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

"Interracial" Marriage

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 19   The subject of “interracial” marriage has been a sore thumb in Christendom for many years now. Is the Bible silent in this area? Is it unbiblical or sinful for people of different ethnicities to marry? We sat down with Sam and Allissa to discuss their unique perspectives on the issue.    Colloquially, Sam is black and Allissa is white. They have been married for a number of years now and have 3 children. Learn more about their “interracial” marriage, their views on Loving v.s. Virginia, and their opinion on the past BJU rule against interracial dating.    We ended the episode both with a plea for the church to be at the

Racial Relations and the Church

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 18   In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we sat down with Dr. Michael Baldwin to discuss the racial past of the U.S. and how the church handled the issue.   As a Bible believing Christian, Dr. Baldwin found no pleasure in some of the hard things he had to say, but they needed to be said in order to expose the hurt and the racial tensions of the past, and to promote healing for the present.   Conversations matter! Some of the things that were said in this podcast were difficult things to say, but we can no longer sweep these things under the rug. The chickens have come home to roost. While the church may have fa

Have the Chickens Come Home to Roost?

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... As a person who was born and raised in the Caribbean, I often say Americans do not realize what they have. It seems we crave for the failing policies of countries that cannot hold water to what the U.S. has accomplished. Why is that the case? Education, corporations, and many of our cultural norms have been heavily controlled by the political left. As a preacher once warned, if we keep sending our kids to Roman schools and we're imbibing everything Roman, we shouldn't be surprised when we all turn out to be Romans. This has been going on for a while, and now the chickens have come home to roost. Here are four things demonstrating this fact:   The prolific allowance of ungodly media and entertainment in our homes . Hollywood and other ungodly streaming and media organizations have be
