Because You Say It, Doesn't Make It So: Women...
INSIGHT I love the Bill Cosby Show. He is one of our greatest “Father-figure” TV role-models of all time. Some may say Father Knows Best or Marcus Welby (for those of you who are old enough to remember) are enduring images of strong solid father-figures. But as an African American, Leave It To Beaver just didn’t do it for me. I couldn’t identify with many of their...

Because You Say It, Doesn't Make It So Pt.IV
Noadiah Noadiah is only mention in Nehemiah 6:14. She was an evil Prophetess that apparently pronounced curses instead of blessings. You will remember that Noadiah is mentioned amongst Tobiah and Sanballat - they were the individuals conspiring to hinder and sabotage the work and building of the wall. She was NOT working for the Lord, enough said. Isaiah’s Wife Isaiah’s wife...

Because You Say It, Doesn't Make It So Pt.III
Deborah is introduced to us in Judges 4:4, as WIFE and JUDGE. Notice the order, it’s not by accident. Deborah was the Wife of Lapidoth (a person who is not mentioned again in all the bible. We don’t know anything about him other than Deborah was his wife). While we know very little about him, we do know a lot about his headship, leadership and influence over his wife - Deborah - by...

OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETESSES & THEIR ROLES Prophetess - Miriam Let’s look at a few of the most popular women and get them out of the way. The first that is widely talked about is MIRIAM. If you read all of the collected scriptures about Miriam, you would find that the only thing she did was spoke wisdom to the daughter of Pharaoh which led Pharaoh’s daughter to hire Moses’...

GOD'S WILL FOR YOUR LIFE:
A very common saying is - “I want to make sure I’m in the Will of God.” You ever heard that? Christians are ALREADY in the Will of God and God’s Will for your life is YOUR heart’s desire. WORD FOR THE DAY: God will give you the desires of your heart and use them to bring Him glory. FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCES OF THINGS HOPED FOR…

SMELLS:
Like stinky feet or foul under arms…so is unrighteousness before the Lord. WORD FOR THE DAY: We would say ‘get away and clean your behind,’ but Jesus says, ‘Come unto him and bring your stink with you;’ I’m so glad my Salvation is in Jesus’ hands. -D’Adran Bryant

MORE:
Everyone wants to be more. It’s not enough to be just a preacher, just a father or mother…we want to be MORE! So, we start adding to God’s titles and roles to build OURSELVES up in the eyes of the world. WORD FOR THE DAY: Jesus said “Anyone desiring to be the greatest among you, let him be the servant…” Let the air out of your ego and add SLAVE to your title. ...

Sin ‘IS’ contagious. Even the appearance of evil is strong enough to destroy. WORD FOR THE DAY: Abstaining from the APPREARANCE of evil is imparative and highly suggested. But SIN in your life (unconfessed) should be quarantined and treated immediately. GET SEEN AND TREATED. -D’Adran Bryant

HYPHENATED NAMES
Proclaim what God put together is INCOMPLETE. WORD FOR THE DAY: Some women THINK it’s a symbol of power and independence, but it’s like draging around an old blanket from her past. Eventually, it get’s in the way. Remember: The highest form of flatter from a man is for him to ask you to be his wife; you reciprocate by taking on HIS name. THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE. ...

POEM: "I Remember" by D'Adran Bryant
Recently, I watched a story about John Lewis the boy walking with Dr. King. He was being spit upon called Nigger, rocks thrown at him, and everything.They showed another reel of Rep. John Lewis- the distinguished man and HERO. Here also he was walking against a sea of angry voices treating him like a ZERO. My mind could not be restrained from recalling the indelible impressions when I was just a...

SLEEP DEPRIVED? SAY, "YES LORD..."
Psalms 77:3-12 Can’t sleep? Maybe God has open the door for you to conversate with him. WORD FOR THE DAY: Sometimes, God extends the invitation for us to talk with him - using what often seems like a curse - insomnia; it’s actually a well crafted moment initiated by God to answer some of your nagging questions or just talk to him about your concerns. The bible records (1 Samuel...

He Gave Me Rest...Imagine That
Psalms 68:19, “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Se’lah.  Last night/early this morning I was just like a kid on Christmas morning. I could NOT get to sleep for nothing! I was up and down all night and before I knew it, it was 1:45am. I kept telling myself - if I could just get to sleep at this point - I could still get a few hours...

FAITH: In Plain View
I have a female 1 year old Dapple Dachshund named Faith. Besides being beautiful, she’s also quite funny. One of Faith’s favorite games is hiding from us, but all of her hiding places are in plain sight. Though we are looking right at her - she THINKS we can’t see her. Such is the case with so many of us and God. WORD FOR THE DAY: God can see you in the dark as if it were the...
