Acts 17:26-31 Why should we celebrate the United States of America? After all, we have killed 63 million babies in the womb. Even with the Dobbs decision, we continue to kill babies with mail-order drugs so that pharmaceutical companies can earn billions on the mayhem. We enslaved over 3 million Africans and exploited their labor…

I have written before on keeping the “main thing the main thing.” (Most recently, Purposefuleader.org, 1-6-2026) If you are a follower of Christ, these words are especially for you. If you do not yet embrace the unequivocal joy of knowing and following Christ, keep reading. You, like those of us who follow Christ, have wasted…
Read moreRededicating America to God
God created government (Isaiah 9:6-7, Isaiah 33:22, James 4:12). To recognize that truth, in March of 1776, the Continental Congress issued a proclamation dedicating these United States to God Almighty. That proclamation was wholly and unequivocally Christian. It called for “a day of humiliation, fasting, and prayer, that we may appease His (God’s) righteous displeasure,…

When does a follower of Christ stop telling others about Christ? Most would say never, and to a point, I agree. However, in Matthew 7:6, Christ told His followers that they should not give what is sacred to those who continually refuse it. However, this decision comes only after we have “removed the plank from…
Read moreOn God and Satan
Unfortunately, today’s church and our culture do not understand the spiritual realm. Because of that, I have been prompted again to point out that there is only one God, Elohim (1 Timothy 2:5). There is not “your god” or “my God.” If a person claims to be an atheist, they have a god character they…

Recently, I saw a quote attributed to Pam Bondi. According to the social media warriors, AG Bondi said that if they prosecuted everyone on the Epstein list, the “whole system would collapse.” Or was it burn? Regardless, I don’t see an issue with the current system collapsing or burning, but the quote never happened. As…

Pastors are called to perform many duties. We are mentors, disciples, teachers, counselors, and shepherds. As leaders, we are not above our congregation but servants to them as we try to model Christ (Matthew 20:26-28; Mark 10:45). Sometimes we have to say tough things while speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). The Holy Spirit…

“But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading for the Old Covenant, because the veil is taken away in Christ. Nevertheless, when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.” (2 Corinthians 3: 14 & 16) Recently, I made a mistake and gave a…

Another year and another year of watching a lost humanity trying to take the reins from God. The oft-misattributed quote, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result,” comes to mind. While examining the question of why do people still “fight against the goad,” I revisited Bonhoeffer’s theory of folly—aka…
Read moreI Have Been on a Journey
I have been on a journey for 66 years now. That journey has been full of micro-journeys of various lengths and purposes. The first 21 years were immersed in “growing up” and educational pursuits. Thankfully, I had loving parents who invested what they could in my development and, for the most part, encouraged my endeavors….
