Too many Americans believe that might makes right, because they are spiritually blind. Without a doubt, Donald J. Trump is one of the greatest proponents of this fool hearty philosophical principle. However, God says: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” (Zechariah 4: 6). The life of Jesus is a spiritual reminder that the Kingdom of God
cannot be established with physical weapons of warfare when he told Peter: “Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.” (Matthew
26: 52).
Individuals can have physical sight, but are spiritually blind, and vice versa. In the Gospel of Mark Jesus encountered a physically blind beggar, Bartimaeus, as he was leaving Jericho,
sin city. Bartimaeus was only physically blind, not spiritually blind deep in sin. Bartimaeus had heard about Jesus and was waiting for Jesus by the roadside. When Jesus came by Bartimaeus
yelled Son of David, and Jesus answered: “What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?” (Matthew 10: 51). “The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.”
(Mark 10: 51-52). Isn’t it amazing that in the 21st century, individuals that have physical sight can be so spiritually blind to a sinful carnal-minded male, such as Donald J. Trump. A carnal minded male is someone without a God Conscience. Christian Right Evangelicals, The GOP, White Nationalists, Fox “FAKE” News, and some spiritually misguided Blacks and other minorities open your spiritual eyes and allow the light of God to prevail in your life, because: “If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if
we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1: 6-8). Donald J. Trump is a classic spiritual example of an individual that has lied to himself as well as others time after time.
Too many Americans have become spiritually blinded by sin and corruption in high places when God has asked us to hold fast, and to become a living sacrifice to Him: “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

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.
