As I was pondering in my heart what the next message would be, the Holy Spirit gave me this to write. During a senior Christmas party a couple of days ago, a lady was sitting next to me and a conversation struck up with her telling me a couple of things that children said to Santa Claus: 1)     Santa asked a child this: “What is your name?” The child answered: “I thought you knew my name!” This reminds me of the song “Santa Claus” is coming to Town” – You better watch out, Yo

When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So, they said,  “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”   He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”   Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”(Matthew 16:13-16). Who does God say Jesus is – And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved

I  don’t know of a better time to talk Jesus, who is my Savior and Lord. This time of year, is so commercialized and the main focus is on Santa Claus; in symbolism he is completely opposite of Jesus. This means that Jesus came to give life and the devil came to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). I can understand the world promoting Santa, but for the people of God to do it, this is totally out of line with the Word of God. I am going to tell anybody unashamedly who I iden

Continuing about Jesus and who the entire Word of God is centered around, this message is to warn and bring awareness to those who are abusing titles. For they don’t practice what they teach. They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden. Everything they do is for show. On their arms they wear extra wide prayer boxes with Scripture verses inside, and they wear robes with extra-long tassels. And they love to sit at the head tabl

Jesus is the Word! Jesus is the way, He is the truth, and He is the life (John 14:6). Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). The church was founded on Jesus and His apostles (five of the ministry offices). And He [Jesus] Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the fai

Saturday Hop Around 12-7-2025 I went to Missions Barbecue to enjoy a complimentary breakfast which was delicious (all of their food is). A friend went with me and we joined other friends for food, fun, and fellowship. The restaurant is a blessing to so many people. While in Deptford, we went shopping for gifts that are to be given at a couple of events. Several places were on our list after leaving Missions, which included Staples, Acme, Walmart, Boscov’s’ (my favorite store)

Kimberly Shea’s Story Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Kimberly Shea, and I attend Lindenwold Senior Center. I started going to the Senior Center when the reopened in August last year (2024). At the time I never imagined going to a Senior Center at my age. Fresh Environment After attending the center, I met new people who are now friends, and we even consider ourselves family, because when one of us is going through some challenges, everybody is concerned. We rally

This is a message to warn those who are putting certain people on pedestals and also for those who are exalting themselves. Ministry is about serving not having others being enslaved to leaders. Jesus said:  For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45); God highly exalted Him because He humbled Himself.   Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not cons

Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,    through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared,    who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods  that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.    For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,    fo

I wrote about the corruption in the church, and today’s message gives further awareness as to know who’s what. As you read this message, remember this, I did write the Bible; it was written by God inspired men (2 Peter 1:21). Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,    through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared,    who forbid marriage and require ab

$$$$$$ This message is not to judge anyone, because God only knows the heart of every person. However, the Word tells us that we should be mature enough in their walk to discern good and evil.   But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is ,  those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil (Hebrews 5:14). Many churches are not teaching principles for people to grow up in their walk with the Lord. Many leaders are preaching

The reason there is a deviation of what I felt should be posted next; is because of the attacks and afflictions from evil forces that are continually buffeting me. This is for all those who trust and obey God to the best of their ability. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution (2 Timothy 3:12) Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.   Blessed are you when they revile and persecut

A week ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to attend a church in Philadelphia where some of my family are members. The messenger’s delivery was from the book of Proverbs (the book of wisdom) and it was such a blessing to hear. It was evident that he had put much studying into the message, which reminded me of what Paul encouraged Timothy to do: “Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering and teaching” (2 Timoth

Although the Thanksgiving day celebration is over, giving thanks is never over, so this message is about a church who reached out to the community eight days ago. On Saturday, November 22, 2025, a church extended invitations to those throughout the community and Oh’ what a blessing it was to be one of the recipients of multiple blessings. The church does this type of outreach not only at Thanksgiving, but their extension of love is also shown in several ways, and the communit

Yesterday was a blessing indeed as White Oak Baptist Church and St. Mark AME Church in Lindenwold teamed up to serve a delicious meal to tenants in Lindenwold Towers. The outreach of two denominational churches being unified was commendable. The combined ministries on yesterday was a Psalm 133 - Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Neither of these churches is considered mega, but their hearts are BIG! Pastor Cedric Holmes and membe

Give Thanks to the Lord! Although we should worship, praise and give thanks to the Lord everyday, most Christians set aside a specific day to assemble with others in praise, worship (Hebrews 10:25), and most importantly the Word of God which is the greatest form of worship. Why is that so? The more of the Word we know, then we understand how to worship the Lord according to His Word, which is true worship. It is the same with Thanksgiving, the holiday that has been set aside

Thank God for all those who serve with a heart of compassion, rather than pitying someone, compassion is action. On this pre-thanksgiving day, I would like to thank the Lord God Almighty for being a witness to how He moved upon the hearts of so many people to share theirs resources that came from Him, for He is the Source of all things. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of

The point that I am trying to make is how people view us: 1)      There are some negative things said about Christians because of the world looks at us. They expect us to be perfect. However, our bodies are sinful, because we live in a fallen world; thanks be to God our bodies are not the real us. Our inward man is perfect because the Spirit of God who  lives in us is perfect; old things are passed away and we have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).   2)      Let’s flip the oth

This is the beginning of a series of challenges to motivate the readers to understand how important it is to live the way God desires for His children to live. The next few days will be challenges to get the readers’ brains to think; but to go beyond thinking about the natural circumstances and see what the Word of God says about God putting people together, rather than seeking on your own or letting someone else try to match you with someone. There are all types of resources

Across from parking lot at my complex I have interviewed a couple of the seniors about sharing at least one of their stories/testimonies but the interviews are incomplete. So, today, the post is about some of the beautiful scenes close to where I live (2023). The artificial arrangement above (bottom) is the live floral piece (top) that the horticulturist instructed how to make it. Others are the door decor and a centerpiece that was made in a horticulture class; I really tak
