Will the world ever "return to normal?" Natural disasters, tragedies, political upheaval. There are promises that abound offering hope that things will improve. But what will it take to obtain hope that never fails?
When the world is shouting from both sides of the road, demanding that you pick a team, remember this—Jesus never ran for office, never carried a protest sign, and never told His followers to take sides in earthly battles. His only cause was the Kingdom of God. So while the world argues, stand firm in faith, hold fast to the Gospel, and remember: the only banner worth waving is the one that points to Christ.
If it feels like we’re living through a new chapter of Revelation every morning with our coffee, you’re not alone. But instead of doomscrolling and complaining about the state of the world, James reminds us to do something radical—be patient, pray, and actually help each other stay on track. Jesus is coming back, but until then, we have work to do. So, less grumbling, more praying, and definitely more reminding our fellow believers that drifting away isn’t an option. The time is short, but God’s mercy is still at work—let’s not waste it.

Many have fallen into this dangerous trap, have you?
