MY PURPOSE IN 2025
COMMON SENSE: I see a lot of memes that communicate something like this: “If God can do this, that or the other, think of what He can do for you.” When I see messages like this, I cringe. There’s a reason why. It’s because Almighty God isn’t interested in furthering your purposes. His goal is…
Read MoreHunter’s Pardon Is Just the Beginning
COMMON SENSE: President Biden has pardoned his son Hunter for every crime he has committed to make the entire Biden family rich from 2014 until now. Joe did this, despite assuring the American people that he wouldn’t numerous times. His Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, repeatedly denied that Joe would pardon Hunter. She made this assertion…
Read MoreGod Has Answered Our Prayers
COMMON SENSE: I’ve been a Christian for a long time, many decades actually. Over this period, prognosticating about the future, many of my friends have told me precisely what God is doing for them—how He is leading them to do this and that. I’ve believed them, usually anyway, but this has never been my experience.…
Read MoreWhen You Get Stuck In “I Don’t Care Mode”
There are seasons in life when we get hit so hard—by circumstances, disappointments, or just the unrelenting grind of daily living—that we find ourselves saying, “I don’t care.” Deep down, we know that’s not entirely true. We do care. But the weariness has taken over, sapping our strength, stealing our motivation, and leaving us feeling…
Read MoreHold Biden’s Team to Account
COMMON SENSE: With six weeks remaining before Donald Trump is sworn into office as our 47th President, his leadership is already having a profound impact both domestically and abroad. We can also see that President Biden’s feckless incompetency is diminishing daily. His power is nearly gone, thank the Lord. Seeing it fade is reminiscent of the…
Read MoreNo Such Thing as an Overprotective Parent
“Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” — Proverbs 22:6 NLT “Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.” — Proverbs 1:8-9 NIV In…
Read MoreThe Flip Side of Lawfare
COMMON SENSE: Political analysts love to dissect the results of elections. That’s no secret. They tell us how women voted compared to men, how those who are educated voteed compared to the less educated, and numerous other categories. They bifurcate the electorate in numerous ways, but they routinely leave out one variable that I consider…
Read MoreThis Is Why Trump Demands Personal Loyalty
COMMON SENSE: Progressive political commentators, when discussing President-Elect Trump’s cabinet nominations, mention that personal loyalty is the overriding criteria for each selection. When they say this, it’s never in a complementary way. Instead, they consistently connect his behavior with the actions of a dictator. Linking Trump to Hitler, where personal loyalty to the Führer was…
Read MoreLet Us Rise Up and Build
Organizational change leaders must first create urgency by highlighting risks or opportunities in open and honest cultures (Holmquist, 2021, pp. 111-112). With specific performance improvements and targets, short-term wins build momentum and credibility, increasing success possibilities rather than impending deterioration (Kotter 2012, p. 12; DePree, 2004, p. 111). After early wins, leaders should consolidate advantages…
Read MoreKamala’s Missing Voters
COMMON SENSE: At this point, nearly all of the Presidential votes have been tabulated. Trump received 72.5 million, while Kamala received 67.9 million. That’s an impressive victory for Trump, but his total is substantially less than the 74.2 million he received when he lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 election. In Joe’s victory, he…
