  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

Spiritual Platform

When you have a strong platform in life, you will have success in business.

A spiritual platform, is a strong foundation for life, health and strength. It is a  foundation where YOU are leaning on the LORD for sustenance. We all need the Lord to sustain us in everything that we do AND say.

How do you develop a strong spiritual platform? Find out where you are in Christ and what you are missing. We all are missing something in our spiritual lives and still need direction. Just because we go to church twelve times a week and are in all the ministries doesn't mean we are working effectively for the LORD or allowing the LORD to work effectfively in our lives.

 Below, I am going to give you a few suggestions that will help you develop a strong spiritual platform.

  • Start your day with prayer --get connected with the Lord at the beginning of the day.
  • Thank God daily for the good and the bad 
  • Study Proverbs daily for one month (I started this today, starting with Proverbs 12)
  • Fellowship with people that have a connection with the Lord and will tell you what you NEED to hear, not what you want.
  • Read books about spiritual prosperity from well known Pastors/Evangelists/Missionaries
  • Study your bibles in the morning with your prayer and in the evening at the end of the day.

 

These suggestions above are not complete to your walk with God; they are just suggestions.  They can be adjusted to how the spirit directs you.  You have to choose to better your life starting with your spiritual platform. A strong spiritual platform will help your business and life success!
