My heart is heavy when I think about how many sincere Christians have placed so much hope in people, political parties, and movements that promise to protect faith but may slowly pull our hearts away from Christ. I believe many who are drawn to Christian nationalism truly want to honor God and defend what they believe is right. But love…
Billy Graham saw something many people are still arguing about today: faith can be a powerful force for good, but it can also be misused when it becomes tied too closely to political power. In 1981, Graham warned, “I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious…
The God we serve is not made by human hands (Acts 17:24). He is not a statue, an idea, or a story people invented. He is the one true and living God. He was here before anything else existed, and everything we see was made by Him. He put the stars in the sky and filled the sea with fish.…
There is a difference between bringing faith into public life and using faith as a weapon. The gospel has always carried public implications: it calls people toward truth, mercy, justice, humility, repentance, and love of neighbor (Micah 6:8; Matthew 22:37–40).

Truth has a way of reaching the conscience when it is spoken plainly, honestly, and before God. Truth Does…

Joshua’s words, “Choose this day whom you will serve,” have always struck me as both a challenge and an invitation. They are not the words of a leader forcing obedience from a people; they are the words of a faithful servant of God placing the truth plainly before them. Service to God cannot be reduced to habit, tradition, or outward…
How the search for God shapes our choices, our courage, and our everyday faith The Inner Battle That Shapes Us Have you ever surprised yourself—by your courage one day and your fear the next? One moment you feel steady in faith. The next, discouragement, pride, fear, or exhaustion pulls you somewhere you never meant to go. That is the battle…
