Bishop Marvin Sapp is giving a live recording on November 13 at The Chosen Vessel Church.
However, instead of charging for admission, attendees must donate two toys from their toy drive’s wish list.
This is a kind gesture by Bishop Sapp and his church, especially when the holidays are coming up.
Disabled, elderly, and kids are going hungry as the government shutdown drags on. SNAP benefits are delayed, families are losing paychecks, and Thanksgiving is days away.💔

To show people who Jesus is, we have to be more like Him. That means displaying love, patience, kindness, and goodness. That also means offering correction and speaking the truth in love.

“…we physically process the trauma we experienced in our lives. That manifested in serious weight gain. There was a period when I didn’t want to go to the gym. I was binge eating. I was out of work. I just went to church and spent time with God for myself.”

I’m so glad that Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka’oir spoke out about his diagnosis with schizophrenia. The more people speak out, especially within the Black community, the more the stigma against mental illness will be eroded.
Thank you, Gucci and Keyshia. God bless you both.

I think he owes her an apology. The Bible says we should give what is in our hearts, not compulsively.
Authorities found the remains of 23-year-old Philadelphia woman Kada Scott in a shallow grave near a vacant school. Scott’s mother reported her missing after she did not return home from an overnight shift on 10/8.
Praying for the family and loved ones of Kada Scott. May God’s justice be served.

A Pew Research Center study suggests that one out of four adults will remain single for life.
Thoughts?
I don’t believe that marriage isn’t a goal as it once was. Some people are finding fulfillment in being single.

It’s been only fifty years since women became able to apply for a mortgage without a man’s permission.
Fifty. Years.
Not only that, He rose from the grave and sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. He’s coming back for everybody who puts their faith and trust in Him.
Why look to the ancestors when you can look to Jesus?
We acknowledge our ancestors for blazing trails and giving their lives for the rights and opportunities we have today. However, Jesus is the One who died for our sins so we can have eternal life.
