Hello Fred!

Hiii GGB:)

Why do we keep falling into the same temptations—and is God ever responsible for the test? In James 1:13–18, we uncover where temptation really comes from, how desire grows into sin, and why God is always the giver of what is good.

We love you so much. Jesus loves you more.

“Never forget” sounds strong until you realize how many people no longer know what they’re supposed to remember. On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we talk honestly about national memory, gratitude for the men and women who served, and why remembering can’t be reduced to a yearly moment of silence. If we forget the facts, we also forget the stakes and that vacuum always gets filled with a new story.

We also dig into the real-world battle over what gets taught to students, including the controversy in Texas social studies standards about describing 9/11 as an attack by radical Islam. When public language gets edited for comfort, public understanding gets weaker, and that shows up fast in debates about Sharia law, constitutional freedom, and whether Americans still recognize the threats that target a free society.

Then we pivot to some Good News Friday encouragement from the convention, including a powerful reminder of how stories shape courage. We share a standout moment from Speaker Mike Johnson about John Quincy Adams and the simple, stubborn virtue behind lasting reform: “Duty is ours, results are God’s.” We close with practical moral clarity for Christians who feel torn in elections, focusing less on personalities and more on principles and policies that either restrain evil or promote it.

Subscribe for more biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective, share this with a friend who cares about truth and freedom, and leave a review that tells us what topic you want us to tackle next.
