Valarie D. Coleman is A God's Girl... A Kingdom Daughter and Has A GOOD NAME
Zephaniah 3:20 ( GLORY ) On that day I will gather you togetherand bring you home again.I will give you a good name, a name of distinction,among all the nations of the earth,as I restore your fortunes before their very eyes.I, the Lord, have spoken!"
A good name enables us to have a good influence on others, while a bad name causes us to have a bad influence. "Ye are the salt of the earth: but of the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house" (Matthew 5:13-16). No matter what my understanding of doctrine may be, I cannot bring others to Christ if my reputation is not what it ought to be.
A good name brings honor to Christ's church, while a bad name brings reproach upon Christ's church. "When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach" (Proverbs 18:3). Ignominy - shameful behavior. Reproach - disgrace. I cannot engage in disgraceful behavior without bringing disgrace upon the church.
Others (beside ourselves) are affected by our reputation. "The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him" (Proverbs 20:7). Your reputation is determined in part by your father's reputation, your family name. But father, we must remember, our children's reputation will be determined in part by our reputation.
TODAY........ Start to build OR re-Establish Your good name with and in CHRIST!
Live lives of integrity. "The integrity of the upright shall guide them" (Proverbs 11:3). Adherence to a "code of values."

The need for women to have a positive and fulfilling network of friends that would provide support, dedication and love. It is my desire to continue to open my heart and home to those in need. With the support and encouragement of many i created and established the sisterhood which is today an inspiration and outlet to many women.
Fellowship offers so many benefits. What better way to get to know someone better than by spending time with them in a positive environment. You will be compelled to… Continue
For those who REALLY know me have been aware that I was not a big Obama Fan.
I say Fan, but being African American, you almost have to at least "Support" him.
Yes, being African American and the world that we reside in, even the African Americans who are a tad bit off in the ways that they talk, act and all the other craziness that we ALL witness everyday.
Regardless if it is the video girls, to the black men with sagging pants..smoking blunts.. and calling women out of… Continue
As a black woman I can speak for myself saying that I am very strong willed in various areas of my life. I use to be BAD......
