My Daily Bible Reading [Making the Bible a Part of My Life - Part 2]

Reading through the entire Bible transformed my life. I have gone from someone who would read a little bit here & there to someone who now enjoys reading the Bible just to read it. While I may not always feel like reading my Bible, I make an effort to do so every day. If left [...]

Reading Genesis to Revelation [Making the Bible a Part of My Life - Part 1]

I’ll be honest, reading the Bible on a consistent basis isn’t the easiest thing in the world to do. Have you ever tried reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelation? It’s a daunting task, to say the least. I’ve been a Christian for nearly two decades and I can’t even count the number of times [...]

Goodbye Analog, Hello Digital

Earlier today I was contemplating the thought of purchasing a new print Bible. One of the first posts I made on this site was about my switching to the ESV. Well, the only print ESV I own is a 2001 text edition, and there have been a number of changes since then with the 2007 [...]

Stop the Funeral & Live Again

I don’t know why I’m just now seeing the video below featuring William Branch (The Ambassador) & his wife Michelle, but it’s quite fitting given the timing of events in my life. I remember last year when his album Stop the Funeral was released, as I picked it up on or near its release date, since [...]

The Cross Movement: Respect Due [A Look Back, Part 2]

As I stated in my last entry, my start in Christian hip-hop was quite balanced. I was enjoying the biblical raps and the less churchy type raps as well. Basically, as long as it sounded good and I knew it was glorifying God, then I had no problem with it. That being said, there was [...]

My Christian Hip-Hop Genesis [A Look Back, Part 1]

I’ve been a fan of Christian hip-hop for a long time now. For me, it originally started when I was still in middle school (1995?) while taking a trip to visit the East Carolina University campus and get a taste of college life. The guy that took us was a member of the church I [...]

Humbling Moments Studying the Scriptures

Humbling Moments Studying the Scriptures

As a believer, there are times when you experience very humbling moments at the hands of Scripture. Today was one of those days for me. Since moving to Charlotte, my friend Antoine and I have made it a point to get in some consistent fellowship with each other. That time usually consists of chopping it [...]
