As I think about America, I often wonder whether we are truly as divided as we are told. Everywhere we turn, someone is shouting, arguing, accusing, or demanding to be heard. But when people stop talking long enough to listen, something surprising happens—walls fall, truth rises, and unity becomes possible. In a nation drowning in… Read more »

Life presses in on us from every side. We move through our days surrounded by noise, pressure, distraction, and constant pursuit. Yet one question pierces through all of it with unrelenting force: Why am I here, why did God place me in this exact moment, in this generation, in this time in history? This is… Read more »

Today I saw an athlete wearing a hat with the word GOAT across the front—Greatest Of All Time. It made me stop and wonder what greatness really is. We often think greatness belongs only to the talented or the exceptional, but no one becomes great by themselves. Every great life is shaped by the sacrifices… Read more »

Yesterday afternoon I watched a movie called Troll. In the first scene, a father was climbing a mountain with his young daughter. When they reached the top, he pointed across the Troll mountains and told her the old stories—how the peaks were shaped like sleeping giants.

Proverbs 28:2 warns us plainly: “When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily.” Moral rot begins the moment people turn away from the true God and follow their own desires. It does not show itself suddenly. It starts softly—through small compromises, ignored convictions, and replaced truths. But as a nation pushes… Read more »

Those words rise in me every morning at four o’clock. I never set an alarm, yet this hour continues to call me awake. What once felt like a disturbance has become something sacred. This is the moment when the world is silent and the weight of life presses heavily on my heart. It is the… Read more »

Jesus showed compassion by going to people. He stepped into their streets, entered their homes, and walked into their pain. He met them where they lived. He did not demand that Israel rewrite its laws to make His mission easier, and He never asked Rome to open its borders. His compassion was action, not political… Read more »
