Street Corner Devotions

  • Quid Pro Quo

    Effort to uphold our part of the relationship with G-d is proof of our idolatry of Him. Effort implies we expect response. Relationship with G-d is a turning of the heart. An awareness of Him. NOT the payment of a toll, or Quid Pro Quo. If our hearts are conditioned to need to ”pay the Read more

  • Theseus’s Ship

    I initially became acquainted with the overwhelming presence of G-d in a heap, on the floor, under a blanket. I had all BUT completely train-wreaked my life by the time I was a young adult. From a broken home, having developed a twisted perspective of life, I barely escaped landing in prison. I remember at Read more

  • The Pandemic of the Preoccupied Mind

    3 months ago I stepped away from social media. I had become too immersed in what was happening online. I frequently got into squabbles. I cared too much about how people critiqued what I shared. I watched what people were doing and saying all the time. I felt like I had a life there, to Read more

  • Discussing Righteousness

    Being a righteous person and being perceived as a righteous person are not always synonymous. Being righteous sometimes causes people to perceive you as wicked. And being perceived as righteous sometimes requires a person to do wicked things to maintain that perception. The difference is in the secret motive of a person’s heart. Take the Read more

  • Root Issue

    When dealing with problems we can either lop off the branches of issues or we can put the axe at the root of the issue. Most times we are deceived into waging war on branches and then being stunned when they grow right back, never dealing with the root source. When looking at the varied Read more

  • Hill of Beans.

    Exposing ourselves to all the right doctrine and right teaching in the world doesn’t amount to a hill of beans if we aren’t willing to put on the type of humility that it takes to walk it out.   Don’t just hear good teaching, do good teaching. And for Jesus’s sake don’t perpetually read books Read more

  • “Idol in Tow”

    “Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal, but treasure up to yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal, for where your treasure is, there will be also your Read more

  • The Sweet Spot

    “It happens all too often that the beautiful truths of the scripture get turned into rules and regulations that hinder us from true freedom. Well versed in scripture and religion, the adversary has used these things to turn us from the kind and lowly Jesus.”- page 21 of Unveiled Christ came to bring us relationship Read more

  • Sexuality and Christianity

    I am troubled by how we have become so over aware of sexuality. Most every advertisement, every song, every article of clothing, every thought has been steered towards sex and sexual attraction. Sex, being a perk of life and the point of procreation is a wonderful facet of life. Despite popular opinion it is not Read more

  • All in?

    Once you realize that the Faith is not about performance and presentation you become ruined unto true relationship with real people and a real present God. You may attempt to reenter and find ways to rightly perform so that you convey the real relationship that you’ve learned about, but it won’t work. You can’t teach Read more
