Good morning and Happy Sunday šāļø
Never allow fear control your life. Given we have one life to live on earth without unlimited do-overs, letās make it count by thinking beyond ourselves. Our Founding Fathers risked everything to break free from the yoke of Great Britain. What, if anything, are you willing to risk?
āDonāt fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul; rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Arenāt two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Fatherās consent. But even the hairs of your head have all been counted. So donāt be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.ā Matthew 10: 28-31 (CSB).
Power comes from faith in the existence of a Supreme Being who knows your name and situation. Be bold and courageous remembering to whom you belong. #faith #prayer #God #Christian #Jewish #America #Israel
Did you know that under NYC's new mayor, Zohran Mamdaniāthe city's first Muslim leaderāthe 5x daily Adhan (Muslim call to prayer) is now authorized to echo through the streets of New York? This expands on previous policies, allowing broadcasts every day, from dawn to night.
What started as Friday-only under Adams is now a full daily ritual, voted in by the majority of New Yorkers who backed this administration.
But here's a thought: If public expressions of faith are the new norm in one of America's most diverse cities, why not balance the scales? I challenge Christians and Jewsāespecially in areas where Islamic influence is strongāto organize our own daily public prayer vigils. Let's unite in prayer to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacobāthe same God Christians know as Jesus Christ. Push back against division and reclaim the light in our shared spaces.
This isn't about confrontation; it's about equality and spiritual resilience. The gauntlet is downāwill we pick it up? Let's ...
What does God want to accomplish in your life in 2026? He certainly has my attention.
āBut he said to me, āMy grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.ā Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.ā
(2 Corinthian 12:9).
āNow to him who is ableĀ to do immeasurably more than all we askĀ or imagine, according to his powerĀ that is at work within us,Ā to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations,Ā for everĀ and ever!ā
(Ephesians 3:20).

Greetings š
Hereās a prayer I prayed this morning. Am I the only imperfect Believer who fails their own standards of righteousness? I need a return of the fire. š„
āCreate in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
Ā so that sinners will turn back to you.ā
Psalm 51: 10-13 (NIV).
