Amongst the vogue of social justice remains a need greater then shelter & food. The need of salvation. this should drive our benevolence... always!

others.

May others be your passion. For when others become your passion, no matter what you do, you make a difference.

revelation.

Revelation is more then the unveiling of a passage or the Holy Spirit giving you the answer, rather I believe true revelation is the action of us as humanity unveiling of ourselves before God. stripping ourselves down and laying bare before God. it is then that we receive true revelation.

justice.

It is time to give our all, to lay down our insecurities and tear off our own agendas. We must slap fear in the face and stay true to our calling. Not for recognition or for status, not even for the feeling of humility. But rather because God has called us to establish justice and righteousness into our world. We must live for the thousands without hope, without love and without life.

faith vs fear

When we evict our life of fear, we gracefully move from what was into the miracle of what can be. faith begins when fear ceases.

animal instinct

To be treated like an animal and to act like an animal are two different things. You may not have social respect, but never lose self respect.

opportunity

man may lack time, talent & money, but he will never lack opportunity.

the church and society.

People are not against church, rather they are detached from a lifeless religion. Yet also dissatisfied with the short changed strive for personal success portrayed from society. Stuck between two worlds they cry for more, a real exchange with real results. One for another, we as the Church are that exchange, the Real God in a not so real world.

almost

mind murder.

The mind has killed more men then any murderer could envisage. fear not the power of weapons, but the power of poor thinking.

validation_

In a society where every man desires validation I cannot fathom that they purposefully ignore the validator.

one for another

To deny justice to your neighbour is to deny justice as a concept.

walk straight

To walk the pavers of integrity is wise, as they are set by God and do not move or cause one to stumble.

hard head. soft heart.

Knowledge fills the mind. wisdom fills the heart.

true friendship

Friendship is more then trust and more then faithfulness. It goes further then loyalty. True friendship is the willingness to allow the relationship to be one of self-loss.

Anxiety.

Anxiety over the uncontrollable adversely effects that within your control.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
[Philippians 4:6]

the real you

Reputation is perception. Character is reality.

build me up buttercup_

Attain not to compete against one another but rather against ones self. For one builds ego and the other character.

choose wisely.

Integrity is a choice. Chosen by few. Admired by many.

the test of time_

Life... If you desire speed, go alone. if you desire distance, take companions.

- Reuben Leigh Skewes

the fervent prayer_

May my life be a testament to God and may my actions be followed by the forth-coming generations. May my words break chains and instill love into a hurting world. May I be challenged everyday to do more and go harder. May opportunity be my vehicle and may changed lives be my fuel.

- Reuben Leigh Skewes

the sound of love_

The Word of God can only be spoken in Love. To speak the Word without Love is merely a cacophony

remote living

The revolution will not come from the TV screen... So stop changing the channel… Start changing the world!

grace_

Grace does not deny nor does it ignore. It pretends not that we are not broken, confused and airing need. Instead Grace, in the face of our failures and short comings, loves without end, redeems the lost cause and instills hope where it is no longer. We are saved by this Grace.

exchange rate.

The words of truth exchanged between companions is the greatest of the currencies.

- Reuben Leigh Skewes

paradigm shift.

Defy the given, challenge the equilibrium and accept the shift of paradigm.

- Reuben Leigh Skewes

identity crisis.

If the entirety of my reality is based upon protecting my true identity, then i have missed it. Because my reality should be a reflection of my identity. Strong, God based and forever fresh.

- Reuben Leigh Skewes

the arrogant few.

The admittance of self acquired wisdom is the inception of ignorance and foolishness. A trait followed quickly by arrogance.

- Reuben leigh Skewes

keep it real.

Determine not to turn life into a soapy; a popcorn munching junket of visual indulgence full of dramatised dribble. smile, keep short accounts, love others, be the bigger person and always lead by example. live it and love it.
