Many protesters do not want to debate groups like Turning Point USA because debate requires them to explain their ideas clearly. When a person is confident in their beliefs, they are willing to talk, listen, and answer questions. But when someone is unsure of how strong their ideas really are, debate feels frightening. It can… Read more »

Choose Today Whom You Will Serve
Every generation stands at a crossroads — a moment when truth and deception stare one another in the face, demanding a choice. We have reached that moment again. The line is drawn not with ink or law, but with conviction. “Choose today whom you will serve.” Those who choose the way of the Lord do… Read more »
The Illusion
I recently watched a film about the Nuremberg Trials, and as the story unfolded, I felt a heaviness settle over me. Today, people casually compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler, but that comparison collapses the moment you examine what each man actually promised. Hitler rose by speaking to a nation that was wounded, humiliated, and… Read more »
Standing Firm When Life Throws a Curve
This past week, life threw me a curveball. Anyone who has ever stood in a batter’s box knows the moment—the pitcher winds up, the ball comes flying straight toward you, and for an instant it appears it will strike you in the chest. Every natural instinct tells you to jump back and protect yourself. But… Read more »
Polluted Fountains – Fighting with God’s Truth
Proverbs 25:26 (NLT) — “If the godly give in to the wicked, it’s like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring.” “The world suffers not because of the violence of bad people, but because of the silence of good people.” — Martin Luther King Jr. The news outlets are glowing with pride over the latest… Read more »

It told the story of two elderly men—lifelong friends—who had planned one last fishing trip to their old cabin. Just days before they were to leave, the star of the show received heartbreaking news that… Read more »
When Discipline Died
“When King David heard what had happened, he was very angry.” — 2 Samuel 13:21 King David was furious over his son’s sin, but he did nothing. He kept his anger to himself and never brought correction. His silence opened the door to rebellion and tragedy in his family. The same silence is destroying our… Read more »
The Glory Hidden in Suffering
I know so many young people who are suffering through sickness—some facing battles that seem too heavy to bear. I wish I had the power to take that sickness away from them. At times, I even feel guilty for not having to carry the same burden myself. As I prayed for them, I kept asking… Read more »
The Politics of Dependency
“Republicans are taking food away from children to give tax cuts to billionaires.” Those were the words from former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office — a soundbite crafted to inflame emotion rather than inform truth. It is the kind of rhetoric that wins headlines but loses honesty. No policy under President Trump, or any recent Republican… Read more »
The Illusion of Fairness
I recently watched an interview with several college students who were asked a simple question: would you rather live under capitalism or communism? Almost every one of them answered communism. Their reasoning seemed noble enough—they said that under communism everyone would be cared for, and the government would make sure no one was left behind…. Read more »
