The Apostle Paul is recorded in the New Testament of the Holy Bible as charging this to his beloved son in ministry, Timothy. 1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we [...]
Contrary to popular belief, sin is sin. But one that grieves the Holy Spirit is the sin of unbelief. There are many people that don’t prescribe to “organized religion,” from some hurt, or don’t believe all, and as a result are guilty of this sin. It doesn’t matter how great a deed one does, or [...]
I am the pastor of a Baptist church in northeast Washington DC named Historic Berean Baptist Church. It’s a mouthful and let me share with you a little about it. The founders of the church split from a church that they had loved named Berean Baptist Church in northwest D.C. The name “berean” comes out [...]
Last night we Rev. Derrick N. Brown, pastor of New Hope AME church as our principle revivalist. It was well attended by a large number of his church. Ours, in comparison, not so much. I had a great time in the Lord. The Spirit was high and we praised God in song, and testimony. There [...]

I am a relatively new pastor. This is my third year with the title. I didn’t come out blazing, trying to change things. I know better. Change might be inevitable but it is rarely welcomed. I am in it for the long term though if you hear me venting, I maybe gone tomorrow. I am [...]
Easter Sunday was great. I was not feeling well prior to the sermon and was fearful my health would prevent me from doing justice to the occasion. My allergies were beating me up, and I had not slept well previously. Thank God for the quickening of my spirit during the worship. I am looking forward [...]
This year, Good Friday service was different. As pastor, I am trying to keep the Main Thing, The Main Thing, meaning focusing not on personalities, music, traditions or customs but on the Word of God, to help the people of God, get closer to Him. Four years ago, I instituted the Seven Last Words of [...]
