A wise man said, the more things change, the more they stay the same. It is certainly true of our human nature. Christ alone promises transformation.
“It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.”
Philippians 1: 15-18 (NIV).
What do you think? Has the body of Christ changed much since the days of the Apostle Paul?

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

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.
