Power without positive spiritual-moral direction is a dangerous societal proposition. On January 20th, 2025, America witnessed a classic example of ungodly White Power on full display from the Oval Office in the White House. President Trump’s bold pardoning of January 6th, 2020, rioters portend some difficult days ahead for America. White Power Law and disorder seemingly will be the governing platform of the Trump administration. America let’s behold how GOP politicians will white-wash President Trump’s pardoning of violent criminals who attempted to overthrow the government, multicultural democracy. Apparently, if you are White, you are THE LAW. Sadly, Trump has made a sinful mockery of the concepts of “law and order” and “no one is above the law”.
Apparently, the Preamble, the Constitution, and timehonored enacted laws have no real teeth. Seemingly Christian Right Evangelicals have absolutely no understanding of the religion of Jesus, only a desire to embrace ungodly bastardized partisan religious tenets concerning White Power and White Privilege, not genuine religion. White Power is not the answer to the socio-economic problems facing American society. Jesus is the answer to all problems. The brother of Jesus, James explains why: “If any man among you seems to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. Pure religion and unde led before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their a iction, and to keep himself unspotted before the world.” (James 1: 26-27). Genuine wisdom comes from heaven, because the wisdom from heaven is pure and not de led, because true Godly wisdom is measured by the depth of an individual’s moral character.
This is why Jesus’s brother James said: “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy, and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” (James 3: 16-18). America there are deadly consequences for sin as well as not listening to and adhering to Godly truth. e Israelites found out the hard way: “ The days of punishment have come. The days of retribution have come: let Israel know this!” (Hosea 9: 7). Initially, the Israelites had (613) Hebraic laws they enacted to establish moral order, and they could not live by them. God spiritually encountered Moses on Mt. Sinai and gave the Israelites the Ten Commandments, and they could not live by them. God embodied himself in Jesus Christ and simplified the Ten Commandments into Two Great Commandments for humanity to follow

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.
