Politics without honor is like celebrating Christmas without honoring Jesus Christ, because Christ is the reason for the season. Therefore, we must spiritually try to understand why there is so much ungodliness in politics. Apparently, it’s because families, churches, and schools are not effective in their respective ordained roles. Families are not teaching and exampling spiritual moral values but are embracing materialism as a way of life. Families are spiritual units, and the basis of every society. Families are not economic units, but families have economic functions: food, shelter, and clothing. Churches, especially Christian Right Evangelical pastors are not teaching sound spiritual doctrines. Christian churches, for the most part have become too Social Club oriented and are not spiritually Bible-based. Public schools have become like baby-sitting services. Basically, keeping children while parents work, and we cannot positively declare in safe environments, because of lack of love, intellectual integrity, social respect, self-discipline, and school violence. Individuals cannot teach or learn in undisciplined, non-integrityoriented environments.
America, what we spiritually invest in these three major social institutions is what we invariably spiritually invest in multi-cultural democracy, and it is without honor and justice. January 6th, 2021 is the perfect example of politics without honor, and democracy gone astray. To add insult to injury, House Speaker Johnson, claims to be a Godly man, but his actions are so ungodly and devilish that he says Lord, Lord and consults with the devil, and the high priest of the devil’s Imp. What a shame! With such an ungodly political leadership example, America cannot be righteously exalted, because sin is a reproach to God Fearing people. But know this God will overthrow the house of the wicked, and the tabernacle of the righteous shall be exalted.
It is so spiritually difficult to get partisan political leaders on the same page, and going in the same direction, because: “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.” (Proverbs 21:16). America, we simply have too many dead-men-walking GOP politicians who are members of the congregation of the dead, and who will not listen to sound spiritual understanding. Thus, the GOP simply has too many ungodly politicians with minimal spiritual understanding of the Preamble and the U. S. Constitution, because they desire to transform multi-cultural democracy into White Privilege Autocracy, Russian style.

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.
