Think On These Things By Reverend Juanita G. Wingo Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23
Guard your heart for out of it comes what happens in your life. Keep watch over the thoughts, dreams, visions, and desires of your heart for actions come out of it that will affect you and the people in your life. What you want will happen. Be careful. What you desire will come to pass. Be careful. In a moment, you can think something that will have great consequences. Be careful. Things can get tricky when dealing with the heart. The heart is deceitful. It can deceive you into thinking that things will be all right when reality says they won’t. The heart will deceive you into believing that people are against you when they aren’t. The heart can deceive you into wanting what you cannot have. The heart can deceive you into denial and making excuses when you should face obstacles head on. When presented with hardship, disappointment or disaster, the heart can make you think things you will regret. What you let enter your heart will affect everything you do. Every negative, destructive, harmful thought you allow in your heart will determine what you do and what happens to you. If you wish someone harm, that person could get hurt. If you think murderous thoughts, someone could die. Be careful with your heart. It affects everything you do – how you treat people, how you respond to people, how you live. Stand guard over your heart. Keep out what can do damage. Don’t let what is in your heart hurt yourself or anyone else. Power Magazine n June 2015

THE CHURCH TEA
FATHERHOOD
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. John 14:18 (NIV) In 2014, Bishop Abraham Shanklin along with wife Pastor Ingrid Shanklin of New Life Fellowship International Ministries founded The Center of Transformation, located in Hanover, Maryland. The church recently hosted author R. C. Blakes, Jr., who provided wisdom from his book entitled “The Father Daughter Talk”. This book is an absolute must read as it explores the disintegration of female dignity, values and morals. Our girls today are bombarded with the glorification of video vixens, degrading names and the acceptance of multiple partners! Still, our girls – our treasures – have the ability to reverse the high rate of fatherlessness by making better choices in the men they choose as mates. Equally important are our men. On Saturday, June 13, 2015, from 8:30am to 4:00pm, New Life Fellowship International Ministries and The Coalition of Ministries to Men will sponsor “MAN UP”. For more information call 410-850-5767 or visit the website: altered4life.org. It’s great to see the church taking a stand! Last week, I witnessed a powerful event at Set The Captives Free Outreach Ministries, under the spiritual leadership of Dr. Karen Bethea. First, a film was shown – “SPIT’IN ANGER: Venom of a Fatherless Son” by Kenneth Braswell. Afterwards, a panel of therapists discussed the pain associated with the 82.3% of African American children who live in homes without
