Site Guidelines

In Spirit and In Truth
 Communication Guidelines

If you would like to contact me with a question, that you do not wish to leave on this blog,  I would be more than thrilled to hear from you. Please use the contact form to reach me. I do have a few guidelines I need you to follow to ensure respectful and uplifting correspondence between the two of us.

No Debates


I will not debate points or parts of the Bible or scripture, theologies, doctrines or anything relating to the Lord and His truth in this venue. It is a waste of time, energy and emotion. They contribute to division, strife, and enemies. They lead nowhere but the opposite corners we started from. If we can agree on the validity of the KJV and the power of the Holy Spirit of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to bring forth understand and teaching. then we have, at least, a mutual starting point. Genuine questions will be genuinely answered. Debates posed as questions will not be answered.


In saying this, it does not mean I will not discuss or share scripture. Common sense dictates that If I am approached by someone with an agenda to argue an opinion or belief contrary to truth, no resolution can occur unless I concur with the opposing view...and that will be unlikely... the only correction I receive is of the Holy Spirit.

 I created this site with the intention of sharing the gospel with those who "thirst" (1). After several years of writing "confessions", it became cumbersome and draining to constantly debate cultural "Christians" who are more enamored with "hope in Christ" for this life only (2). It certainly became miserable as I've had to constantly deflect the shackles of modern Christianity and those who seemed baffled by my liberty (3) in Christ Jesus. I walked away from IS & IT to focus on another passion of mine...Holistic Living. For the past 10 years, I've studied and written articles on natural pregnancy, eating, and products. I've become a self-proclaimed herbalist and built an apothecary of natural remedies which I've successfully used to maintain my family's health. I took a master class on essential oils, make my own products, grow my own herbs. With a wealth of new knowledge, I return to my original passion of reaching those who "thirst" for Christ. 

 And I use the word "thirst" deliberately...these are those seeking, lost, and unfilled knowing there is more to this life. Those like me, who don't quite fit the parameters of society(Black, female, disabled and FREE) both religious and non-religious. Christ beckons those who thirst to come to him(1)...not forcefully or with condemnation(4)...something modern Christianianity seems to be bereft in the knowledge of. 

 This is a site that focuses on SPIRITUALITY and not legalism and therefore I will not debate modern "Christians" who walk according to the "flesh" of legalist condemnation because the LORD is a spirit and those who worship Him must do so in Spirit and in Truth. Amen. John 4:24

Confessions of a Former World Wide Church of God Member

By
Now some of you may have heard of The World Wide Church of God. For those of you who haven't here's a brief, basic, summation of WWCG, as described by Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia : "The Worldwide Church of God (WCG), formerly the Radio Church of God, is a Christian church currently based in Glendora, California , USA. Founded in 1933 by Herbert Armstrong as a radio ministry , the WCG under Armstrong had a significant, and often controversial, influence on 20th century religious broadcasting and publishing in the United States and Europe, especially in the field of interpreting biblical end-time (eschatalogical) prophecies. However, within a few years after Armstrong's death in 1986, the succeeding church administration, led first by Joseph W. Tkach, Sr. and then his son, Joseph Tkach, Jr. , examined and changed the doctrines and teachings of which the WCG held fundamental differences with more mainstream Christianity. Many members and ministers left the WCG to

The Law of Sin and Death

By
A relative and I were having a fascinating discussion about sin. He made a statement that rang very true to me. "So many Christians are obsessed with sin". For a long while, since reading other posts and forums about sin, I've been dwelling upon and studying about that matter. Although I've been compelled to analyze the subject by post, I haven't felt prepared to do so. As you all know, I'm experiencing a trial that proves to be a continuous battle for my faith. It has been a trial which continues to manifest the truth of Scripture, the Word of God, to my soul. It is during hard times such as these when the Glory of God is a sight to behold. And His goodness, a pleasant taste! "O taste and see that the LORD is good..." Psalm 34:8 Why do we obsess with sin? Either of our own or those of fellow Christians? Has Christ not set us free from the law of sin and death? "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of

Translation vs. Paraphrase

By
Up until about four years ago, I studied primarily out of the New Living Translation. It was simple to read and I was comfortable with it. However, I did notice through out my studying in that specific translation, that passages just weren't making any sense. My husband preferred the King James Version and studied out of that, our studying together almost always ended out of the KJV version for the simple fact that the NLT was not adequate in conveying some of the principles of the Word. My husband, at that time worked for Tyndale House Publishing (which publishes the NLT version) gave me a Bible published by them called "The People's Parallel Edition". This edition had the KJV and NLT side by side. It was only then I began to see a true difference between translations. Romans 8:1 in both of these versions comes out different. Romans 8:1 KJV says "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
