Love one another

We are going to leave our study in the book of Acts this week to look at this psalm. This is a psalm of ascents, which means it was likely sung by Israelites as they neared Jerusalem on their way up to worship the Lord at an annual feast, such as Passover.

Revelation 13:10 speaks to Christians about the need to persevere in the faith: “If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if anyone is to be slain with the sword, with the sword he must be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.”

DUNCAN/Greatly afflicted

If you have your Bible, I’d invite you to turn with me to Psalm 129. As we go through this psalm,

THOMAS/The changing media landscape

When White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced last week that the briefing room is now open to reporters for “new media,” including podcasters and websites, she was acknowledging the power and reach of these outlets, which was demonstrated in the last election when President Trump made himself available to outlets that were ignored by the Kamala Harris campaign.

The book of Revelation has such dramatic visions to impress upon us spiritual realities that we don’t see clearly in our physical realm. It is a letter written by the Apostle John to Christians going through tribulation, a prophesy of how God addresses his people facing trouble and temptation in the world.

DUNCAN/The blessed fear

If you have your Bible, I’d invite you to open them with me to psalm 128. As you do, glance up to the one preceding it.

THOMAS/Migrant wars

When President Trump threatened to slap tariffs on Colombia if President Gustavo Petro did not accept criminal migrants deported from the U.S., he did not get the initial response he expected.

GETTING THE MESSAGE/Temporary trials and our eternal hope

Psalm 93 looks ahead to the reign of the Messiah, which means the ascension of Christ to the place of all power and authority at the right hand of God, after making atonement for sin on the cross and being raised from the dead.

If you have your Bible, I’d invite you to turn with me to Psalm 127. You will see that this is a psalm of Solomon’s.

EDITORIAL/A brighter future

President Trump’s Second Inaugural Address and his subsequent speech at the Capital One Arena marked a triumphant return to the White House, signaling a new era of American prosperity and strength. The President’s powerful words resonated with supporters, promising a “golden age” for America and a renewed focus on putting America first

THOMAS/The second time around

According to the Frank Sinatra song, “Love is lovelier, the second time around.” We’ll see how that works out in the second coming of Donald. J. Trump, now p resident of the United States for a second time, following a four-year “intermission.”

GETTING THE MESSAGE/The need we have for Christ

We are looking at Luke 2:21-24 this week, a passage that teaches us the value of our soul and the need we have of Christ. In verses 21-24, the emphasis is on Jesus being born under the law.

DUNCAN/He surrounds His people

If you have your Bible, please turn with me to Psalm 126. Have you ever had a deliverance of the LORD in your life that was almost too good to be true? You really wondered if you were dreaming.

THOMAS/Many to blame for LA’s ring of fire

When a politician says “don’t politicize” a significant event like the fires that have swept Los Angeles County, it’s a good bet they are attempting to divert attention and shield themselves from the consequences of their inaction.

GETTING THE MESSAGE/Spend your time wisely

We have entered into a new year, and it is a good time to review our spiritual lives from the last year, as well as what areas we would like to make improvements for this year.

DUNCAN/He surrounds His people

If you have your Bible, please turn with me to Psalm 125.

EDITORIAL/ESPN’s woke agenda

ESPN’s decision to omit the national anthem and moment of silence for the victims of the New Orleans terror attack from their Sugar Bowl broadcast is a disgraceful display of misplaced priorities and a stark reminder of the network’s increasing detachment from American values.

EDITORIAL/Carter’s moral ambiguity

Former President Jimmy Carter died last week at the age of 100 in his hometown of Plains, Ga. While many will remember him for his long life and post-presidency humanitarian work, examining his legacy through a more discerning lens is crucial.

Jenifer B. Branning’s recent victory in the Mississippi Supreme Court election marks a significant milestone for the state’s judicial system. 

LATINO/What’s up in the Legislature
