Reality L.A. (under Pastor Tim Chaddick) is a church plant of Reality Carpinteria, and is associated (but not affiliated) with the Calvary Chapel Movement. For a little over a year, Reality has has been my "church home-away-from-church-home" so to speak, as I've been seeking the LORD and continuing to lay foundation for Soul Speech Christian Church. The Holy Spirit is truly moving in this place, and especially amongst the young people (the early twenty-somethings) of the congregation.

This Is From An Event I Ministered @ About A Year Ago, Hosted By My Man "Minister Methuselah"...
Peep the written verses below...listen to the spoken word and rhymes over beats in the music player...faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ (Romans 10:17)...
"Alien Christ-form"
I'm like a brother from another planet
In this world, but not of it
A stranger in a strange land, Reppin' God's Plan
His message, His Truth, His Word,
On which I steadfastly stand
I'm like a brother from another planet
In this world, but not of it
Commanded to not love the world
Or to love anything in the world
For all that is in the world is…lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh,
And the kicker…that boastful pride of life
Braggin' about who we think we are
Or what we think we have, or what we think
We've done in our own feeble strength
Or even what we presume we will do on the morrow
And all the while, worshipping the "god" of Self
And the impotent idols of fortune and fame…bling and ching
But as for me…I'm like a brother from another planet
Because I'm in this world, but not of it
Just passing through a place that ain't hardly my home
Running a race, by Grace, through faith…
Seeking the face of Christ, at God the Father's Throne
I'm like a brother from another planet
In this world, but not of it
An extraterrestrial being uprooted from my spot
A sojourner through time and space
Looking to return to my home dimension
Beyond time and space
And no, I don't mean "the twilight zone"
A very real place, which I like to call "the soulish realm"
But rather, a place where Yahweh, where Yahushua dwells
A place called Heaven, a place called Eternity
A place called…Home
Because I'm like a brother from another planet
In this world, but not of it
But don't call me an "alien life-form"
Instead, call me…"Alien Christ-formâ€

“6th & Mainâ€
Obviously this is the dividing line
This must be the "border" dividing "realities"
As I cross 6th & Main...I struggle and strain
To understand this dividing line
It certainly is in sharp focus at this intersection
I see two sides of the same city
Literally staring one another in the face
Can you believe on one side of the street
Luxury apartments...evidence of affluence
And on the other side of the street
SRO apartments...evidence of affliction
Oh I understand the why's and wherefore's
I understand the socio-economic and political in's and out's
You see before I became a preacher
I was a member of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party
And I TAUGHT political education...
So I know all about the why's and wherefore's
And I can spit all the militant mumbo jumbo you could think of...
But at the end of the day...I'm just saddened
Because there's so much wealth
Staring at the face of so much poverty
And there's so much "Self"
Leading to souls' robbery
We live in the richest country in the world
Where now mega-church pastors
Have more bling than Hip Hop does
And still I see two sides of the same city
Staring at each other at the intersection of 6th & Main
The only real way to address it
Is to simply arrest it
And the only way to do that
Is to die to self, true dat
"Love your neighbor as yourself"
That's what the Scripture says
But that's not possible without
Heeding the first and greatest commandment...
"Love the LORD your God..."
Do we love Him? Do we know Him?
I wonder as I cross the intersection of 6th & Main
Yahshua is THE Way, THE Truth, & THE Life
Only through faith in Him can we shine light
Through this darkness we see so clearly
At the intersection of 6th & Main
