God created the world with beauty, order, goodness, and purpose. Everything He made was meant to reflect His love, wisdom, and glory (Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:31). People were created to know God, walk with Him, care for His creation, and live in peace with one another (Genesis 1:26–28). But when sin entered the world, it damaged what God had made…
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…
Faith does not grow because we have everything figured out. Faith grows when we finally stop trying to carry everything on our own and place our lives in God’s hands.

Christian nationalism can be hard to make sense of because it uses the language of Christianity to support ideas and actions that often do not reflect the heart of the gospel. That is what makes it so perplexing. It becomes even more concerning when its beliefs and behavior are placed next to biblical truth. When we compare political ideology with…
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…
Why Biblical Wisdom Is Essential for Healing Division and Conflict A people who turn away from God do not drift into peace—they drift into confusion, conflict, and ruin. Introduction We are watching the cost of spiritual ignorance unfold before our eyes. As truth is pushed aside, confusion deepens, hearts grow harder, and division spreads through homes, churches, communities, and nations. What many…
Have you ever been absolutely sure you were right, only to realize later you were completely off? I have—and that is one reason this passage stays with me.
