God is incredibly good to his people. He just wants our yes and amen. Are these words as encouraging to you as they are to me?
“Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you.
Rescue me from my enemies, Lord; I run to you to hide me.
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.
For the glory of your name, O Lord, preserve my life. Because of your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress.
In your unfailing love, silence all my enemies and destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.”
Psalm 143: 8-12 (NLT).

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?

Good morning 🌞
Here’s my Saturday morning meditation. It is Paul’s prayer for the Philippians. Everyone needs encouragement from time to time.
“I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ. . .
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all discernment, that you may approve things that are excellent so that you may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which comes through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.”
Philippians 1: 6, 9-11 (MEV).
Make America GREAT by standing for truth—no matter the cost. Don't parrot talking points; question them when they stray from principle.
I lost over 300 followers for calling out the Erika Kirk appointment to the Air Force Academy Board of Visitors. Conservatives once fiercely defended the First Amendment and merit. Now some silence dissent like the left.
We need to man up, put on our big girl panties, and hold BOTH parties—and our own leaders—accountable. When principles get sidelined, speak up.
As John 8:32 declares: "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Will you join me in demanding accountability on all sides?
