my own skin. When I was a teenager, I remember experiencing a period when I had much pride in […]

God Takes Us Places For A Reason
The Lord guides us to do His will when we submit to His authority. The bible says, “For I know the plans I have for you… plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11.” I truly believe that. Many prosperity gospel false preachers take […]

Everything Was Wrong Now It’s Right
People can’t chose in which circumstances they were born but the future is indeed a chosen path. Thank goodness this is the case. Let me explain. I was born in a family with tradition in Brazil who belongs to the Brazilian upper class. Although I enjoyed growing up with the many amenities my parents were […]

Choose Love Over Evil, Do Good
“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.” Romans 12:9. Love, above all things, are to be stamped inside of our hearts so that evil flees from our sinful nature resulting in is doing what is good, in Christ. I’m often amazed by how evil some people can be. […]

Trying To Guess The Future Is Futile
The Lord has taught us in several places in His loving word that worrying about the future isn’t worth our time. “O que sera, sera” as we learn in Brazil! What is going to be is what is going to be, with God’s blessings. In Matthew 6:25-34 we learn, “Therefore I tell you, do not […]

Your love is indescribable. It’s simply divine
“Oh God, for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.” Psalm 63.7. I thank the Lord for the grace gives me when I don’t deserve it. I don’t deserve the air that I breathe or the food that I eat but God has been my help, […]

Choose Good Over Evil Acts
In 3 John 11 we learn, “Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.” We are called to do good and flee from evil. To support others rather than to seek selfish ambitions, to serve instead of being served. We are to […]
