Have you asked God that question ever in your life? "God, I thought you said this thing was going to happen. When is it coming to pass? When will your promise be made full? When will I see the dream that you gave me? When will healing come? When will my marriage be changed? When will I get married? When will my kids be changed?" There seems to be so many things we're always asking for God to do, but he assures us that if it's in his plan, it is yet for the appointed time. #jadaedwards #questioninggod #urbanfaith #urbanfaithstudy

Now many black people, including myself, feel the pressure to code switch, depending on what environment that you're in. I've certainly felt it. And as a preacher and as a black preacher, I've felt the urge to step up my vocabulary and get a little bit hoity-toity and act a certain way. Your job is to have the confidence and the calmness to be the person that God created you to be. #wonderfullymade #godscreation #urbanfaith #urbanfaithstudy
Rev Jeremy L Williams
Is that when you transform those worries and stop looking at them as problems, but transform them into prayers. And the difference between worrying and praying is who you address your attention to. See, worrying, you focus on the problem, and you pointed at yourself. But prayer, you take the attention off yourself and off the situation, and you refocus it on God. And that's good news. Not because you should just throw stuff on God, but it's good news because the stuff you thought that you could take care of, you find out you can't. And rather than you worrying about it, it makes better sense to put it in the hands of someone who can actually handle it. #stopworrying #jeremylwilliams #urbanfaith #urbanfaithstudy

"People are complicated, man. Now that's just the way it is. Somebody said, "Show me your friends and I'll show you your future." If your friends are shaking, your future is going to be shaking." Booker T. Washington said this, he said, "Character, not circumstances, make the man." And too often, we look at what people have or what they can do, and that's how we choose people that we want to be around, but it's character that is the number one trait you look for in friends." #jeraldjanuary #pastorjanuary #charactercounts #urbanfaith #urbanfaithstudy

Some of you ask how playing football can do anything to help others or advance God's purposes. As a matter of fact, as a young man, people in my church were asking that question as my football career developed, not openly, but I could hear the whispers that I was wasting my time, or worse, that I couldn't play football and belong to God at the same time. That was hard for me to hear, and I know the comments you have heard in your life might be discouraging as well. Sooner or later, all of us start asking ourselves, what are my skills? How am I supposed to use them? What does God want me to do with my life? #purpose, #spiritualgifts

Any progress when it comes to racial justice has come about through the determination of a small but committed group of individuals who chose to fight racism and get on this journey toward racial justice and stay on it. History demonstrates, and hope requires, the fundamental belief that when people of goodwill get together, they can find creative solutions to society's most pressing problems. #jemartisby #racialjustice #reconciliation #urbanfaith #urbanfaithstudy

We are so focused on doing the next Bible study and making sure that we are serving at church and making sure that we've memorized the scriptures and that we've checked off the boxes and we're doing all the right things. There's nothing wrong with that. Is that we somehow have forgotten that it's okay to appreciate the gift God gave us, that it's okay to know the gifts that he's deposited and the gifts that we have to offer to the world. It's okay to say, "You know what? This is what God has blessed me with, and this is what I can bless you with." #spiritualgifts #chrystalevanshurst #urbanfaith #urbanfaithstudy
