Jesus gave seven statements from the cross at Calvary—each one deeply significant. What was the first statement… and why does it matter? I answer that in this short video as we enter Easter week.
I am grateful for a president willing to take bold and decisive action when it is necessary and justified. The Iranian Islamic regime posed a serious threat to Israel and other peace-seeking nations.
For believers, however, this is not a moment for celebration but for intercession. It is a time to bend the knee, not pump the fist. We must pray for our leaders and for the people of Iran.
Our leaders are well aware of the geopolitical and military realities. Yet Scripture reminds us there are deeper forces at work (Daniel 10). Behind visible conflicts often lie spiritual strongholds that shape events in ways not immediately seen.
I believe President Trump made the right decision. Still, there is more unfolding than what appears on the surface. The days ahead may be complex and demanding.
This is where the Church has a distinct and indispensable role — to stand in prayer, to seek God’s wisdom and protection, and to engage the battle in the heavenlies with spiritual discernment and steadfast faith.
The Greek word for "dwell" is Katoikēsai, which means "to inhabit" or "to make at home." Christ wants to dwell with us, to be at home with us.
"that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love" Ephesians 3:17
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23) #Alaska
Even Billy Graham had flaws. That doesn’t diminish the gospel—it magnifies grace. We don’t follow flawless men; we follow a flawless Savior who remakes flawed people.

Don’t let a lack of words keep you from praying. No matter what you’re experiencing, take it to the Lord. Give Him your sighs, your groans, your tears, your anxiety, your rage.
Even if you can muster no more than “God, please,” it’s enough for the Holy Spirit to work with. He will make your needs known to the One who can bring ultimate good from any situation.
Let's stay focused on the work in front of us, but I'll say this much for now...
JD Vance and Marco Rubio would be one of the most formidable presidential tickets ever assembled.
Okay, back to work. Onward!
A heartbreaking tragedy has unfolded in Texas.
After days of relentless rain, devastating floods have claimed the lives of at least 52 people, 15 of them children. As of now, 57 individuals are still missing. Some of the young girls who died were attending a Christian camp known as Camp Mystic when the floodwaters came.
What can you say in a moment like this?
There is no greater pain than for a parent to lose a child. That’s not theory for me—it’s personal. Our son Christopher was unexpectedly called home to Heaven 16 years ago, and the grief still runs deep.
Sometimes the most honest and comforting thing you can say is simply,
“I’m so sorry. There are no words.”
As Christians, we can be quick to try to explain the unexplainable. But I’ve learned that when I don’t know why, I pivot back to Who.
And by “Who,” I mean—Who do we turn to in moments like this?
We must turn to God. He is our ultimate source of strength.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
—Psalm 34:18
To those grieving parents, I would say this:
Your child is safely in the arms of Jesus in Heaven.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
—Matthew 19:14
And if you have put your faith in Christ, you will see them again.
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout… and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them… and thus we shall always be with the Lord.”
—1 Thessalonians 4:16–17
Your children are not only part of your past—they are also part of your future.
So yes, mourn. Grieve.
Cry your heart out.
And cry out to God—He will be there for you.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
—Psalm 46:1
Let’s continue to pray for the first responders still searching for the missing—and for the families facing unthinkable sorrow.
Lord, be near.
“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” — Matthew 1:21 NIV

Over the past week, I’ve completely lost my joy over recent events that triggered so much trauma from October 7th. The world has turned so indifferent and apathetic in the face of so much evil and death. The lives of many have definitely grown cold, and world governments are run by evil people with secret interests and motives. My lack of joy disturbed my spirit, which caused me to go back to scripture and see that oftentimes we must command our souls to rejoice and bless the Lord. Both Philippians 4:4 and Psalm 103:1-2 were written in the imperative mood, and in both cases, they repeat their respective commands. In Philippians, it is about rejoicing in the Lord, and in Psalm, it is about blessing the Lord. Our natural tendency is to focus on mankind, thus we fall into sadness and then forget about God’s goodness. May God help us all to command our souls daily to stay joyful and thankful!
‘Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!’ (Philippians 4:4)
‘Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.’ (Psalm 103:1-2)
Physical injuries may heal, but what about the abuse of the soul? How do you recover from that? Let the word of God soothe and comfort you. He wants you in heaven with Him and will make every wrong right in the end. @RealJackHibbs
“There’s the devil’s kingdom and there’s God’s kingdom, and you have the right to make a choice which one you want to be in.” –@BillyGraham#WednesdayWisdom
In just 43 days, President Trump has ignited a monumental revival of the American spirit. With unwavering veracity, @POTUS spoke directly to the American people, delivering a message of strength, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to the well-being of us all.
May God continue to guide his hand as he leads the fight to restore our nation and give every citizen the country they deserve.
Georgia’s U.S. Senators voted to allow men to dominate women’s sports - even after seeing the injuries and the invasion of girls’ locker rooms. Disgusting.
I've written this a couple times and deleted it, but here it goes...
I live in Western North Carolina.
I watched Joe Biden hand out billions of dollars to Ukraine.
Yet, nearly every single day here, we would get calls from families with young kids who lost their homes, begging for shelter.
During those months, I truly lost all hope.
I watched BILLIONS of dollars go out the door to another country's war, while we were driving RVs to KIDS AND THEIR PARENTS living in tents, garages, a tool sheds.
You will never convince me that Ukraine deserved billions while American citizens in Western North Carolina had to beg each other for help.
Unless you lived through that experience... unless you personally dropped off an RV at the doorstep of American mountain momma and her kids who lost everything, like I did...
...you do NOT get to tell me what we "owe" Ukraine
I wasn't a MAGA person back then. I was honestly a stuck-up jerk who thought I was better than you because I got my news from "the experts".
I couldn't have been more wrong.
Once you see the media turn on you, your own government abandon you, the bubble begins to burst.
Then, you can't unsee it.
"America First" isn't just a slogan.
It's a blood-curling-scream into the night for all of us who were abandoned by our own government when we needed it the most...
That's why I'm MAGA now.
Overwhelmed? Overcommitted? Saying “no” isn’t selfish but is often necessary. Jesus didn’t say yes to everything, and neither should you…READ MORE:
