MORNING MOTIVATION: Loving Your Enemies: Beast-Like I had a road rage incident the other day. Not proud of it. I responded pretty much how most people respond to political debates.

Thoughts On DeSantis and The Campaign I sat down to share some thoughts on DeSantis' faith, but I want to save that because listening to DeSantis's launch and people's reactions to it made me angry. Three things flooded into my brain: Making idols, a sovereign God and Ben Franklin's advice to the founders. We have to get started on the right foot or we'll never make it to the end alive.

It's always Pride Month, it seems. How did we get to this point in our culture? Where trans fake nuns are honored at baseball games and men are sexually dancing in front of little girls? One reason is that we confused affections with emotions and let our feelings run the show. Esau is the clearest example. We see it around us every day.

Our media is no longer fueled by the truth. It's only mission...clicks. They will stop at nothing to create absurd headlines & stories (like Donald Trump with prostitutes in Moscow) and massive amounts of people run with it assuming it's true.

Biden told a crowd of black graduates that the biggest terrorist threat is White Supremacy.

Morning Motivation: Christianity Is a Fight. Name The Enemy. One of the fundamental mistakes of the "War On Terror" is we refused to name the enemy. You can't win if you can't identify who you are fighting against. It's the same with most Christians. They think Christianity is a fun cruise ship. They don't know it's a way. So who is the enemy?

MORNING MOTIVATION True Christianity is a fight. Our modern culture tells us the greatest virtue is to be nice, and you can't have enemies because that's mean and no one is wrong about anything because "who are you to judge, stop being so mean." But if you don't think Christianity is a fight, the enemy has you right where he wants you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Moms, have you ever fallen into the trap of thinking you're doing only little, insignificant things? That's because we compare ourselves to the world's definition of what is important and big.

Truth, Lies and Jellyfish Christians. Did Ukraine launch a drone attack against Putin? We'll never know. You can't believe anything you hear, or even see these days. How are we to have discernment between truth and lies? I'm inspired by Nehemiah, who in 500 BC saw right through the lies of his detractors and never wavered.

What a wonderful example of how an expression that we've heard our entire lives, "Time heals all wounds" sounds right, but when you think about it, of course, it's not true. That expression comes from a Greek poet in 300 BC, it is NOT in the Bible, so what DOES heal all wounds, and what heals them not "in time" but NOW.

Tucker Carlson said the debates in our country are between Good and Evil. But you can't say that today. In today's culture, everything is good. If you talk about evil then you're being mean.
