We are all called to give thanks. Not just when things are good, but especially when they are not. Giving thanks is not optional, it is commanded. “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). We are supposed to do it. We are expected to do it. We are instructed by heaven to do it. Take a moment and sit down. Turn on the news. Look around. Matthew 24 is unfolding before our eyes, wars, famines, earthquakes, b

“I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.” Jeremiah 23:21 Today is Tuesday, November 4th, 2025, and I am sitting in my office, watching the calamities on the news unfolding around us, locally, nationally, and internationally, I was moved to immediate intercession. As the news cycled from one issue or crisis to the next, I am reminded of a message from my 2020 archives titled, “WHOSE VOICE ARE YOU LISTENING TO?” BELOW YOU W

Faith is not wishful thinking, it is divine assurance. It is the spiritual anchor that holds us steady when the winds of life howl and the waves threaten to overwhelm. Faith is the unseen bridge between our present pain and God’s promised peace. It is the quiet confidence that God is still sovereign, even when chaos surrounds us. Faith matters now more than ever. These are days of shaking, political unrest, economic uncertainty, moral confusion, and spiritual warfare. Hearts

When Jesus went to the cross, He bore the weight of our sin, not our quirks, temperaments, or personalities. He died to redeem what was corrupted by sin, not to erase the uniqueness of who we are. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:7), but it does not cancel the God-given traits that make us distinct. Your boldness, your quiet strength, your creativity, your analytical mind, these are not flaws to be fixed, but gifts to be sanctified. Romans 5:8

This freedom from bondage is for every person in the world! The foundation of our freedom as believers is rooted in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Romans 6:6–7 declares, “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.” This passage reveals that through Christ’s death, our sinful nature was put to death, and we are no longer slaves to

To our beloved North Carolina Diocese family and friends, We come to you with heavy hearts and fervent prayers following the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Melissa, which made landfall in Jamaica on October 28th as a Category 5 storm with winds reaching 185 miles per hour. The devastation has been widespread, with total destruction reported in the western regions of the island. Communication has been severed, and lives have been lost, particularly in Haiti, where flooding h

AN 8-PART STUDY A Christian is not merely a churchgoer or someone who believes in good morals. A Christian is one who has been called out, transformed by the power of Jesus Christ, redeemed by His blood, and filled with His Spirit. It is a life surrendered to His will, marked by faith, love, and obedience. A Christian walks in the light of truth, empowered to speak boldly, live righteously, and reflect the character of Christ in every step. It is not just a title, it is a tes

As I sit in my office, preparing for upcoming journaling and podcast episodes, the soothing sound of rain plays softly in the background. As a retired English teacher of over 30 years and a minister for 60 years, I desire to use my education, and the gifts God has given me to encourage whomever I can, through each writing, verbal encounter and life living. The sound of rain it something I often use to wind down at night, a calming rhythm that quiets the tempest of the mind an

Beloved Members of the North Carolina Diocese, As your Jurisdictional Prelate, I lovingly urge each of you to take time and prayerfully review the Faith and Doctrine of The House of God Church, Inc. – Keith Dominion.

Remove the Tape, Your Voice Is Anointed to Speak Psalm 81:10 “Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.” Just a few days ago, I traveled out of state for a ministry engagement. I followed every instruction, email confirmations, text alerts, TSA protocols. I arrived early, passed through security, and waited quietly at the gate. When it was time for preboarding, I was in line, prepared and patient. But then, someone stepped in front of me and others, with a tone of entitlement
