A Warm Invitation to Church

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Matthew 4:19 (And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.) “I do not care if you ever darken the doors of my church.” I would often say this to folks I am sharing the gospel with. My wife Jay did not like the tone of that statement and asked me to stop saying it. Tone aside, however, I mean it. I first said it to a person who accused me of evangelizing because I want more people to come to my church so offerings can increase. Our youth pastor lamented in a recent sermon, “We invite folks to a location rather than to the Person of Jesus Christ. That captures perfectly what I have felt all along. Too often, Bible believing Christians make it a habit to invite folks to a location. I decided years ago that I will never invite anyone to church without first tryin...

Why Did CHAZ-CHOP Fail?

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 7 In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast we had “DW” join us to talk about CHAZ-CHOP,  and the unbelievable happenings surrounding this “protest zone.” CHOP-CHAZ went on for 3 weeks before the authorities exercised law and brought order to the zone. We looked at who is to be blamed for the rise of CHAZ-CHOP,  whether this type of insurrection is protected by the constitution, and why it ultimately failed. We ended the episode with a warning of coming judgment and the escape for the penalty of the that judgment in Jesus Christ.

Christians and Firearms

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds...  Episode 6  In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast we had “MD” join us to talk about firearms, the 2nd amendment, and gun ownership. Discussion about firearms has been highly politicized, ownership of weapons are at times are looked down upon, and it can also be barrier to sharing the gospel.  We looked at some of the basics of firearms and talked a bit about the AR15, M16, and other firearms. We discussed whether it is a God-given right to own a firearm, and whether gun ownership demonstrates lack of trust in God. Furthermore, we discussed mass shootings and what can be done about them.  We ended the episode with the only solution to mass shooting: the changing of human heart through salvation in Jesus Christ.   To leave us a messag...

Black Culture: a Monolith?

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds...  Episode 5  Recently Joe Biden caused a stir in the African American community by implying that the community was a monolith. We took that statement and dived into whether he was correct in his analysis.  Furthermore, we used Coleman Hughes’ messy experiment by comparing 2nd generation Caribbean American culture to that of the African American culture. We ended the episode with sharing how all cultures are monoliths in that we are all born in sin and that we can break free from our bondage though repentant faith in Jesus Christ.

Black Lives Matter - The Destruction of the Nuclear Family

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode: 4   Series: BLM - 2 Black Lives Matter makes it clear that they want to "disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure." We dive into the ramification of that that statement and look at the structure that the Bible recommends for families. We show the dangers in getting rid of the nuclear family structure even as it declines in the United States today. We showed that the nuclear family structure is the best model to raise children in and address some of the ills that affect the black family today.   We ended the show with a clear presentation of the gospel.  To leave us a message or support the podcast: The Removing Barriers Podcast Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here: Spotify Apple Podcast Google Podcast YouTube Bre...
