Disabuse and Disillusion The most dangerous political illusion of our time? The belief that political victory is synonymous with legitimate success. We are encouraged to vote, to protest, to get charged up, and to align ourselves with parties that promise change. History demonstrates that even the most well-intentioned actions can lead to ruin, out of…

Our Foundation God’s goodness is not something to be proven in objective terms but experienced through self-identification. When we pray, repent, and reside upon our past errors, we can see the divine patterns otherwise hidden from within the ostensible chaos of existence. God’s goodness is an active force that moves through our lives, shaping our…

Power in Humility, Weakness, and Suffering Consider the words of Jesus: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” (John 14:12). This is not a promise of mere mimicry;…

Transformation Begins Within So spiritual transformation is to find focus in spirit, acquire a peaceful spirit internally, and, eventually, attain to spiritual warfare. This is absolute progression that mirrors the structure of creation itself. There is the act of choosing to align oneself with higher truths rather than the distractions of the world. There is…

Peace Within, and Particular Alignment Acquire a peaceful spirit immanently. Far from passivity, it is preparation for the greater battles. Cultivate a profound stillness that permits vision beyond illusions of the world. Embracing the present moment with unshakeable serenity, despite the turmoil and chaos which surrounds us. To acquire peace within is to recognise that…

Destroy the Corruptive Element with the Corrective What does it mean for discourse to be a weapon against corruption? It is the primary means by which we challenge the powerful, expose their lies, and force accountability. Discourse is the tool that allows us to speak truth to power and punch up rather than down. Where…

How Divine Discourse Transcends Words as Logical Destiny Prayer is a sacred dialogue between the soul and the divine, most importantly in supplication. When Paulus spoke of prayer, he did so with the understanding that it is not about changing God’s mind, or attempting to influence Him or His plan for us, but about aligning…

Return of the Kings The Christian world has few leaders, with much fear, but there is only one path, straight and narrow. Cheers to those few men out there beginning to light the torches along the way. Our best leaders will follow the kings’ King, the Lord of lords. For He makes fit the humblest…
