“If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.” — often attributed to Alexander Hamilton I am an old man now, and as the years have passed, much of what once felt urgent has fallen away. What remains is simple: putting one foot in front of the other, day after day. I have learned… Read more »

There are two books in the Bible I struggle to read. One is the Song of Solomon, which I have only read a few times and never quite connected with. The other is the book of Job, and that one troubles me deeply. Job does not trouble me because it lacks faith, but because it… Read more »

History keeps exposing the same mistake. Nations do not fall because they lack resources or intelligence. They fall because they lose their priorities. Again and again, a nation pours its strength into what fades and neglects what lasts. Scripture names the problem plainly: “What is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal” (2… Read more »

Jude 1:11 (NLT) “They deceived people for money.” The future of the Church is not in doubt. Christ promised that the gates of hell would not overcome it. What is always in question is the faithfulness of the people inside it. Scripture shows that God’s work is rarely undone by open attack. It is weakened… Read more »

“Always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.” Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 3:7 read like a description of our time. We live in an age of speed and noise.

Isaiah warned of a people who would call evil good and good evil, turn light into darkness and darkness into light, excuse the guilty, punish the innocent, and reject the law of the Lord. He said sorrow would follow—not as a threat, but as the natural result of living against truth. That warning now hangs… Read more »

The first word matters most—United. It comes first because everything else depends on it. America was never built on perfect agreement, but on a shared decision to remain one people even while disagreeing. Unity was the foundation. Without it, nothing else stands. America is dividing, not because we disagree, but because we have forgotten how… Read more »

A while back, a good friend of mine died from cancer. A few days before his death, I visited him in the hospital, where he shared a dream with me—one that has stayed with me and continues to shape how I understand fear and faith. In his dream, he saw Jesus in the Garden of… Read more »

Many people know about Jesus. They have heard His name, listened to sermons, and learned stories from the Bible. They may believe He lived, taught, and died on the cross. They may even agree that everything they hear about Him is true. But knowing about Jesus is not the same as knowing Him. Knowing about… Read more »
