This week people were shocked to hear the disturbing news about a popular music mogul. On the surface, he was a respectful businessman. However, we must get to know people on different levels. That is why God created us all with the need for connection. God understands the need for community. We need to connect regularly with other people who know us. Business connections Friends Family Intimate relationships We don’t just need these connections during the holidays. When God created... Read more

Over the last decade, social media has exploded in popularity. The pandemic only increased the use of this means of communicating and connecting with others. Communication is a basic human function. We all have a need to be connected to others or something. Politics is a means for people to connect and support others who share the same beliefs. Republicans are supposed to be the party of the people. Traditional Hard-working Honest Recently the... Read more

This week the conservative clown show continued. This week’s GOP debate displayed just how dysfunctional the party has become. The arguing dominated, even without the so-called party leader. For someone who claims to be the best-qualified candidate for the job, the former president has failed again at showing any sign of true leadership. He talks a good game but doesn’t back it up with actions. Remember the cliché, “All politicians are crooks”? Words that distract us from the truth are... Read more

As I woke up this morning, the big news was about the election results for 2023. These are important because they are an indicator of what is in store for national elections next year. Once again the GOP continues to lose ground and political power. Many Americans have become tired of the twisted actions of the conservative party. Lies Greed Power-hungry Again, it’s important for God’s people to remember we are to be different from the world and its beliefs... Read more

This week conservative politics suffered another black eye. A Controversial Senator under indictment for numerous crimes was almost expelled from the Republican Party. He was spared by members who claim to be Christians. It is also been celebrated that the new house speaker is a professing Christian. Christian beliefs are popular amongst conservative politicians; however, few are willing to actually practice the Christian faith. Don’t bear false witness Be generous Honor thy father and mother Do not commit adultery The problem... Read more

As I write this post Americans are celebrating two occasions, Reformation Day and Halloween. Many will choose not to celebrate the latter because of religious beliefs. Yet, a select number of others choose to celebrate Reformation Day. Protestants Some Catholics Calvinists Lutherans These are primary faiths in America and Europe. It was Martin Luther who said, “Faith is not a human act but rather (a) an act of God.” It seems faith is more complicated than many people believe. ... Read more

Recently, Taylor Swift achieved billionaire status thanks in part to her concert/movie. Her success is due to the unwavering support of her faithful fans who follow her no matter what. Her tribe of “Swifties” has placed her on a pedestal that few people in this life will achieve. I get it; every generation has an icon. Below are a few of my childhood heroes that I looked up to, gave money to, and admired. Debbie Gibson Tiffany Richard Marx Pelé... Read more

This week corruption continues to be exposed in Congress as conspiracy theories and the power struggle continues to grow here and in the Middle East. More people are bowing to the gods of this world. Money Power Pleasure Selfishness Gods are wherever we focus our resources, time, and energy (Isaiah 44:9- 20). Often what we value the most becomes our god. Not much has changed since God freed his people from Egypt. We tend to listen to whatever makes... Read more

As the fighting around the world and in Congress continues, this week saw a few rays of hope. Ukraine is making advances against Russia. Israel is nearing a ground attack against Hamas terrorists. And here at home, the Civil War among conservative politicians has eased. There is a clear line drawn between good and evil around the world.

As I write this the Middle East is riddled with war and death. Israel is seeking revenge for the recent ungodly attacks against its people. The US Embassy in Lebanon has been burned in protests to America’s support of Israel. Iran is threatening both Israel and America in response to the attacks on Hamas, the region is under spiritual attack as normal. Each side believes they are right and the other is wrong. It is the age-old battle between two... Read more
