In What Time I am Afraid

While it is possible to consider Jesus Christ being afraid of His impending journey to the cross, before His crucifixion, He did ask the Father…” If it is possible, let this cup pass from me”. I make this point for those who say they have no fear of anything. When fear does present itself, there are two options…fight or flight. Stand your ground, face it, confront it or…” exit stage left!”

Premarital Canceling

Going Against The Grain Posted on March 27, 2019 by Nathaniel LewisApril 20, 2019

Everything good or not so good about the relationship will either strengthen or weaken the bond you should already have after being together for some time. Special moments, those intimate conversations and resolving those problematic issues are some of the things that make, healthy relationships.

Wait on the Lord

Going Against The Grain Posted on March 26, 2019 by Nathaniel LewisMarch 26, 2019

How do you wait? Do you sit there idle until someone knocks at the door, or until that letter shows up in the mailbox? Some people very well know, they prefer neither because of who it might be. Fear is a real thing in the life of the believer. Although the scripture has constant reminders of “Fear Not”…

Church – Place of Worship or Institution?

Going Against The Grain Posted on March 26, 2019 by Nathaniel LewisMarch 25, 2019

While I believe there should be order in the place where the people of God assemble, the modern church seems to more of a place where the congregants have been institutionalized and trained to the point, they are dependent of leadership for all they need to appear godly.

Don’t Call It Love

Going Against The Grain Posted on March 25, 2019 by Nathaniel LewisMarch 25, 2019 3

Love doesn’t need flowers or a box of candy to prove itself, it shouldnt doesn’t need a designer purse to show others its existence. You may not hear it speak, but you can see it in action, you know it’s there and feel the warmth of its presence.

Getting There!

Going Against The Grain Posted on March 24, 2019 by Nathaniel LewisMarch 25, 2019

It seems that everyone is trying to get to somewhere. For me, the past few years presented many challenges. Its been quite a journey and along the way, there were many distractions. When its quiet and you have the opportunity to think with other pulling you in their direction, helps … Continue reading →

Why The Guilt? – So You Did Not Go to Church Sunday?

Going Against The Grain Posted on March 24, 2019 by Nathaniel LewisMarch 25, 2019

Where were you when the church doors were open? That’s a question that makes the “AWOL” church member blush with guilt because of what others may be thinking. Somehow church attendance seems to correlate with your “spiritual maturity and depth” in the Lord; I say that sarcastically.

Get The Shopping Cart With The Wobbly Wheels!

Going Against The Grain Posted on March 20, 2019 by Nathaniel LewisApril 15, 2019

What now? The calm after the storm is beginning to bore me. The news still reports that we are to shelter in place and I’m ready to venture out. The storm is passing over North Carolina at a pace of two miles per hour! Man, I can walk faster than the wind is blowing!

The Church Or Just Another Empty Building?

Going Against The Grain Posted on March 19, 2019 by Nathaniel LewisMay 5, 2019

The building is not the church, the people are the church. The church is never abandoned, foreclosed on, and it certainly cannot burn down. Like homes, the church building is seized, burned by fires and damages by flood waters.
