About 'me' - as you'll come to realize, I am a mixture of things and this I've come to realize 'this' is God's gift to me. I experience life at many different levels and in many different contexts and see through many different lenses, and through it all and like the Apostle Paul, I have learned to see the Heavenly Father's good plan for my life (Romans 8:28). Through it all, I have also learned and enjoy the contentment that comes from knowing that no matter what happens, I am safely ensconced in my Heavenly Father's arms.

Change is constant and important for the person who professes faith in Christ, for such a one must contend with and surrender their previous allegiance to many patterns and systems in/of the world (1 John 2:15-17). Especially patterns and systems which do not align with the Christ message of love of neighbor. -Oghene'tega Swann

Productivity Makes No Sense If You Are Not Adequately Rewarded For It

The so-called unwillingness to work would disappear IF corporations paid everyone according to the profit the corporations make. It is highly ungodly to live in wealth and luxury while those who make your wealth and luxury possible live in abject poverty. -Oghene'tega Swann

Man or Husband Does Not Mean or Translate as Protector, Provider, Defender, Etc..

allthinxchristian

Nowhere in the Scriptures is there mention of this term being translated to mean 'provider,' 'defender,' or 'protector.' Instead, what we see in Scripture is that people who are in covenant of commitment to one another deliberately practice and model these concepts regardless of their gender. -Oghene'tega Swann

The Impact of American Psychology on Violence Against Black Men in North America

allthinxchristian

Living as a woman of color in America, it was not long before I realized that American Psychology was more harmful than helpful to Black people in America because it interprets the life of Black people from the perspective of how and where white America sees and places Black people and that until this was rectified by Black folks rising up to initiate the study of the psychology of Blacks contextually and then cross-culturally, the 'regular' psychology practiced in America is not helpful to non-whites and the non-white experience in America.

Are Racial & Gender Equality a Possibility?

allthinxchristian

The veracity and efficacy of the Gospel are not measured by how many people did not receive it, but by the transformation in those who do believe and receive it. In the same way, we must look for the veracity and efficacy of gender and racial equality not by measuring those who neither accept nor practice it, but instead in those who believe, accept and practice it. -Rev.
