People are doing…
Politics can bring out strong feelings. People care deeply about their families, their communities, and the future of our country. But even when we disagree, God calls us to speak and act with respect. The Bible says, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” (Proverbs 15:1). This is a good reminder for political conversations.…

I’ve been thinking about it again lately, and I wanted to come back to it because his message still feels important today.

In the Bible, justice is not just a social value or a legal principle. It is a reflection of who God is. God is righteous, faithful, merciful, and just. So when…
When government leadership goes awry, the Bible frames it as a serious breakdown of stewardship. Leaders are not given authority merely for personal ambition, rivalry, or self-protection; they are entrusted with authority to serve the common good, uphold justice, and protect the vulnerable. When a leader becomes defiant, refuses cooperation, continually criticizes others, and elevates personal desire above the needs…
There comes a time when leaders must remember that their first responsibility is not to a party, a personality, or political power. Their first responsibility is to truth, justice, the people they serve, and the health of the nation.
