  • On The Brink
    The moral framework of liberty is based not on what men dictate, but on what time-honored principles, which are self-evident truths, are founded on. Where liberty begins and ends lies in the moral law that is given by one creator. Because if we are all created equal only the creator can qualify that truth. Each of us is the evidence of the existence of this law. Without this law we cannot have liberty. With the world on the brink, now, more than ever we need that law of liberty to anchor us down and to guide us to the ultimate world made new.

  • Creed
    We are one race of many colors, of many tongues and many voices. We are one in blood, of many in thought, made equal by creation, designed for the light, fallen, but redeemed, flawed, but renewed, neighbors all, travelers all, each seeking, each struggling and striving for that place across the deep river, beyond the Jordan.

  • The Daring of Promise
    Do we refuse to accept that humanity cannot rise above the darkness? Do we refuse to accept that we cannot change? Do we refuse to accept that our nature is just a product of mere chance? The truth of us isn't found in the skepticism of cynicism. It is found in the truth of promise. The promise of restoration. The promise that dares us to stand, dares us to rise and dares us to finally overcome.

  • Life Interrupted
    When we suffer together, we come together. This has always been a part of the human experience. But when we emerge from crisis and adversity, we often return to a normalcy that gives way to complacency. In the midst of an unprecedented global crisis such as this we must ask, what comes next? What do we look forward to? Is it more of the same that inevitably leads to nothing or does our story end in an end to all of this and to a new beginning. This interruption to our lives here serves as a wake up call to look beyond this world to a new one. It's my choice and your choice to make.

  • To Imagine or To Believe
    We are in the middle of it. Hour by hour and day by day, we watch the world changing. It's no movie. It's real. We want an end to it. Do we come out of this? Can we dream or imagine all of this away? It comes down to what we really believe. Because intellect and raw numbers aren't enough to really satisfy the human soul. Looking for the truth is an existential quest. In the end, it isn't an imagining that will free us all of this. Ultimately, the answer lies in our courage and willingness to do one thing: To Believe.

  • Actually Love
    Love. It's the great ideal of poets, singers and story-tellers. We yearn for it, we seek after it, we believe in it. We long for ever after. In the midst of the shadows of our dark world, it's love that allows us to see and be small points of light that can give the world hope. Love begins with choice. It begins with giving each one of us the freedom to choose either for evil or for good. Truth leads us to love and love binds us to the truth. The choice belongs to each one of us to make.

  • Beyond the Evidence
    What we think we know and what actually is are two very different things. When we search we must allow the trail of evidence to take us and reveal to us what is actually there, not what we think we know might be there. Confirmation bias can be a dangerous thing because it allows us to make decisions about what we already think we know. Preconceived ideas lead us only to prejudice, not to knowledge or true understanding. We must look at the evidence of things for what they are - a raw and real proof of the truth we seek.
