Unfortunately, most Americans do not desire to know the truth. This is why Jesus said: “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples; indeed, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32). Biblically word means truth. President-elect Donald J. Trump emphatically proved that most individuals would rather believe a lie than the truth, because truth requires work, and a lie only requires belief. Thus, if an individual is told the Truth he or she must go to work to find out whether it is the truth. Hence, rather than truth influencing the 2024 Presidential election lies, misinformation, and money once again elected Donald J. Trump to the Presidency. Sadly, and to the detriment of America’s leadership influence in world affairs the spiritually illiterate, and socio-economically uninformed/misinformed character of America’s voting population once again returned Donald J. Trump to The White House, The Peoples House. God warns us concerning doing things out of personal partiality: “Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be a partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.” (1 Timothy 5: 22). In fact, God says: “Let all things be done decently and in order.” (1 Corinthians 14: 40). The Presidential election of Donald J. Trump is an ungodly disgraceful shame! Individuals who think and vote with their irrational emotions rather than the spiritual logic of their minds is a deadly lifestyle voting habit, especially in a multi-cultural democratic society. America we need to socio-spiritually learn to apply the principles of God’s Word to democratic governance: “Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall be with you.” (2 Corinthians 13: 11). Multi-cultural positive governing traits and habits are not borne out of gaslighting problems, exploiting social conflicts, and socio-economic difficulties. Socio-economic problems are caused by neglect, selfishness, denial, withdrawal, and bitterness. Establishing societal peace and tranquility is not easy, especially in a multi-cultural society. It’s hard, difficult work. This is why every American must: “Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” (1 Peter 5: 8-9). Know this America, keep your eyes and ears attuned to hearing the Truth, because the Truth comes by spiritually understanding the Word of God.
Unfortunately, most Americans desire secularized entertainment rather than spiritual enlightenment. At the same time, democracy is for the spiritually enlightened as well as the secularly educated. Once again, disinformation and lies influenced the election of Donald J. Trump to a second term as President, despite his criminal mindset. Coupled with lies and the socio-economic fact that most individuals live by money, and not FAITH. Hence, what we have in America is societal confusion to the nth degree. Individuals who live by FAITH live eternally. Individuals who live by money live for now, at the present-moment. America, the Israelites desired a King because other nations had a King. God told the Israelites you do not need a King, because you are chosen to be the spiritual light of the world. I created you to rule over your own Spirit (soul). Against God’s advice and counsel, the Israelites chose Ahab as their King. Ahab was a sinful wicked man. Ahab provoked God, and even made Israel sin against God. America, the spiritual moral of the story is this: be careful what you vote for. It just might be to your absolute detriment and demise, because God is not fooled nor mocked. Individuals reap what they sow, and in the 2024 Presidential election America sowed to the whirlwind. Selah!

As September 13th rolls around, we extend our warmest birthday wishes to the creative powerhouse, Tyler Perry, a man whose indomitable spirit and groundbreaking work have left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment. With his multifaceted talents as an actor, playwright, screenwriter, producer, and director, Tyler Perry has not only entertained but also inspired audiences worldwide, particularly within the African-American community, where his influence and role have been nothing short of powerful. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1969, Tyler Perry’s journey to stardom was a path riddled with adversity. Raised in a turbulent household, he found refuge in writing, using it as a therapeutic outlet. This period of introspection gave rise to one of his most iconic creations, Madea, a vivacious, no-nonsense grandmother who would later become a beloved figure in Perry’s works, offering a unique blend of humor and profound life lessons. Despite facing numerous challenges, including rejection and financial struggles, Perry’s determination and unwavering belief in his abilities propelled him forward. In 1992, he staged his first play, “I Know I’ve Been Changed,” which, although met with limited success, was a pivotal moment in his career. Unfazed by initial setbacks, Perry continued to hone his craft, and by 1998, he had successfully produced a string of stage plays that showcased his storytelling prowess.
