If you don’t believe in Jesus, then you better start. Why do I say that? Aside from your soul’s salvation, truly look at the world around you; the American government in particular. For the last three years it’s been a complete circus. Trump’s campaign was a nightmare for those who believe in humanity and decency….

I’m a Christian, But…
While religion is not a popular subject these days, I see some bold Christians standing up for God. As they should. However, it seems there are more detractors speaking out against Christianity with a deceptive message of love. I’ve seen so many “explanations” on what Christians should be doing from people who aren’t even trying to…
2017
What’s good A Fresh Voice fam? First off, I’d like to thank all of you for your continued support. Whether it’s providing me another perspective, or simply reading my thoughts, you guys are what keeps this blog rolling. Thank you!! Alright. Let’s get to it! This is the last day in 2017, and I’m thankful…
Middle Ground
What’s up readers? How are y’all this Christmas season? I hope you are all in good spirits! Me? I’m doing well. I’m quite amused at the moment. I’ll tell you why. I hopped on Twitter this morning to see a thread about the danger of saying Merry Christmas. The basics of it was some people…
America the Beautiful
As the 2016 Presidential Election races to the finish line, I feel like we should take a moment to reflect on the state of our country. I’ve previously written about America being one nation under God, and I received mixed reviews. I put the article up on Reddit (in the Christan subreddit might I add),…
Peace
Last night was one of those nights. Sleep eluded my grasp at every toss and turn. I’m staying in a hotel which means…….people. What I would assume were young twenty-somethings were loud. Doors were slammed. Voices were carrying on boisterously in the hallway. Sleep just didn’t want to be my friend last night. I tried…
Sunday Morning
Today is Sunday, and I can’t wait to do one thing: Praise God!! The last time I was in church was last Sunday. We had some work done on Gospel Tabernacle (cheap plug), so Pastor canceled weekly services. This was my first completely free week (Sunday-Sunday) in a very long time. I filled it with…
One Nation Under God
Once upon a time, America was a nation that honored God. On our money. In our songs. In our everyday lives. We prayed for our troops, country, government, and each other before turmoil occurred. We reverenced God so much so that people changed their behavior in front of the church building. People watched their mouths (i.e….
The Morning Routine
Monday is upon us!! I know that’s not great news for some, but it should be. Why? You have been blessed to see another morning! Sadly, we take that for granted. Most people don’t want to get out of bed. Some dread going to work. Others are sleepy. Another group may be full of life….
He That Believeth
I live in a world where I’m shunned for being a Christian. I am mocked. I am ridiculed. My intelligence is questioned. I am verbally abused. All of this because I believe in Jesus. This isn’t a surprise to me because Jesus Himself was shunned by the crowd. He was mocked, beaten, and spat on….
Boldness
Being a Christian is a bold move these days. Simply stating that you believe in Jesus Christ will have people gunning for your throat. You will quickly be told not to push your beliefs on someone else. All the while, that same person is telling you what they believe. And your supposed to accept it….
Welcomed and Loved
So, a pretty awesome deal happened to me this last week. A friend/acquaintance got in touch with me about going to church. For those that don’t know, I’ve grown up in church my whole life. If you are a regular reader here at A Fresh Voice (AFV), then you know I’m saved. I will shout…
