This Sunday went really well. Gospel recording artist Bridgette Campbell-Croft blessed us tremendously with her voice! She is such an anointed singer. My prayer is that today's message "Faith in the Famine" helped restore the hibernating faith of the people. This week we're preparing for God to move in a mighty way on behalf of our congregation. Now is the time for us to Ask, Seek, and Knock for God's favor to rest on us. I hope to be able to share some exciting news next Sunday!
I had a very interesting conversation with my cousins and wife this evening about humility amongst black men. Admittedly, our "baller" mentality and sense of entitlement many times is wrapped up in our BIG EGO. I know Beyonce sings about it as if it's a good thing, but the word says that pride goes before destruction and a hauty spirit before a great fall. Could it be that for many of us, God has been sending us through tests and trials to get us to be more humble?
This week I'm committing myself to practicing intentional humility in every decision I make and every interaction. You should join me.
