We all see what is happening in our nation right now. There is hurt, anger, division, fear, and confusion all around us. Many people are tired. Many are grieving. Many are trying to find the right words to say, while others are wondering if anything will ever really change. In moments like these, it can be easy to respond the same way the world responds—with frustration, blame, silence, or…
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…
Great privilege comes with great responsibility. As believers, we have been given the privilege of knowing Christ, carrying His Spirit, and representing His Kingdom in the earth. But that privilege was never meant to stay locked inside the four walls of the church. For a long time, we have done a good job teaching people how to serve inside the…
Jeremiah 7:5–7 gives us a simple but serious message from God: change the way you are living, treat people right, stop hurting others, and turn your heart back to Him. In everyday words, God is saying, “Do not just talk about faith. Live it.” The people in Jeremiah’s day were acting religious, but they were not living right. They went…

His love reaches for us when we are broken, tired, ashamed, misunderstood, or hurting. It is patient, kind, forgiving, and full of mercy. The greatest example of that love…
Depravity begins in the heart, but healing begins when truth comes to light. Let us reject hatred, repent sincerely, and walk in the love, justice, and mercy of Jesus. Depravity means corruption. It can describe a corrupt act, a wicked practice, or a condition where evil has taken deep root. We often hear the word connected to things like the depravities…
History has a way of coming back around. As Harry S. Truman once said, “There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.” In plain words, if we refuse to learn from the past, we are likely to repeat its mistakes. America has made serious mistakes before. We have seen racism, fear, division, cruelty, and…
