While

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Let's talk about while. While we were yet sinners. While we were at the club. While we were having sex. While we were smoking. While we were getting drunk. While we were fighting. While we were cheating. While we were lying. While we were rebellious, Christ was still thinking about us. Can you imagine showing someone so much love and they aren't even looking your way? That's how we treated God. God not only created us and woke us up every day in our sin. He sent His Son Who was willing to go, to die so that we may have a true chance at eternal life if we believe(Romans 10:9). 

Everyone has a "while" they can attest to regarding God's patient Love. I mean who else would sacrifice their own child for people who don't care about them or the child? Moreover, who would willingly die for people who mistreat Him every day? People who don't want to spend time with Him. People who would rather have one night stands(Sunday Only's) than a personal relationship. People who would only use Him when they need Him. People who was suppose to be His friend denying and betraying Him. People who treat others better than Him. Can you think of anyone else who can stand that kind of hurt not forgetting the ridicule & physical pain on The Cross? But God! God loved us so much that He knew Jesus Blood could cover all the wrong we can ever do. Jesus Blood replaces our sins. Jesus Blood that remains powerful! As we take this journey during Holy Week, remember your "while" that He died for so that you may live. #RoadToCalvary #While #HolyWeek #FF

The Lord's House

Matthew 21:13 And He said to them, "It is written, My House will be called a house of prayer and you have made it into a den of thieves!"


As we continue through Holy Week we are mindful of the scripture above. Can you imagine Jesus walking into your local church with the same anger and disgust? I mean out of all the places they could have gone to do unholy things, they chose to do it in The Lord's House. Just sin on top of sin.  Let's take it even further since we are now the temple of The Lord. It would be even more shameful to hear Jesus question what we have turned our bodies into. While we were sinners we had every opportunity to misbehave and count it for ignorance. Now being born again and knowing Whose we are we then know that our life as well as our bodies belongs to God for His glory. So have your life or body been used for God's glory lately? Are you taking care of yourself, fornicating, harboring anger, or mistreating your body in any way? Allow Him to drive out all that is hindering Him from receiving glory through your vessel today. Light can only shine when darkness is absent. When The Light comes darkness flees! In Matt. 21:12 it illustrates Jesus being The Light driving out every dark intruder that came into His House and He can do it for you. So proclaim, This shall be called the house of worship. The place where God lives!

Palm Sunday

Matthew 21:9 And the crowds that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, "Hosanna to The Son of David: Blessed is He that comes in The Name of The Lord; Hosanna in the highest.


It is Palm Sunday and Fearless Faith is excited about it. Of course this is not a one time celebratory moment because what Jesus did for us is a constant memorabila that is undetachable from our hearts. However, nationally we do partake in this day. The day that started Jesus walk to death and resurrection for us! Whew! Aren't you glad? Glad that the same Blood that was shed over two thousand years ago has the same wonder working Power? Power to change lives and free souls because it happened for me. Remember what Jesus went through in the highest regards. The same people that cried out, "Hosanna!", in praise also said, "Crucify Him!", on Calvary.

Isn't that something? Even closer to home the very man that was around Jesus as a disciple betrayed Him for some silver, silver! We have people like that today who once shouted Thank You Lord are now cursing Him. How? Well, by willingly living in a way that does not portray Christ. You, me, us are just like the people in the crowd if we are yelling and crying out on Sunday. Yet act a fool Mon-Sat on purpose without a conviction in the world to want to do better. The crowd teaches us that it is not what we do on Sunday that matters, but every day. Our faith should not waver because Jesus is unpopular. We should remain consistent and boldly proclaim Hosanna in the highest not just with our mouth, but in our lives! #HolyWeek #PalmSunday #RoadToCalvary #FF 

Tit for Tat

Psalm 97:10 You that love The Lord, hate evil: He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the land of the wicked.


Let's talk about the title tit for tat. I know naturally it seems like a great idea to get back at our enemies or anyone who has wronged us. We have the notion that they should feel how they made us feel, but what does that really solve? Who are you really hurting? It takes way too much energy to plot, scheme, and be angry than it does to forgive and treat people right. Seriously, I know. Living with anger is not a good look spiritually, mentally, nor physically. We hear a lot about people having sudden heart attacks, strokes, or having high blood pressure partially because of what we may be holding on to inwardly. It is not always the fried chicken. Some of us have deep anger within that after time can silently destroy us. Remember, that is one of satans jobs(John 10:10). 

So instead of replicating the natural pattern of "tit for tat" let's stand on the promise of God. God said He will deliver us from those who treat us badly. Anything God says WILL happen. There is no question or a doubt about it. Just consider your enemies taken care of. Besides, just as the beginning states, we should hate evil anyway. How can we portray to be a believer if we retaliate as a sinner? Sinners are expected to return evil for evil, but we are called to a higher purpose. Treating people right is easier anyways. Yes! I did say it easier because it is freeing. Freeing in the sense that you are not tied down by the weight that comes with living in anger and bitterness. Be liberated! Christians should be the most unbothered people on the planet. So no more tit for tat when you are done wrong. Let God handle that, forgive, and move on!

When? Win!

When will the rain stop? When will the pouring come to an end? Can broken things really heal again? When?

When? I demand to know when? The clouds are dark! I thought the sun was my friend. As I walk and people pass me by. I wonder do they even care when I cry? When I try? Try to keep the smile on my face, but WHEN I am alone it goes away. When? Well, God said WHEN troubles come to look towards the hills. That's WHEN all my tears instantly cleared. I knew then that my WHEN was now because He carried every burden, every pain, every doubt. So now I am encouraged to no longer worry about WHEN because in Christ I Win, I Win! 

Just as the picture states, worrying solves nothing. As believers we are encouraged and lifted in every way possible. Troubles are inevitable and so are our victories. Jesus said, IT IS FINISHED! That's it. No matter what it looks like, believers always come out on top. Remember Jesus was on The Cross hanging in mockery. Some thought it was over. They found out in the end that it wasn't. It was actually the beginning. A new beginning. Don't be discouraged in your "When's" of life. Be encouraged that you have already won in Christ! 

Life After

Have you heard the news? There is life out here waiting for you. One must be careful not to cherish these earthly blessings so much that once taken from us we feel like we are in total despair. I mean how can we hang our head low when we have a God Who sits high and cares for us deeply? Don't get me wrong, I know when troubles come that sadness or anger is usually the main attitude we have during the situation. We may pout, shut down, or cry initially which is fine. That is normal, but we shouldn't dwell in those attitudes. At some point we have to wake up, get dressed, and get ready for life. Because our real treasures are in Heaven, right? Not in these temporal matters, but in our permanent Home.

Job (in the Bible) can definitely attest that trials only prove how faithful, strong, and caring our God is to His people. Just as the quote states, it makes no sense to look for happiness in things that can easily go away which are jobs, other people, and material possessions. Why not anchor your joy in more permanent things? Heavenly things which will give you constant Hope no matter what comes your way. So, don't allow ended relationships, a bad test score, setbacks, or losing a job keep you down. Yes, all of those can get you down, but do not let it keep you down. There is life after whatever you may be going through. A life full of promise. A life filled with blessings. Our minds are powerful instruments. With it, we can decide whether we are happy, sad, mad, and the list continues. The more Word our mind has knowledge of (from God) the more capable we are at seeing the life after... A life sculpted and ready for you by God's own Hands. Just continue to let Him guide you and go get your life! The life God desires for you, to trust Him through it all. #FF #LifeAfter

Wellness Wednesday: Meditation

Joshua 1:8 "Keep this book of the law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful" 

It's hump day!! For most of us this is the peak of our work week and things maybe a little tough, but it's almost over. Do yourself a favor today and take 10 minutes, grab your Bible, pick a scripture that is befitting of your current need (or use the weekly meditation scripture on our website), and meditate on it. This should be done in addition to your normal time spent with God daily. Make this a habit on what has become your most stressful day of the week whether it be a Wednesday, Monday, or Friday. Meditation is a way to block out everything that's going on around you to focus as well as gain balance and inner peace from the Almighty. This will also increase your self-awareness on how to prioritize and approach certain situations by refreshing your spirit during the week.
