Birmingham. I met the old woman for coffee. She was small and slight, with a mane of white. She spoke with a thick Latin accent.
“I have a story for you,” she said.
I’m a sucker for a good story.

Romans 13 and Revelation 13 aren’t enemies. They’re bookends. One describes government as God intended it to be: rewarding good and restraining evil. The other warns what happens when government abandons that mission and begins demanding loyalty that belongs to God alone. History is filled with examples of Romans 13 being used to justify kings, slavery, and authoritarian regimes, while Scripture repeatedly reminds believers that their highest allegiance is not to a political party, a flag, or a nation. Christians are called to be good citizens, but faithful disciples. God first. Everything else second.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are the victims of the Covenant School shooting in Nashville, for they are with God.
Hi, God,
It’s me again. I know it’s been a while since my last prayer, so I don’t blame you if you choose not to listen to a hopeless sinner like me.
The truth is, I’m just not a very great guy. I wish I had a better excuse than this, but I don’t. And if I offered you a better excuse, you’d know I was lying.

Even during the spiritual “dog days,” when our hearts feel weary and our motivation fades, God invites us to keep seeking Him and promises to renew our strength.
Before the skies cleared over the Battle of the Bulge, General George S. Patton didn’t call for another committee meeting—he called for a chaplain. While modern America places its faith in technology, data, and bureaucracy, Patton believed victory required something more. He prepared relentlessly, commanded fearlessly, and then bowed his head in prayer. Days later, the weather broke, Allied aircraft filled the skies, and Patton pinned a Bronze Star on the chaplain who had written the famous weather prayer. Whether you call it coincidence or providence, one of America’s greatest generals never apologized for believing that faith belonged on the battlefield alongside tanks, artillery, and courage.
Truth is not determined by our feelings, our experiences, or whatever is popular this week. Even the most profound spiritual encounter still leaves one question unanswered: Is it true?
After years of searching through war, trauma, interviews, and extraordinary experiences, Shawn Ryan says his search led him to a simple conclusion—not another philosophy, not another experience, but Jesus Christ and the Bible. Whether you agree or not, his journey is a reminder that the greatest question any of us can ask isn’t, “What did I experience?” It’s, “What is true?”
Morgan arrived at the little lake cabin around lunchtime. Her sorority sister Grace was driving the car. The car wheeled into the gravel driveway. When Morgan crawled out of the passenger seat, we all rushed her and embraced.
Helping you connect with God. Every day. Every way.
In this message, Pastor Jentezen Franklin continues the series on The Power of Short Prayers, and shares how concise yet sincere prayers can open doors to remarkable change in your life.

‘The Faulkner Focus’ host Harris Faulkner and Larry Kudlow discuss the role faith plays in overcoming life’s challenges on ‘Kudlow.’
There are a lot of topics I could discuss today. I have files filled with articles, research and information that I could expound upon. With a 24/7 news feed, I’m constantly immersed in information from around the world. I draw from many sources, double check the information to verify it, filter it all through the lens of Scripture, ask the Lord to guide me as I sit down to write, and then share my thoughts with you, my readers and radio listeners.
When frustrations, disappointments, and sorrows arise, believers can cultivate the habit of turning first to prayer by intentionally placing reminders of God’s presence before their eyes and choosing, again and again, to cling to Christ.
Angels aren’t real. They can’t be. It just doesn’t make sense. How can a rational human with a working brain believe in invisible celestial creatures who all resemble Michael Landon?
Every generation claims it has finally uncovered the “real” Jesus. Strip away two thousand years of Christian teaching, mix in a little philosophy, sprinkle in some secret knowledge, and suddenly Christ becomes something entirely different. The tragedy is that the oldest counterfeit never disappears—it simply changes its vocabulary. The apostles warned that false gospels would come. They weren’t predicting the distant future; they were describing their own day. Two thousand years later, the same deception persists. The names have changed, but the message remains the same: replace the Savior with a teacher, repentance with self-discovery, and grace with the promise that the answer has been inside you all along. Counterfeits don’t succeed because they’re obviously false—they succeed because they look just enough like the truth to deceive those who never compare them to Scripture.
Few songs capture the heart of America as beautifully as America the Beautiful. Written by Katharine Lee Bates, the hymn is not merely a celebration of the nation’s landscape, heritage, and history—it is a petition that America would be, and remain, a nation marked by virtue, courage, justice, sacrifice, and divine blessing. As we reflect on each stanza, let us turn its words into prayer.
America is entering an uncharted, revolutionary time. We are no longer the America of our founders or even the America that existed twenty years ago.
One of the hardest things about discussing January 6th is that many Americans no longer seem interested in finding the truth. Too often, we are more interested in defending our tribe.
I let him help me out to my truck. He was a supermarket bag boy. Maybe 19. Nice kid. Reddish hair. Warm smile. He spoke with a significant speech impediment.
