Chicago Violence On Rise

God Is NOT Mad!

Religion (which is rules and regulations without relationship) portrays God as vengeful, reactionary and vindictive. This is NOT what Christianity is nor what being a Christ-follower is about. Christianity is simply letting the Christ, Who dwells within by His Spirit, live fully and express Himself and His nature through us each and every day.

Freddie reminds us that God is 'color-blind,' holds no prejudice and loves mankind equally ('For God so LOVED the World that He gave His only begotton Son . . .' Jn 3:16).

God is not 'mad' at the sins of the world. However, He is 'mad' at the sins of His Church. All too often, can see the speck in the 'sinners' eyes but fail to see the beam/plank in our own eye. That kind of 'self-righteousness' is used to drive from the Church the very people Christ called us to engage, love and serve.

According to their research and studies, Freddie and Mary Gaye come from a very long line of Ministers dating back to the Reformation, as well as government and civic leaders who positively influenced and impacted nations.

This blog does not exist to be divisive but to provoke and stimulate hearts and minds to consider and seek God and His Word for answers relevant to every issue life brings our way.

LIFE is for lifting . . . Christ and people! Can we give you a hand?!
