My father understood the power of the vote in the nonviolent struggle for freedom and justice. Today, I’m asking you to exercise that power.
It’s Election Day. If you haven’t voted, confirm your polling location and hours and get to the polls. If you’ve already voted, help someone else get there.
Vote with a commitment to protecting the dignity and rights of every person.
“Let us march on ballot boxes.”

Father Lord, guard our hearts and shield our spiritual eyes from the deceptive attractions of the flesh and the enticements of this world. May our faith be so deeply and firmly rooted in You that we never become distracted, discouraged, or tempted to turn back to the things we have forsaken. May we remain steadfast in our walk with You, keeping our eyes fixed on eternity and our hearts anchored in Christ. May we never exchange the eternal glory ahead of us for the temporary pleasures of this world.
Amen.

Yes I do!!
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.
I know that many of us have experienced the pain of forgiving someone. Sometimes, we forgive, yet we find it difficult to forget the hurt, the betrayal, and the wounds inflicted upon us. But Jesus Christ possesses the power not only to forgive but also to remove our sins from remembrance. Indeed, forgetting is not always easy for human beings, but through spiritual maturity, constant fellowship with God, and the transforming power of His Word, we can learn to forgive from the depths of our hearts.
When we walk with God daily, we gradually develop the character of Christ, who dwells within us through faith. We begin to understand that forgiveness is not merely an act of kindness; it is a divine principle and a reflection of the nature of our Heavenly Father.
Remember, we are created in the image and likeness of God, and as His children, we are called to reflect His character on earth. If our Father in heaven demonstrates mercy, compassion, and forgiveness toward humanity, we, too, must strive to extend these virtues to those who offend us.
Therefore, learn to forgive, even when forgetting seems impossible. You may not immediately erase the memory of what someone did to you, but you can refuse to allow that experience to imprison your heart with bitterness, hatred, or resentment.
If, by God's grace, you are able to forgive and eventually forget the offence, that is a beautiful expression of spiritual growth. And if the memory remains, continue to seek God's grace to heal your heart and help you move forward without bitterness.
This is part of the Christian calling: to walk in love, demonstrate mercy, pursue peace, and reflect the nature of Christ in our daily lives.
Forgiveness is not a sign of weakness; it is evidence of spiritual strength. Learn to forgive, because you, too, depend on the mercy of God.
My entire life is built upon God; therefore, if you are not rooted in Him, kindly keep your distance. I am heavenly conscious, spiritually grounded, and firmly rooted in Christ. I am deliberately shedding the weight of worldliness and putting on the full armour of God, for I understand that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
I have nothing in this world worth exchanging for the salvation of my soul. My greatest concern is not what I stand to lose materially, socially, or emotionally, but whether I will preserve my soul and remain faithful to God until the end.
I choose Christ above the world, eternity above temporary pleasures, and righteousness above the applause of men. For, at the end of this earthly journey, nothing will matter more than where my soul stands before God.

Father Lord, we humbly beseech Thee for Thy mercy and unfailing grace, which have sustained us to this very stage of our lives. May the Spirit of Thy Word, who has faithfully preserved us thus far, continue to guide, protect, and shield us until the trials and tribulations of this earthly life have passed away. May Thy divine presence remain with us, now and forevermore. Amen.

Liftoff of Starship Flight 14 from Starbase, TX.
The first orbital launch attempt for the program.
Seen from 4 miles (6.4 km) away.
How can I
How can I repay the Lord
For his goodness to me
I will raise the cup of salvation
I will call on God's name
