Do Not Trivialize Christianity by R. E. Smith

Don't Trivialize the Christian  Journey.



Nothing about being a devoted Christian is easy. It is destined that as Christians we endure longsuffering and as we suffer we grow in faith because our Lord and God will protect us and provide for our needs daily. Galatians 5:22  tells us “the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith.”

So the next time we stop to point finger or judge. Ask yourself, am I the perfect Christian? better yet as yourself, am I a Christian? Do i understand what it means to become a Christian? Let us not cast judgment or pretend as if being a Christian is easy. It is one of the most difficult life discussions to make knowing that you will be tempted & tried daily.

However, the rewards of heaven and the fruits of the spirit makes it all worth it. So dedicated yourself have faith and you will grow everyday.  Psalm 119:103 Tells us "How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth". Every with christ is sweeter than the day before. So don't give up, dedicate your life to God.

Digital Rebirth: A Glimpse into the Future by R. E. Smith

 The New Dawn Change is the only thing in life that is constant. Our world is going through an unprecedented change and it will never be the same again as we approach the New Age of Reformation and as these changes continue to unfold we will learn to appreciate the "New Normal" and try our best not to be left behind. The age of technology is thrust upon us and we have no alternative but to rise to the occasion and face the issues of this challenging and revolutionary period in human history. The Digital Renaissance is unfolding and the laws of adaptability will once more play a vital role in shaping our existence. The process of natural selection will once more come to the forefront and only those equipped with the knowledge of the changes in technology will be able to cope and emerge triumphantly. What is Natural Selection? Natural selection is an evolutionary theory that is expounded on by Charles Darwin. It focuses on the process by which organisms better adap

True Justice for Society by R E Smith

Image
True Justice will prevail.  Society is riddled with immoralities and lawlessness and this has become increasingly common almost as if it is the norm for society to behave like they are in a cinematic universe of GOOD versus EVIL or the Law versus Society. The lines of morality, truth, and integrity have become blurred that people no longer realize what is right or wrong in society. The moment a crime is committed and the Justice System acts speedily and without hesitation, we hear the cry echoing through our communities WE WANT JUSTICE but what is justice without integrity? And how can justice be carried out in a society when people have lost their way? When did it become the norm to challenge the law even when it is working for our own good? What is Justice?  Justice is referred to as lawful or righteous actions. It also indicates what is morally correct or the right thing to do. Most scholars and religious practitioners emphasize the need for justice and fair treatment for all men.

Sacrifice for Success by R.E. Smith

Image
Recently I was asked, "Can a man be successful without making sacrifices?" and my immediate reply was, Can a man know true love without heartbreak? The answer to both questions can only truly be answered by each individual striving to attain success or love. We are cultured from an early age to identify a career path and work towards it. This advice is a very good one but not the perfect advice to give. In identifying the career path we want to pursue and setting our minds to accomplish the task will result in us becoming productive members of society. The reality is everyone can succeed in whatever career path they chose whether it be medicine, law, education, politics, logistics, engineering or aviation. The question then stands are they truly successful or are they just being productive citizens? This question pushes us to think about what true success is because accomplishing a task or goal is not true success. It is merely completing a task while on the road to suc
