  When Everything Grinds to a Halt A government shutdown may sound dramatic—and it is. It happens when Congress can’t agree on a budget to fund federal agencies. Non-essential operations pause, national parks close, and passport processing slows. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of federal employees face furloughs or work without pay. The ripple effects are unavoidable. Federal workers miss paychecks, businesses reliant on government contracts feel the strain, and public services stall. Even if you’re not directly affected, disruptions like delayed tax refunds or loans can still impact your life. Essential services—like Social Security, military defense, and law enforcement—usually continue. But shutdowns remind us of one undeniable truth: human systems, no matter how advanced, are fragile and prone to failure. A Kingdom That Never Shuts Down Now, contrast that with God’s kingdom. Unlike any earthly government, His reign is eternal and unshakable. It doesn’t rely on votes, budgets,...

Campaigns hinge on promises that appeal to personal gain, leaders often seek recognition and influence, and policies can be shaped by the desire to maintain control. This isn’t new; it reflects the broken nature of humanity and a world separated from God’s design. But God’s politics—the way His kingdom operates—stands in stark contrast. In the kingdom of God, power is displayed through humility, and greatness is achieved by serving others. Jesus, the ultimate King, demonstrated this when He washed His disciples' feet and ultimately gave His life on the cross. Philippians 2:3-8 reminds us to "do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit" and points to Jesus’ humility as our model. While worldly politics thrives on pride and the struggle for dominance, God’s politics is rooted in selflessness. Matthew 20:26-28 captures this beautifully: “Whoever ...

Many of us spend our days gripping the wheel tightly, determined to steer toward success, happiness, or stability. But what happens when our plans unravel, and the path we thought we controlled takes an unexpected turn? It’s in those moments that we realize how little control we actually have. The Truth We Resist Control is comforting, isn’t it? The sense of being in charge of our destiny or crafting the outcomes we desire feels empowering. But life has a way of teaching us otherwise. Challenges arise, relationships fray, and unexpected trials remind us that the wheel we hold onto so tightly doesn’t always lead us where we intended to go. What if the very thing we need most isn’t control, but surrender? The Freedom of Surrender Surrendering doesn’t mean giving up; it means giving over—to God. When we try to manage life’s storms on our own, we often run aground. But when we ...
