(ThyBlackMan.com) When I wrote and posted the poem An Edifice Complex, I wanted to present a truth in a parabolic way – allowing the reader to experience a revelation in their own time as they digested the words for themselves. Well, I’ve been directed to make it plain today! I ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) In Revelation, Jesus said that He’d rather us (the Church) be hot or cold and not lukewarm. The irony of this is that it’s when the weather tosses these extremes of hot and cold at us that we show lukewarm sentiments the best! While He wasn’t speaking from a ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) For the past year, I have been wrestling with the thought- “What does it means to Black and a Christian.” That may appear as a no-brainer comment with a diluted intent to segregate but that is far from the truth. It unpacks a question that many young black males ...
