The Tyrant and the Martyr – A Tale of Two Statues

My wife and I were in Prague when we heard about the shooting of Charlie Kirk. It was late and we went to bed without knowing the outcome. We awoke in the morning to learn that Charlie had been martyred. As it happens, Prague is a great place to reflect on the enduring legacy of martyrs and to contrast that with the fate of the powerful secular elites.

Our Turning Point

In the wake of his tragic and shocking death, the nation has once again been riveted by its divisive politics and emotional media. The reaction to Kirk’s assassination has told us more about our country and ourselves than about this motivated and successful leader.

Grieving for America

We are all richer for his clear and convicted voice. We are healthier and stronger because of the young people he motivated and led into politics. Regardless of their party or persuasion. This is his greatest and lasting achievement. His gift to American politics. That ideas matter, change is possible, and we can all make a difference.

A Great Superlative

“Be kind and compassionate to one another,” Paul tells the Ephesians, “forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32). What’s been done for us, we must do for others. Nothing impacts our witness more than kindness. Through the eyes of kindness, we see our neighbors, our world, and ourselves.

Heal Our Land

Abraham Lincoln attached his signature to a Proclamation calling for a “National Day of Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer.”

On this day, Americans would be encouraged to take time from their daily pursuits and gather to pray for their country. Wrote the President:

“Let us then rest humbly in the hope. . . that the united cry of the nation will be heard on high and answered with blessings no less than the pardon of our national sins and the restoration of our now divided and suffering country to its former happy condition of unity and peace.”

Good Question

It is the most stunning promise you and I have—this promise of the resurrection. The most meaningful and the most comforting; the most secure and the most lasting. For now, this world is a cemetery in which too many seek life—its joy, satisfaction, and meaning—among the dead. Among the decaying remains of man’s misguided trust and long-lost dreams.

The Growing National Movement to Protect Children’s Innocence

Wyoming recently became one of the latest states to pass bold, pro-family legislation to safeguard children from harmful online content and preserve fairness in girls’ sports. These victories were not handed down from Washington, D.C., nor handed out by political elites. They were earned by citizens — ordinary Christians — who prayed, voted and engaged with their state leaders to demand change. And their efforts are working.

John 17 - Father, I Desire (#6)

Jesus, right before He goes to the cross, tells His Father God about His deepest desire. He tells Him, in essence - Father, I am willing to give up My life. I am willing to die, but this is what I really want. This is My heart’s cry. This is MY DESIRE—I want the ones that You have given Me as My inheritance to be WITH ME WHERE I AM. I want them to BEHOLD MY GLORY. I want them to see the LOVE that You have given Me and the love We share with each other. I want them to be surrounded in the circle of our love.

John 17 - Oneness (#5)

What is the true oneness that Jesus was talking about in this passage? Jesus had the same heart and motivations as His Father. As He spent time with the Father in the scriptures and in prayer while here on earth, more vision regarding His life was revealed to Him. Jesus was in human form showing us how to walk with the Father.
