When the Headlines Fade, Our Prayers Should Not

On February 28, 2026, at 1:15 a.m. ET, a joint U.S. and Israeli military operation known as Operation Epic Fury began, targeting Iranian security, command, and military infrastructure.

For days, the eyes of the world were fixed on the unfolding events. News feeds were constant. Commentary was everywhere. Concern, debate, and speculation filled the air.

But now, only a week later, much of that attention has faded.

What has not faded is the danger faced by the brave men and women serving in uniform every hour.

Tragically, the United States has already suffered six casualties in this conflict. Our hearts grieve for their families, and we are reminded how quickly freedom can demand a price. Yet many understand that the number could have been far higher.

Many people disagree with this operation—and in a free nation, that is your right. But it is important to remember that you have that right because courageous men and women are willing to stand in harm’s way to defend it.

Speaking as a retired U.S. Navy veteran, I can tell you this: when we raised our right hand and took the oath, we understood that the day could come when we might be asked to give the ultimate sacrifice—our lives—for our country.

These service members are not headlines. They are sons, daughters, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, and friends.

So even if the news cycle has moved on, let us not move on in our prayers.

Pray for the men and women serving in harm’s way.
Pray for their families waiting at home.
Pray for the nations of the United States and Israel.
And pray that wisdom and peace will ultimately prevail.

We Cannot Face Satan On Our Own Terms — Only Through the Cross As Believers, we must never make the mistake of thinking we can confront Satan in our own strength, even by imitating how Jesus faced him during His earthly ministry. Jesus met the enemy as the sinless Son of God—perfect in obedience, unmatched in holiness, and without the corruption of sin that taints our human nature. We are foolish to believe we can meet Satan on the same terms. We are not Christ—we are His followers. And our power does not come from ourselves, but from what He has already accomplished on our behalf. The only way of true escape from the enemy’s grip is not self-effort, religious works, or spiritual bravado. It is to look exclusively to the finished work of Jesus at the Cross —where the battle was decisively won, and where the enemy was eternally defeated. At the Cross, Christ became our Substitute . Through His perfect life and His willing, sacrificial death, He conquered the powers of darkness on all c...

  ✝️ Christianity: Not Just Something You Do—It’s Who You Are There’s a dangerous misconception floating around today—that Christianity is a part-time hobby, a weekend ritual, or a list of dos and don'ts. But let me tell you from experience: Christianity is not something you do. It’s who you are. Or more accurately, it’s who you’re supposed to be. This month marks 53 years since I gave my life to Christ . I wasn’t looking for Him, but He was looking for me. And He used the most powerful vessel He could find— a praying great-grandmother , 63 years my senior, who refused to let hell have me. I didn’t understand God. I had no clue about heaven, hell, or the weight of eternity. But she knew . She saw past what I was into and spoke into who I was called to be. I’ll never forget the day she cornered me and said, point blank: “Boy, you are not going to hell! You will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a prophetic declaration fueled by relentless ...

  🕊️ Why Should You — or Shouldn’t You — Attend Church? I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by the rhythms of church life. From Sunday School and Vacation Bible School to revival meetings, baptisms, and Bible studies — I’ve seen the full spectrum of what it means to “go to church.” Church has been a regular part of my routine, my upbringing, and my community for as long as I can remember. But here’s the truth: It wasn’t until I surrendered my heart and life to Jesus Christ at the age of 14 that I truly understood the biblical reason for going to church. 🙋‍♂️ So Why Do We Go to Church? Some people go because they’re trying to check the box. Others go because they feel guilty if they don’t. Some just need a little spiritual boost to get through the week. But none of those are the right reasons. Yes, Hebrews 10:25 reminds us: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the...
