Faith In Motion
“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also,” James 2:26 (KJV).Having faith does not mean, I can just sit around doing nothing. Not only is that counterproductive, but faith is an action word. Faith is always in motion. James 2: 18 (KJV) states, “Yea, a man may say, thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.”So, what is faith? Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) tells us, “Now faith is the substance of...

A Way Out
“Briefly, I want to share with you what God has placed on my heart for a time such as this. If you are here, this Word is for you…and for me.” He chuckled. “God is good; He gave me a Word for you and for me. Please turn your Bibles to Psalm 119:11 and stand when you’ve found it.”He waited before saying, “Let’s read together—‘Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.’ You may be seated,” Tyler instructed.The congregation sat and looked attentive.“The Scripture says,...

Just Let It Go
Did Madison's character exhaust you? Were there times you wanted her to just release, let go and let God? In my latest release, Where My Heart Belongs, Madison Kanate's character was exhausting to write. She refused to let go of the hurt she’d been through. Seriously though, I don’t think she knew how to let it go. That hurt was baked to perfection over seven years. And, she had built up walls to mask her feelings. But, she hadn’t planned on Tyler Bradshaw showing up and worst that he would b...

The Struggle Within
“The deepest struggle you will have—will start within your spirit. It is a struggle in your innermost being, as you ask yourself the question, who am I? And this struggle gets worse when you don’t know who your parents are.”He paused to let that sink in.“But this is a struggle that you must resolve. You must resolve this struggle, or you will do a lot of damage to yourself and others.”His eyes landed on Madison and he smiled before continuing. “Because, you see, that struggle…that pain in you...

AUTHOR LIFE: Delivering life-changing messages
It’s beautiful and empowering how Christian or inspirational authors weave the Word of God into their stories. Usually, I pray about the theme of my story before I start to write. Each book in the “Encounters of the Heart” series is different and so are the messages and love stories. I pray because I want to make sure that I’m on track with the right theme for the right season. For the series in general, I hope readers will realize that there is usually more to a person’s behavior than what m...
