It is difficult to reconcile the language of faith with the spirit of bitterness, anger, and contempt that so often marks public and private life. A people may speak the name of Christ, invoke Scripture, and claim devotion to God, yet still harbor a posture that stands opposed to the very character of Jesus. Scripture speaks with sobering clarity on…
When people look at the pain in the world—broken families, violence, greed, loneliness, corruption, and the collapse of trust—it is natural to ask, “What is wrong with us?” Jeremiah gives a direct and uncomfortable answer: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and beyond cure; who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9). In simple words, the problem is not only out…
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…
Here is a truth we hear so often that we can miss how explosive it really is: every human being is made in the image of God. That is not a soft, sentimental church phrase. It is a direct assault on every system that says some people matter more than others. It means your value is not based on IQ,…

As Acts 17:26 says, “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth.” Every person has value because every person was made by God in His image. Genesis…
“Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell…
If we are honest, the signs are all around us. We are living in a time marked by confusion, violence, deception, rebellion, and a growing hatred for what is holy and right. What many call “normal” today is often open sin before God. What many excuse as freedom is, in truth, lawlessness. The moral collapse we see in our homes,…
Faith still matters deeply in American public life, but the way it shows up in politics is changing. Many believers, especially evangelicals, are asking a big question: Should faith be tied mostly to one political party and a few hot-button issues, or should it shape a broader way of living that includes compassion, justice, truth, and care for others?
