America is not just facing political trouble, economic pressure, or cultural confusion. We are facing a spiritual crisis. We are watching truth collapse, evil spread, families break, violence rise, and hearts grow cold. At the root of it all is this sobering reality: we have rejected the knowledge of God and turned away from His ways. Scripture says, “My people…

To be told you do not fully belong can leave a deep mark. It can shape where you feel safe, how you see yourself, and whether you believe the country’s promises were ever meant for you. America has long spoken in the language of freedom and equality, but it has also drawn lines around who gets to be seen as…

It is difficult to reconcile the language of faith with the spirit of bitterness, anger, and contempt that so often marks public and private life. A people may speak the name of Christ, invoke Scripture, and claim devotion to God, yet still harbor a posture that stands opposed to the very character of Jesus. Scripture speaks with sobering clarity on…

If America insists on speaking the name of Christ, then in 2026 it must also face the truth of what it still tolerates at the ballot box. A nation cannot call itself Christian while allowing barriers that fall hardest on people of color, maps that weaken their voice, and rules that burden their participation while pretending all is fair. This is…

How Hate Affects Individuals and Communities Racial animosity is a deeply destructive emotion that can have far-reaching consequences for both individuals and communities. In holding onto negative feelings rooted in prejudice or bias, we not only harm ourselves but also perpetuate divisions and injustices that hinder collective progress. Understanding these harmful effects is essential in fostering a more compassionate, inclusive,…

The Holy Spirit impressed two things deeply upon my spirit several years ago: “My people do not know My Word, nor do they know My ways,” and “Whatever happened to the gospel?” These are not light thoughts. They are a burden. They are a wake-up call. We are living in a time when many people in the body of Christ…

Reflecting on the Past to Shape a Better Future There is a growing trend in society to yearn for “the good old days”—a nostalgic pull toward earlier periods that are often idealized in memory. While nostalgia can bring comfort and a sense of belonging, it is crucial to recognize the risks involved when this longing ignores the realities of racism…
