When a person says they are dedicating or rededicating their life to God, it should mean more than a special moment, an emotional service, or a few heartfelt words. It should mean they have truly decided to belong to God and to live in a way that pleases Him. In simple terms, dedication means saying, “Lord, I am Yours,” and…
A plainspoken case against turning national identity into a sacred cause—and against using Christianity as a path to power. How faith gets twisted into power Nationalism is not patriotism turned up louder. Patriotism can love a country while telling the truth about it. Nationalism treats the nation as supreme, divides the world into insiders and outsiders, and measures human worth…
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,…
If America insists on speaking the name of Christ, then in 2026 it must also face the truth of what it still tolerates at the ballot box. A nation cannot call itself Christian while allowing barriers that fall hardest on people of color, maps that weaken their voice, and rules that burden their participation while pretending all is fair.

Voting is more than a political process; it is a matter of human dignity, equal justice, and moral responsibility.

As protections against racial discrimination in voting are stripped away, the church must confront a hard question: will we remain silent, or will we answer God’s call to do justice and love our neighbors? Why This Matters Now In a time of deep division and growing mistrust in public life, questions about voting rights can feel complicated and distant. But…
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,…
Understanding Perspectives on Race, Religion, and Politics I’m continually amazed at how people think, especially when it comes to issues like justice and fairness. Observing conversations about race, religion, and politics, it’s clear that our perspectives are shaped by so many factors—culture, upbringing, personal experience, and the information we consume.
