It’s Black History Month and I’ve decided to write an article, not because I want to, but because I’m black.

It's that time of the year when stores, social media posts and advertisements remind us that it is Valentine’s Day.
While Valentine's Day can be a special day to celebrate with your significant other, would it be a ludicrous idea to have a "Love Yourself Day?" A Love Yourself Day would remind...
Being single doesn’t mean you have to be miserable on Valentine’s Day.
As someone who is single more often than not, I have accepted the fact that until I am in a serious relationship, I obviously won’t be participating in the traditional Valentine’s Day customs. However, that doesn’t...

It can be quite a challenge to come up with the perfect date, but ladies and gentlemen, I have got you...

For example, the Bible was not written in hopes of accommodating Roman myths and legends. Catholicism was certainly not established with Islam in mind....
The mass shooting in San Bernardino on Dec. 2 that left 14 dead and more than a dozen wounded was horrific. Just like the last shooting. And the shooting before that. And the one at the theatre. And the one at the elementary school.
You do realize what’s happening, right? The more...
If God was responsible for nature, and nature is responsible for all living things – Wouldn’t Nature itself be God?
Regardless of your faith, we can all agree that “God” is “Truth,” right? And if God is the center of most religions, it’s contradicting for more than...
My dad is an international preacher known for having miracles happen at his events. So growing up there was never a question as to whether miracles can happen. It was always just a fact that they do.
Like most people, as I got older I began to question the beliefs that I had been taught;...
Rounding the final lap of my undergraduate career--a journey that has taken me across three universities, two majors and one life-defining change-of-heart--I often find myself on the campus grounds, as my night classes draw to a close, thanking my God for all He has done to bring me this...
