“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 »
A Peaceful and Fruitful Life
There was a time when I thought peace came from progress—from achieving, accumulating, or arriving somewhere better than where I was. But life has a way of teaching you that true peace is not earned or engineered; it is received. It comes from knowing the One who holds your future and trusting that His hands… Read more »
The Battle for America’s Soul
When the liberal left gains control of every phase of government — the courts, the legislature, and the executive — the balance that protects liberty begins to tilt. Power gathers into one voice, one vision, one ideology. And the greatest danger is not only what they do, but that no one dares to question them…. Read more »
Builders vs. Politicians: A Different Way of Thinking
Lately there’s been a lot of talk about Governor Gavin Newsom positioning himself for a national stage. Almost every day, he tells us how bad Donald Trump has been. As a builder, I see the world differently. Builders and politicians approach problems in completely opposite ways — one focuses on results, the other on rhetoric…. Read more »
What Is True Justice?
True justice is not decided by crowds, courts, or politicians. It is not shaped by popularity, party, or power. It begins where truth lives — and when truth dies, justice soon dies with it. History and headlines tell the same story. When those in authority exchange integrity for influence, the people lose trust and the… Read more »
America’s Crisis of Leadership
In America today, we are witnessing the results of four kinds of leadership described long ago in Scripture — each with its own character, consequence, and calling. The first is what I call “Saul-leadership.” This kind of leader has power, charisma, and presence — everything that looks right on the outside — but beneath the… Read more »
Common Sense vs. Nonsense
Common Sense or Nonsense? In America today, the question is not whether we have the ability to lead, but whether we still possess common sense. Every day, decisions are being made that defy logic, reject morality, and mock truth. What used to be clear is now blurred. What was once considered right is now called… Read more »
