Alone

Bonita Gilyard | Monday, February 1 2010 | Comments (4)

In my state of being alone I've come to know Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. God wants us to have a personal relationship with Him. In order for me to obtain this personal relationship with God it was necessary for me to be alone, totally dependent on Christ, in constant fellowship with Him and obedient to His word which ...

Has Haiti Been Cursed By God?

Say So! Editors | Friday, January 29 2010 | Comments (4)

Humans search for reason in the midst of any trying or unexplainable circumstance. Why did this happen? What could I have done to prevent this? Is this God's plan for my life? Christians often attribute good times and good fortune to being blessings of God. Times of "feast" are met with rejoicing and praising God. It is a natural experience to ...

Frankly Speaking: No Trick Questions

Bernice Coles | Thursday, January 28 2010 | Comments (2)

Life is not easy. I recently spoke with a friend who knows that I am experiencing a challenging situation with a family member. I shared with her that this person was going through a rough patch. She asked how that makes me feel. With a big grin on my face I told her, “I still believe God. The devil is ...

Living With My Wife

Michael Wilmot | Tuesday, January 26 2010 | Comments (1)

I am not the easiest person in the world to live with. I like things done a certain way and am tremendously impatient. I also set high standards for others and the frustration I feel when someone commits the dreadful error of not meeting my expectations can be intense. These added to a plethora of other social shortcomings can make ...

QUESTION:Ever since I was a small child, I'd see visions and dreams. When they came to fruition, they were just as I saw them. I put so much faith in believing God for what I saw. Seven months ago, I saw a calendar date and instantly, I knew the day of the week it was on. That day came and ...

“Then he [Jesus] said to them, ‘Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.’"Luke 12:15 (NIV) Also read Luke 12:13-21; Matthew 6:20-21; Colossians 3:5 Greed is motivated by selfishness and self-centeredness.

Lawrence G. Richardson, Sr. | Tuesday, January 12 2010 | Add a Comment

A foremost teacher on leadership, John C. Maxwell, says that “everything rises and falls on leadership”. The American Heritage Dictionary, 3rd Edition defines leadership as “the ability to guide or show the way to by going in advance”. With these two statements it also becomes imperative that leaders understand the process required for accepting the assignment to turn a big ...

Work Not, Eat Not

Deline Tan | Sunday, January 3 2010 | Comments (1)

Work! Most of us see work as a curse. We toil under the sun and like what Ecclesiastes 1:2,3 says, all is vanity. We work hard but never really enjoy our labor. We see work as the ultimate ‘survival’ rather than a blessing from God. God works too. He created the heavens and the earth in six days. He is ...

How Much Can One Heart Take?

Dena Newman | Wednesday, December 23 2009 | Comments (4)

One of my favorite books in the Bible is the Book of Ruth. It reminds me of how unconditional love in relationships is meant to be cherished, respected and honored. I believe that as Christian women and men of God, unconsciously, we think we are prepared for the day to day changes that life brings. That is, until the change ...

How to Avoid Becoming Too Busy

Theresa V. Wilson | Wednesday, December 23 2009 | Add a Comment

One Saturday evening, my husband and I were dining at a restaurant with our church Elder and his wife. In the middle of our discussion, I noticed a young woman enter and sit quietly. She began sipping a drink, looking around her cautiously. Our eyes met briefly. My initial thought was that she appeared angry and lonely. As I returned to ...

Finding The Father

Bernice Coles | Wednesday, December 23 2009 | Add a Comment

I am a blessed woman. Four years ago, I met my birth father for the first time. My wonderful daughter pushed me to pursue him. She was very pesky and in hindsight, I’m glad she was. She's almost 23 now but in her late teens, she suggested that I try to find my birth father. I never had any intention ...

Miscommunication and Pride Attitudes

Pastor Avery Kinnery | Wednesday, December 23 2009 | Add a Comment

Some people no matter how hard you work at trying to communicate with tact and diplomacy they have a tendency to be petty and sensitive about everything and with everyone. The weapon of choice that the enemy uses amongst people that share covenant relationships is miscommunication and misunderstanding. The enemy uses his weapons to promote and give life to other ...

Have You Seen Josh?

Michael Wilmot | Wednesday, December 23 2009 | Add a Comment

I miss having Josh in service on Sunday. Josh came to our church for a few months and then one Sunday he was missing. No one was overly concerned that day but then two weeks had gone without him and now it is final; Josh has the status of “Gone to a different church”. I see this happening a ...

How To Build An Empire

Towan Isom | Tuesday, December 22 2009 | Comments (1)

If the Chasing Destiny PowerPoint Presentation showed us anything, it’s that we are intentional, unintentional, or inactive in the pursuit of our destiny. We each have a destiny in life, whether we know it or not. For the longest time, I wanted to leave a legacy, to build an empire. It wasn’t until I became an entrepreneur that it became ...

The Christmas Story

Matthew - 1:18-2:23 New International Version | Friday, December 4 2009 | Add a Comment

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce ...

The Forefront of Battle

Pastor Gail Baisden | Thursday, December 3 2009 | Add a Comment

People are in a serious battle at least once in their life. During birth, it is a struggle for human life to come forth. A baby is pushed through the birth canal, an opening not much larger than four inches in diameter. Then, through the course of a lifetime, there are moments, both good and bad, that shape lives. In ...

We live in a diverse universe with many countries, cultures and peoples. Should you ever travel to other countries, a culture shock awaits. The surroundings aren't familiar. The land and customs are different. People speak another language and dress differently. It is a whole different world. There is also universal Christian language called “Seeking God”. It is a language that ...

Min. Robert & Dr. Astra Brantley - Submit your questions to faithforum@saysomagazine.com | Thursday, December 3 2009 | Comments (9)

I went to a church service last week and the guest preacher said that the Lord told him to give an offering of $100 to the church.

Min. Robert & Dr. Astra Brantley | Thursday, December 3 2009 | Add a Comment

I heard that an area pastor is teaching her church that accepting JesusChrist as their personal savior is not the only way to get to heaven.This is a new church and my heart grieves for the pastor and for the lost sheep that will be drawn to this place of worship. I feel like Ineed to make people aware of ...
