A Spiritual Checkup: What are you feeding yourself?

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:8

What are you letting into your home, heart and soul through the televisions shows you watch and the music you listen to every day and every week?

Is their theme murder, adultery, lying, sex, perversion, homosexuality, misogyny? Is there anything uplifting or praiseworthy? Or does it glorify deceit? Does it feed your soul or your flesh?

What images are you letting into your mind that will replay all day? What beat and lyrics are in your ear?

Does it glorify God? What is your daily diet? Your weekly diet?

Do you spend more time on Facebook than in God’s book?

What are you feeding yourself?

Is it more God’s Word or the world?

How is it affecting your spiritual health?

God’s Kingdom or man’s Empire?

God’s power or man’s Power?

The Way, The Truth and the Life or a “real” fake housewife?

God’s unfailing love or Love and Hip Hop?

The Great I Am or I Am Cait?

Keeping up with a lie and reality tv that’s not real?

Eating what the world has to offer or the whole roll of God?

You are what you eat. Are you eating a healthy, balanced diet or a bunch of junk?

A Place of Encouragement, Englightenment and Edification

At the Well is a place where you can come and draw from the well of God's word and receive encouragement, enlightenment and edification to make it through this journey called life. On At the Well, you will find regular devotionals that include application to help you not only be a hearer of the Word but also a doer. Our regular feature, "Turning Point" features testimonies of men and women who, like the Samaritan woman, have had life-changing encounters with the Savior. The "View from the Well" section features information and articles on subjects from politics and finances to health and relationships. It also includes essays, opinion pieces and thought-provoking questions.

Maafa Remembrance

This stained glass window is located in the New Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church on Chicago's West Side. The window is based on a painting by Tom Feelings entitled ''Maafa Remembrance.'' Maafa, a Swahili word pronounced may-AH-fah, means unspeakable horror and is used to refer to the horrors of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, just as Holocaust is used to refer to the deaths of millions of Jews at the hands of the Nazis.

The ship is personified in the Christlike figure of an African man. His muscular, chain-draped arms are outstretched. His body, from his torso to his calves, is the pit of a ship, drifting across the Atlantic Ocean with a cargo of men and women, sardine-packed and bound for slavery.
