A Christian Perspective on Power, Partisanship, and the American People 

Have you ever turned on the news and wondered, “Are our leaders more concerned about winning political fights than helping regular people?” Many Americans feel that way. When important decisions get stuck in endless arguments, families are left waiting for answers, relief, and real solutions.  Why Does This Happen?  Politics in America often feels like it has become more about…

When the Mouth Says “Christian,” but the Heart Says Something Else

“These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” — Isaiah 29:13 It is possible to know the right Christian words and still have a heart that is not close to God.
