"Jehovah will give it into the hand of the king." (1 Kings 22:12) Enlightenment is a vital element to understanding the Word. The story of Micah's prophecies shows us what happens when we try to understand the internal sense. How do we know we aren't just seeing what we want to see? What does it look like to earnestly draw doctrine from the Word? References: 1 Kings (1 K) 22:3-23, Matthew (Matt) 7:21-23, True Christian Religion (TCR) 231-2 By Rev.

I pray that we may return to love—loving one another irrespective of who we are or who they are.But how must we love? True love expresses itself in sacrificial and constructive ways. Jesus demonstrated that kind of love in all His actions, even to the very end. He transcended institutionalism and rigid rules in order to bring people together. Yet, in His name, we have too often built institutions that deepen division, which is contrary to what Christ taught and lived.Jesus stood against privilege and challenged doctrines and positions that exclude and discriminate. He sought to draw all people together. He asked, Who is thy neighbor? and taught that everyone we encounter is our neighbor and friend.Jesus reminded us that Jews and Samaritans had no dealings with one another, yet He shared a story that overturned that separation. His lesson was clear: though people may come from different faiths, backgrounds, or walks of life, once they meet, they share a common humanity and ought to help one another.And when Jesus asked Peter—indeed, when He asks all leaders—Do you love me? His answer was this: Then feed my sheep. Give them life. Give them what nourishes life. Give them what builds, restores, and uplifts.That is love. And perhaps that is where we must begin again.By Rev. Renaldo C.

On the contrary, the real American crisis is not merely political—it is moral. We are confronted with a President whose character appears fractured, whose words and actions often stand in contradiction.It is not enough to say, as Republican strategist Stuart Stevens suggests, that “an entire political movement chose him.” That may be true, but it does not absolve the deeper concern. Democracy may explain how power is acquired, but it does not justify how it is exercised.If a leader is perceived as hypocritical and duplicitous—saying one thing while doing another—then trust becomes an impossible currency. And without trust, diplomacy falters.How can adversaries, such as Iran, take seriously the promises of a man whose actions disrupt his own negotiations? To speak of peace while advancing conflict is to erode credibility on the world stage. No one bargains confidently with inconsistency.In one moment, Trump claims to be negotiating with Iran to end the war, while in the next he contemplates putting boots on the ground. Reports indicate that just before military action against Iran, diplomatic channels had been engaged regarding its nuclear program—yet, without warning, strikes followed. Even now, the language of negotiation persists alongside the shadow of force.Is it wishful thinking to believe that Iran—or anyone—can trust the United States under such conditions?Even traditional allies in NATO and the European Union have shown signs of unease—questioning commitments and recalibrating expectations—after treaty disruptions, territorial rhetoric, and sweeping tariff threats. When consistency falters, confidence follows.Indeed, this is the deeper problem.And yet, perhaps this is not new.History reminds us that humanity has long wrestled with its own contradictions. In the biblical account, the crowd chose Barabbas—a criminal—over Jesus. They freed one they feared and condemned one they did not understand. It was not simply a political decision; it was a reflection of human frailty.Two thousand years later, the pattern feels hauntingly familiar.We are still choosing.Still weighing spectacle over substance, impulse over integrity.Perhaps nothing has changed—or perhaps the burden has always been ours to bear.For nations do not collapse in a single moment of chaos; they erode in the quiet compromises we justify, the contradictions we excuse, and the character we overlook.And if we continue to choose power over principle, spectacle over substance, then the crisis is not the President.The crisis is us.By Rev.

The Science Of... Forgiveness? By Rev. Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli November 9th, 2025

Residents from Black River, St. Elizabeth, are sounding the alarm, and frankly, it's hard not to share their outrage. In the fragile hours after the hurricane swept through, what should have been a coordinated, decisive government response instead looked like hesitation, confusion, and absence.Some people are alleging that the relief agencies on the ground were ineffective—no tents, no structured food program, no organized medical presence. In a disaster of this scale, essential services should have been stationed and ready: emergency tents, mobile clinics, water and sanitation units, ground teams tracking displaced residents, and a rapid deployment of resources to stabilize those most affected. That simply did not happen. Instead, helicopters circled overhead, assessing the destruction from a distance, while families on the ground waited—hungry, exposed, unaccounted for. Displaced residents still don't have proper shelter. They don't have a central point of service. They don't have a coordinated system guiding them toward safety, medical care, or basic necessities. In 2025, after so many global lessons in disaster management, this should never be the story. And yet here we are.Let's be clear: relief comes before rebuilding. Before talk of construction, procurement, or long-term recovery, there must be tents, food, water, sanitation, health services, child protection services, and community support teams on the ground immediately. That's Emergency Response 101. You stabilize the people, then you move to rebuilding the community.But from all accounts, Jamaica's government response is lagging—and community members are noticing. Many are openly saying that if it weren't for people like Shaggy and other Jamaican celebrities abroad, flying in and stepping up, many families would still be starving, stranded, and forgotten.It shouldn't take celebrity intervention for people to get basic relief.So the question stands like a heavy drumbeat: What is going on?Why weren't emergency tents pre-positioned? Why wasn't there an immediate medical and sanitation rollout? Why do residents have to beg for what should be automatic in a disaster? And most importantly: Who is accountable for this breakdown, and when will the people of Black River get the relief they deserve?By Rev. Renaldo C McKenzie, Author of "Neoliberalism.
