What Are You Willing To Die For?
What Are You Willing To Die For? Happy Good Friday from Derek J. Murphy!
Pastor and church culture analyst, D.K. Hammonds wrote that Good Friday represents someone being “committed to a cause when others are not”. Jesus was so committed to you that He endured the most gruesome and horrible death known to man in that day. He saw something in you, YES YOU, that He had to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Only God Can Judge Me
"...no one likes a judgmental person." CHECK OUT MY NEW BLOG, "Only God Can Judge Me" http://wp.me/p1iqqz-ux
Thanks to Tupac Amaru Shakur, we have an entire generation of people who use this single phrase to justify their poor behavior and bad decisions: “ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME.” To be sure, no one likes a judgmental person. By definition, someone who is judgmental is one who is excessively critical, offering opinions where none were asked or needed. To subjugated to the small, narrow view of one who has…

Overlooked Factors Of Success
Overlooked Factors Of Success
Unfortunately, we tend to devalue our success by looking at the success of others. I don’t like to think that there are “levels” to success, but instead, people experience different types of success. If we don’t use this idea and model for measuring success, it can become a dangerous game, that no one wins, when we begin to compare. Success will always be celebrated, studied, and modeled, but…

Love Isn't Sexy
Love Isn’t Sexy
Movies, TV, the stages of life known as social media have all duped us. (In my strong Mount Vernon accented voice) We have been tricked, hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run a muck! We have been offered and full willing to drink the Kool-aid (let me see if I can think of any more …. nah … I’m good). We have been fed the image of sexiness being linked with love, and we have fallen for it hook,…

Ooo ... You Cheated
Check out my first blog post of the year, "Ooo ... You Cheated!" I pray it is a bit of encouragement and blessing for you, and feel free to like, comment and share this to bless someone else! #buildingppl
I’ve only had one fight. EVER! It was 1985 at the brand new 15th Street School. I was a kindergartener playing kickball with my friends on the play ground, and I was accused of cheating. Of course I didn’t cheat at all, but the accusation was hurled at me, because some kid didn’t like the outcome. (more…)

Johnson vs The Church: 5 Things About Church Respectability Politics
Sooo.... everybody has something to say about Leandria Johnson. Welp; so do I. Check out my latest blog, Johnson vs The Church: 5 Things About Church Respectability Politics, and be encouraged. #buildingppl
Last week the black church world was in yet another uproar due to Facebook Live. In this installment, infamous gospel, Leandria Johnson goes on a smoke filled rant that included some content worthy of a Parental Advisement sticker. She goes in on the ecclesiastical establishment about hypocrisy, elitism, and the damage it causes people; punctuating her complaints with strong stiff “f*** you” to…

Us VS Them
Check out my latest blog post, Us VS Them! #iwrite #inspiration #motivation #encouragement, #buildingppl
The pervasive concept of “us vs. them” is the basis of racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and in the words of Pastor Shirley Caesar, YOU NAME IT! While it can be fun to participate in simple sports rivalries, or debate who’s greek organization is the best, the hurtful nature of exclusivity does far more damage than people realize. (more…)

Who Are You? (The Respect Fallacy)
If you're like me and find that common decency ain't so common, check out my latest blog, WHO ARE YOU? (The Respect Fallacy) #inspiration #motivation #encouragement #buildingppl
There is this notion that “respect must be earned.” I’ve heard this all of my life and have pretty much always fallen in line with that thinking. However, the older I get the more I realize that this is NOT the way things should be. The english language is tricky because we tend to use a singular word to describe multiple things. Most people will say the word “respect” in exchange for the word…

 God is an infinite and all powerful being. He is far too big and complex for any mind to fully understand, so it would be arrogant of anyone, including me, to say they know the mind of God. We cannot fully comprehend Him, we can only know what God has revealed. (more…)

I haven’t completely figured out the official cutoffs, but it’s generally accepted that I am a late Generation X’er. There are many things that differentiate us from other generations but I believe one of the greatest differences is that we are a passion driven generation. Before us, the Baby Boomers and the Silent Generations were all focused on potential. To this day, Boomers are concerned that…

People come and people go; that’s just the way life works. We are living in a generation that is slowly getting back to understanding the power of connection. Yes we have personal responsibility, but we are also better together. With this longing for relationship and the fulfillment that comes from them, there is also the reality that every relationship comes to an end. (more…)

Here's a little something to think about ... SOCIAL MEDIA MATURITY! Check it out and be encouraged! Like, comment and share to encourage someone else! #motivation #encouragement #buildingleaders #buildingbrands #buildingppl
I work with elementary school kids, first through fourth grade. At these ages kids aren’t just learning their ABC’s and 123’s, but they are also learning social behaviors and how exist outside of the world that the know: which is home. Their immaturity is evident in their behavior, which is routinely excused with these words: “they’re just little kids.”
I understand this fact but the schoolhouse…

 Everybody wants a hook up nowadays. Internet stars seem to be born every minute, and everyone becoming an entrepreneur or building a brand. One of the most effective ways to market yourself in this climate is to hitch yourself to a big name, so you can be associated with a known figure. The right co-sign for someone who is already…

Two Things That Make Ministry Hard
Please check out my latest blog post: "TWO THINGS THAT MAKE MINISTRY HARD." If you are a preacher, pastor, or minster, I hope this blesses you! #beencouraged #buildingppl
The three words I have often uttered to describe where I am in my ministerial career: “ministry is hard”. Lately, I’m coming to learn that these words may actually be “full of it”. While it is true, for me at least, the ministry was not a career move. I never chose ministry: ministry chose me. I do it because I am truly compelled to, and I feel it is my God-given calling to mainly teach, then…

So ….
Twitter has announced that, effective immediately, they are expanding their character limits by two times. In other words, instead of a 140 characters limit, it has been bumped up to 280 characters. I must admit, as a content creator I LOVE this new expanded freedom! There are thoughts I want to share, but just can’t figure out the way to squeeze into 140 characters. I’m excited! (more…)
