Politics are important, but listen to me: Politics cannot fix what politics did not break.
And Mankind was broken long before any political system.
Only a return to Jesus Christ who can reach inside the chests of men and give them new and living hearts of love, worship, and humility can save any person, any family, and any society.
Christ is the only way out of the chaos.
We can’t live in a pain-free world, as much as we would like to try. When trouble comes (and it will come), when crisis knocks at your door (and it will knock), you can either become angry at God or turn to Him and trust in Him.
Here’s your choice in life: You can become better or bitter. It’s usually one or the other. When something bad happens, you can say, “I’m mad at God. I’m bitter with God.” Okay. That’s your choice. But you can also say, “I’m going to trust in God. I’m going to cling to God.” And you will become better as a result. It’s really up to you.
Where is God in all of this?
The power of the Christian faith is not that we are spared from suffering, but that we are never alone in it.
We worship a God who entered into our pain. Jesus wept at the tomb of His friend. He bled on a cross, innocent and betrayed. He knows grief. He knows loss. And He meets us in ours not with empty words, but with pierced hands.
The cross proves God is not distant. The resurrection proves darkness does not win.
Even when everything shakes, our faith is not in our feelings. It’s in a Savior who conquered death itself. He promised, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18). That promise still holds.
So hold fast, child of God. Sorrow may last for the night, but joy (real, eternal, unshakable joy) comes in the morning. And even now, He is with you. Still working. Still loving. Still faithful.
Always.
Phil Robertson was the beginning of a new Jesus movement. His story of redemption through Jesus Christ, and the bravery he had to share it every chance he got, inspired millions. My prayers are lifted to the entire Robertson family.
Everyone of us should memorize this Psalm. Reading it aloud calms the mind and revives the spirit.
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in [b]green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.” Psalm 23: 1-6 (NKJV).
Imagine a world where we truly loved our neighbors as ourselves—where we showed up, served, and lifted each other up. That’s the kind of love that transforms communities. Let’s be the change. #LoveYourNeighbor#FaithInAction
God does extraordinary things through ordinary people. We can be used of God wherever we are. God wants to invade our ordinary lives and do something amazing. Will you say, “Not me. I’m out”? Or, will you say, “Here I am, Lord. Send me”?
It’s a strange thing to feel alone when you share a planet with more than eight billion people. Yet we all feel alone on occasion—Christians and non-Christians alike. We convince ourselves that we’re living a solitary existence, that no one notices us or cares about what we do or feel.
Psalm 94:14 reminds us that we are, in fact, not alone: “The Lord will not reject his people; he will not abandon his special possession” (NLT).
Whatever you’re facing, you’re not alone. God is with you. He walks beside you through your valley. He accompanies you through your storm.
When you are in crisis, God is not. When you are worried and anxious, God is not. When you are lost in a valley and have no idea what to do, God has not vanished. He is still the healer, the deliverer, and He is working out a plan for your life.
America is experiencing a wave of violent crime sweeping across our cities. Too often, law enforcement is understaffed, underpaid, and certainly underappreciated.
Most of the police officers I know are wonderful people who work very hard and risk their lives every day.
We should support them. The Bible says they have been placed among us by God. But they are limited in number — and doubly hampered by liberal, activist district attorneys and judges determined to set the guilty free.
Meanwhile, in our schools, we continue to teach “situational ethics.” And “Woke” https://t.co/6YMoCqgW4J other words, there is no right and wrong or black and white — just 50 shades of gray.
America stands at a crossroads today.
Peter Marshall, the former chaplain to the U.S. Senate, wrote prophetically in 1947: “The choice before us is plain: Christ or chaos. Conviction or compromise. Discipline or disintegration.”
We need to choose Christ. He is our only hope personally, and the only hope for the future of America.
