TRUMP GOT TRUMPED! WHY? HUBRIS!
Trump got trumped by hubris. The Photo-Op Prophets and ecclesiastical politically active Republicans mistook political power for the power of God. Spectacle, loyalists, and selective justice failed. Three strikes. One call: repent and return to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
WHAT IS GOD SAYING ABOUT POLITICS IN AMERICA?
A biblical warning against modern Charismatic and Evangelical voices that equate political power with revival. Drawing from Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and the words of Jesus, the article argues that true revival is marked by repentance, obedience, and a return to Christ—not elections or influence.
THE NARROW WAY: WHAT IF JESUS DOES NOT MEASURE SUCCESS THE WAY WE DO?
What if the Church is measuring success by standards Jesus never gave us? This article examines the narrow way through Matthew 7, Luke 13, Matthew 25, James 1:27, and John 17:3—arguing that knowing Christ, obeying Him, and serving the least matter more than platform, numbers, or applause.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LOVE JESUS?
Do we love Jesus the way Scripture defines love—or only the way we sing it? Jesus gave the test: the one who loves Him keeps His commandments. Love God with everything. Love your neighbor in deed and truth. Do not love the world. Go. Preach. Serve the least. If we love Him, we do what He said.
HEAR HIM—THIS IS MY BELOVED SON
Come and Dine calls believers back to the center of the Christian life: Jesus Christ Himself. The Father says, “Hear Him.” Scripture points to Him. Jesus invites us to come, abide, dine, and receive life from Him—not move past Him into religion, activity, or knowledge without relationship.
REVIVAL BEGINS WITH REPENTANCE
You cannot revive what refuses to turn back to God. Many chase revival, but Scripture asks if we want it enough to repent. Revival is not excitement on an unchanged life. God starts with His people. Sardis looked alive and was dead. The answer is not a rebrand. Return to Jesus.
THE MESSAGE IS JESUS; NOTHING ELSE IN HIS PLACE
The gospel is Jesus Christ alone—not ourselves, denominations, or human additions. Paul preached Christ crucified as the center of Christianity. The cross is the life, not just the entrance. Christ must have preeminence. Apostles preached Jesus, not themselves. Revival begins with repentance and returning to Him as Lord. Preach Christ crucified, risen, and preeminent. Take up the cross daily. The message is Jesus. Him we preach.
Stop Asking for a Throne: Three Times Jesus Pointed Past Politics to the Cross
Jesus refused a political throne three times—before Pilate, on the Emmaus road, and at the Ascension. His disciples wanted Israel restored by government. He pointed them to the Cross, repentance, and Holy Spirit-empowered Gospel preaching. Politics can never replace the Gospel.
When God’s Spiritual Governance Systems Fail, the People Will Seek a Political Solution
Eli honored his sons above God. Samuel, who announced that judgment, later appointed his own corrupt sons as judges. Their failure shattered trust. Israel answered spiritual collapse with a political demand: “Give us a king.” When God’s government fails, the people will seek a political solution.
The American Church: Three Strikes and You Are Out
Three major Christian voices—Oral Roberts, Rodney Howard-Browne, and Reinhard Bonnke—warned the American Church to wake up, reject political substitutes, and return to the Gospel. This article examines three warnings, three missed opportunities, and the urgent call to repent.
Politics Trumped the Gospel
In 2013–2016, Reinhard Bonnke brought the Gospel to America with the same fire that transformed Africa, declaring “America shall be saved.” Many Evangelical leaders largely ignored him. Then they poured their energy into the 2016 Trump campaign and the pursuit of political power. The result: greater division and spiritual decline. Politics cannot save a nation. Only the Gospel can.

Electoral Triumph, Spiritual Decline: The Paradox of Evangelical Political Power
Evangelical political power delivered major electoral and policy wins—from the Moral Majority to Project 2025 and the overturning of Roe. Yet church attendance has collapsed and the “nones” keep rising. This piece traces four decades of activism and asks the hard question: Did the Kingdom advance, or did politics become ultimate while the nation’s soul slipped away?
The Divine Mandate: Preaching Repentance and Remission of Sins in the Name of Jesus Christ, Not Condemnation
In a judgmental world, Ezekiel's prophecies and Jesus' Gospel reveal God's heart: no delight in the wicked's death, but joy in repentance. We aren't judges— we're watchmen called to warn lovingly and preach salvation, not condemn. Discover how divine mercy urges all to "turn and live!"
