📌 IT'S TIME TO MAN UP

Growing up, there was a popular phrase I heard over and over again:

"The Devil made me do it."

Comedian Flip Wilson made it famous, and before long it became a convenient excuse for almost anything people did wrong.

Fast forward to today, and not much has changed.

We live in a culture where accepting responsibility for our actions is becoming as rare as the proverbial "hen's teeth." Everyone wants someone else to blame—a parent, a spouse, society, politics, their upbringing, their circumstances, or even the devil himself.

But sooner or later, every one of us must face a difficult truth:

Right is still right, and wrong is still wrong.

Thankfully, God did not leave moral truth up to public opinion, political trends, or personal preferences. He established it in His Word. The Bible remains the standard by which we measure our thoughts, words, actions, and motives.

The real issue isn't what others are doing.

The real issue is what am I doing?

Before we point fingers at Washington, Hollywood, the media, our neighbors, or even the devil, perhaps we should take a long look in the mirror.

As my daughter often says, "It's time to man up."

It's time to own our mistakes.
It's time to repent where we've failed.
It's time to stop making excuses and start making changes.

The old spiritual said it best:

"It's not my brother, nor my sister, but it's me, O Lord, standing in the need of prayer."

Revival begins when responsibility begins.

📖 "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God." — Romans 14:12

  🎉 A Birthday, A Ministry, A Mission: 67 Years of Life & 28 Years of Service 🎉 This Sunday, August 17 , I’ll be celebrating my 67th birthday —a milestone that fills my heart with gratitude to God. 🎂 But this celebration is more than candles on a cake; it represents a life poured out in service to Christ and to others. For 28 years of ministry , the Lord has given me the privilege of preaching, teaching, encouraging, and serving people across nations. For 21 years , my family and I ministered in Italy , where we saw God’s hand at work in ways that humbled us daily. Today, our journey has brought us to the Philippines , where we continue to serve as missionaries—bringing the light of Christ to communities that desperately need hope. 🌍 As I look back, I see God’s faithfulness in every step of the way. And as I look forward, I see opportunities—big opportunities—for impact, outreach, and transformation. 🌟 Why This Birthday Is Different This year, instead of asking for g...

  📚 Blogspot.com Blog Post Title: Educated But Lost: What Are We Really Learning in Today’s Classrooms? Link: pomitaly.homestead.com "There is no fool like an educated fool." My grandmother used to say that often. Back then, it sounded harsh—maybe even confusing. But as the years passed and the culture shifted, I began to see just how prophetic her words were. We live in an age of advanced degrees and empty hearts. Knowledge is abundant, but wisdom is scarce. Schools boast record-high enrollment, but biblical values are at an all-time low. And tragically, many of today’s educational institutions—public schools, secular colleges, and yes, even some so-called Christian universities—have abandoned truth in favor of ideology. They don’t educate; they indoctrinate. 📉 From Education to Indoctrination Modern education has drifted from equipping young minds with knowledge to conditioning them with agendas. The curriculum has become riddled with ideologies that are: ...

  🕊️ Why Should You — or Shouldn’t You — Attend Church? I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by the rhythms of church life. From Sunday School and Vacation Bible School to revival meetings, baptisms, and Bible studies — I’ve seen the full spectrum of what it means to “go to church.” Church has been a regular part of my routine, my upbringing, and my community for as long as I can remember. But here’s the truth: It wasn’t until I surrendered my heart and life to Jesus Christ at the age of 14 that I truly understood the biblical reason for going to church. 🙋‍♂️ So Why Do We Go to Church? Some people go because they’re trying to check the box. Others go because they feel guilty if they don’t. Some just need a little spiritual boost to get through the week. But none of those are the right reasons. Yes, Hebrews 10:25 reminds us: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the...
