How we treat people is not a small thing to God. It is not just about being “nice” or having good manners. The way we speak to people, help people, forgive people, and show love to people says a lot about what is going on in our hearts. Jesus taught us to treat others the way we want to be…
Opening Scripture Reading: “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.” — Matthew 7:12 “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” — Luke 6:31 The church and the nation needs healing. We have been through too much bitterness, anger, fear, and division to pretend that everything is fine. Healing will not…
America doesn’t need more division — America needs a shared purpose. We hear a lot about the Republican agenda and the Democrat agenda. But maybe it’s time we ask a bigger question: what about an American agenda? Not an agenda for one party. Not an agenda that divides neighbors, families, and communities. An agenda for all Americans — the people…
Christian spirituality is not just about feeling close to God for ourselves. It is not meant to make us selfish, proud, or so focused on our own growth that we forget people around us. Real Christian spirituality turns our hearts toward God, and then it turns our eyes outward toward the world God loves. The Christian life begins with God’s…
When the Bible says, “God is love,” it invites us to pause and look at God’s heart (1 John 4:8, 16). This is not just a beautiful phrase for a card or a wall. It is a truth meant to steady our souls. Love is not something God shows only when we are doing well. Love is part of who…
After reading about what people in Cuba are going through, my heart is with the families dealing with daily blackouts, medicine shortages, and not enough food. When electricity keeps going out, it is not just an inconvenience—it means food spoils, water systems fail, hospitals struggle, and sick people can’t get the care they need. No matter what anyone thinks about…
A nation is strongest when every person feels seen, respected, and valued. That kind of strength does not come from slogans, public promises, or inspiring words alone. It comes from the daily choices we make about how we treat one another, whose voices we listen to, and whether we are willing to care about people whose experiences may be different…
What if the greatest proof of our Christianity is not how loudly we worship, how much Scripture we can quote, or how faithfully we attend church—but how deeply we love people? What if heaven is not only listening to our songs, but also watching our conduct? In a generation that knows how to argue, divide, and withdraw, the Spirit of…
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…
