When Words and Actions Don’t Match Lately, I find myself wrestling with a tough question: Why does it seem like this administration is so comfortable with telling outright lies, even when the truth is clear to see? I want to understand it, genuinely, because the truth matters to me, and I believe it should matter to all of us. What…
A biblical warning for the church: honor rightful authority, pray for leaders, but never confuse the state with the throne of God. The Bible does not treat government as ultimate, and neither should the church. God allows rulers to rise, gives authority its limits, and holds every leader accountable for what they do with power. Scripture says, “There is no authority except…
Rededication may sound righteous, but without obedience to God’s Word, it is only empty symbolism—and as a nation, if we claim to be “one nation under God,” then our lives, our laws, and our actions must prove that our allegiance is more than words. God is not moved by words alone, but by obedience. Rededication is a serious word because…
When power twists the lines, justice is denied Gerrymandering is not just politics as usual. It is the deliberate redrawing of voting lines so that those in power can keep power. For far too long, this has been used to weaken the voices of Black communities and block them from choosing leaders who truly represent them. That is not fairness.…
A brief reflection on division, public trust, and the future we are shaping together “Be not deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” — Galatians 6:7 I do not think I am alone in feeling that this season in our public life has become unusually heavy.

We are hearing more debate about religion in public life, but underneath that debate is something even deeper: many people no longer share the same understanding of what it means to follow Christ. And when the meaning…
What do we do when the words we have always believed in no longer seem to match what we see around us? That question has been on my heart lately as I think about the phrase “one nation under God.” It is a beautiful idea—one that points to unity, justice, and shared responsibility. But if we are honest, the gap…
Why good leadership matters—yesterday, today, and always Let’s break down the proverb, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan” (Proverbs 29:2), in a way that makes sense for everyone—not just biblical scholars. The Heart of the Proverb At its core, this proverb is saying something simple but powerful: when…
Let’s be honest: power is hard to resist. It promises control, respect, influence, and the feeling that you matter. That is why people chase it in politics, at work, at home, and online. But here is the catch: the harder you chase power, the easier it is to lose yourself in the process. What starts as ambition can turn into…
