These verses popped into my mind yesterday as I prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane.
What do these verses mean to you? How might they apply to modern nations and conflicts?
“Jesus knew their thoughts and replied, “Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A town or family splintered by feuding will fall apart. And if Satan is casting out Satan, he is divided and fighting against himself. His own kingdom will not survive. And if I am empowered by Satan, what about your own exorcists? They cast out demons, too, so they will condemn you for what you have said. But if I am casting out demons by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you. For who is powerful enough to enter the house of a strong man and plunder his goods? Only someone even stronger—someone who could tie him up and then plunder his house.”
Matthew 12: 25-26 (NLT).
🙏 Watch & share this powerful story of faith and survival!
“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story— those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.”
— Psalm 107:2

I can’t help thinking that these are ill-gotten gains that illustrate a failure of the U.S. Civil Court system.

Greetings 👋
As Christians, it’s wise to regularly examine our hearts. Are we craving the world’s approval a little too much?
Jesus didn’t sugarcoat what following Him would cost:
“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.
Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me.
They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
Anyone who hates me also hates my Father. If I hadn’t done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still ...
Today we learned that Senator Lindsey Graham has passed away after a sudden illness. He was 71.
It’s a sobering reminder that none of us is promised tomorrow. Our times are in His hands.
“My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.” — Psalm 31:15
What kind of legacy do we want to leave?
Graham and Mitch McConnell were once two of the most powerful figures in American politics—men who helped shape foreign policy, the courts, and the direction of their party for decades. Now both are no longer positioned to influence world events.
Life moves quickly. Power fades. Influence passes. God is in control!
Let’s pray that God raises up a new generation of men and women leaders after His own heart—leaders marked by wisdom, courage, integrity, and a genuine fear of the Lord.
May the Lord comfort Senator Graham’s family, his staff, and all who mourn him today.
May Senator Graham rest in peace.
